Founded in 2018 as an extension of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xtenders (Company)">Xtenders</a>’ work in the superyacht sector, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> initially focused on lightweight boarding and deck equipment designed to match the quality and finish of the tenders being delivered. The business grew out of repeated demand from shipyards and designers for products such as swimming ladders and awning systems that reflected the same emphasis on design, weight efficiency and usability. Since then, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> has expanded its range and developed its production capabilities, increasing its presence within the superyacht deck equipment market.Its relationship with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xtenders (Company)">Xtenders</a> continues to shape how the business operates today. The two companies share engineering expertise and production knowledge and may collaborate on the same yacht, with tender solutions and deck equipment developed in parallel to create greater consistency in design, materials and user experience. This also allows <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> to offer shipyards, designers and owner’s representatives a more coordinated approach across different parts of a project.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394339/image/large-761eef67c3473dcab070e3c337afcb00.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394339">Expanding the product range and reshaping the business<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a>’s product range now extends well beyond its initial focus on ladders and awnings. Today, the company’s portfolio includes self-levelling stairs, fender systems, mooring whips, gangways and a broader selection of boarding solutions. While core products such as swimming ladders, awnings, whips and fender systems continue to see strong demand, interest is also growing in newer categories including dock steps and davit cranes.Mooring equipment remains one area of focus, with carbon whips supplied with individual serial numbers to provide traceability and warranty assurance. At the same time, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> is continuing to develop further categories, including SOLAS-compliant pilot ladders, as it seeks to broaden its product range further.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396357/image/large-fee6e7bfab36f07ef8214522f3d34037.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396357">Supporting that broader product mix has been a wider change in the scale and structure of the business. In recent years, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4947" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xquip (Company)">Xquip</a> has undergone a management transition led by Thom van Riet, Joep Wolters and Matthijs van de Wijngaert, which has helped drive growth and product improvement.

Today's superyacht owners and captains expect more from a marina than a safe berth. As homeports become an increasingly important part of the ownership experience, the most successful destinations combine operational excellence with a lifestyle offering that enhances every day spent ashore. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a> has become one of the clearest examples of that evolution. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293730/image/large-e75af879f302d6126f25c083d7f277bc.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293730">Few marinas can claim such a close relationship to the city that surrounds them. Just beyond the pontoons lies one of Europe's most vibrant cities, where Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury shopping, world-renowned architecture and excellent international transport links are all within easy reach. Situated within walking distance of Barcelona's historic centre, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a> has become a unique waterfront setting, established as one of the city's most exclusive venues for luxury events, private celebrations and corporate hospitality.The port’s reputation has always been strong, but has gained international recognition since becoming the preferred superyacht marina during the 37th America’s Cup. While Barcelona welcomed the international sporting event, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell&nbsp;</a>sat right at the centre of the action.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364777/image/large-7bd7145011c49149e458148660ce9317.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364777">A homeport for world’s largest superyachtsBuilt to accommodate superyachts, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell&nbsp;</a>offers 73 berths, alongside the port’s impressive 400-metre dock, capable of welcoming some of the world’s largest superyachts, marking the largest dock in the Mediterranean.The marina’s scale is immediately apparent, but equally as impressive is the quality of day-to-day operations. Every aspect of a yacht’s stay has been carefully considered: from sheltered berthing to floating work platforms, mooring assistance, storage facilities adjacent to berths, and electric golf car transport and delivery service that simplify the logistics across the marina. These considerations allow for routine maintenance and operational tasks to be completed with minimal disruption.Fuel operations have become another defining factor of the marina: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a> can provide premium fuel as well as HVO eco-fuel.

The marina operates controlled access throughout the site, with clearly defined security zones aligned with international maritime standards, ensuring consistency without any unnecessary complexity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399405/image/large-336bb471434503b82f631267f36aa110.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399405">A new era shaped by investment and ambitionMarina Port Vell’s continued evolution is due to its significant investment programme designed to meet the ever-changing demands of the global superyacht fleet. Between 2021 and 2024, more than €20 million was invested in transforming the marina’s infrastructure, reinforcing its position as one of the Mediterranean’s leading superyacht destinations.Completed in July 2024, the redevelopment introduced 23 additional berths for superyachts up to 70-metres and ensured further integration of the marina with Barcelona’s iconic waterfront. The redevelopment also saw the reorganisation of the marina’s water surface, which has improved operational efficiency as well as environmental performance.Sustainability formed a central pillar of the marina’s redevelopment. The new state-of-the-art fuel supply system was introduced to improve both operational safety and environmental performance, completed by the availability of HVO renewable fuel to support yacht owners and captains who are seeking lower-emission alternatives.&nbsp;The marina’s 510-metre underground pipeline network, spanning Barceloneta Quay, Reloj Quay and T Dock, enables yachts to bunker directly alongside their berth. This aligns with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/393" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marina Port Vell (Company)">Marina Port Vell</a>’s sustainable practices, ensuring that vessels don’t need to relocate ensures environmental risks are kept to a minimum, as well as further enhancing the marina’s efficiency.One of the most recent additions is the underwater drone inspection service, providing efficient hull and mooring inspections without the need for more complex interventions. The technology supports preventative maintenance while improving operational planning and reducing downtime.The facilities Inward Proceeding Status offers clear financial advantages for non-EU yachts undergoing maintenance and repair in the Mediterranean. This supports more efficient operational and financial planning, making Marina Port Vell the homeport choice within the Mediterranean.&nbsp;The investments made by the marina reflect a continued push for growing to not just meet, but thrive in meeting the industry’s growing expectations. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293745/image/large-196ecf8fa65d59fbb74a28f5f2d4627c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293745">More than a superyacht destination: a place for captains &amp; crew to enjoyA successful homeport extends beyond the needs of the yacht itself, and recognising the importance of crew well-being, Marina Port Vell has worked hard to develop an environment that encourages both professional support and personal enjoyment.&nbsp;Through the establishment of the marina’s Crew Life programme, the captains and crew berthed became part of a larger community. Through weekly yoga sessions, various network opportunities and training initiatives, those staying in the marina have the opportunity to spend time connecting with fellow yachties whilst also growing their skillset and staying active. Additionally, the marina organises weekly social gatherings that centre around meaningful connection.The marina’s investment in crew well-being does not stop there: a carefully curated calendar of monthly events introduces the crews and captains of berthed yachts to the true Barcelona experience. Through wine tastings, gastronomic experiences, seasonal celebrations and cultural excursions across the city, berthing in Marina Port Vell is more than a homeport for superyachts, the marina becomes an exciting, adventurous home base for those captains and crew too.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399406/image/large-ad41e6575333d4528a4d713e6319af7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399406">A marina at the heart of Barcelona’s scenic waterfront&nbsp;Few marinas can claim such a close relationship to the city that surrounds them.
