This robust structure enables <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7515" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dock Maarten (Company)">Dock Maarten</a> to provide extensive shipyard services to its clients, including the accommodation of 100-ton cranes, or larger on both sides. Furthermore, it offers ample space for fuel trucks and other service vehicles to access vessels at the marina. This represents a significant enhancement in the marina's capabilities and offerings.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299862/image/large-c6afcc3ffc872094fdda76d097221637.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299862">For the construction of the new dock there was a cooperation between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7515" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dock Maarten (Company)">Dock Maarten</a>, Vanthek Projects, Caribbean General Contractors (C.G.C.) and Koole , where Vanthek executed the piling works, C.G.C. executed most of the civil works (earth works, concrete works, utilities and landscaping) and Koole executed dredging works and assistance with the sheet pile acquisition.

Over the past two decades, the Deher family has closely collaborated with the government of St. Maarten to expand their water rights and concessions. Their goal is to extend the marina's facilities to accommodate the world's largest yachts. St. Maarten is a popular winter destination for many of these yachts, thanks to its convenient proximity to St. Barths, a highly frequented global charter destination. The Deher family will continue to expand <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7515" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dock Maarten (Company)">Dock Maarten</a> with additional slips and upland amenities. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299860/image/large-7f7b14480beb22fbf120a6ac445f6f70.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299860">
