Yacht Infrastructure Summit to be organised by SuperYacht Times and Marina World

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. At-berth refuelling enables yachts to refuel without relocation, offering smooth operations and time efficiency to vessels.&nbsp;Another standout feature of the port is the high security standards. Fully compliant with ISPS regulations, ensuring maximum safety, confidentiality and peace of mind for both vessels and guests. 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.

D-Marin completes €8.5 million Gouvia Marina upgrade in Corfu

An international consortium, Team Perry’s, has been selected as the successful bidder in the City of Yokosuka’s tender for the development and management of the new Uraga Marina, located south of Tokyo.Led by the Japanese firm Index Consulting, the consortium includes Spanish company Ocean Capital Partners (OCP), alongside Daiwa Lease, SMFL, Keikyu Railway and Etortech Consulting, bringing together expertise across development, financing, infrastructure and operations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389819/image/large-fc57859063702ca7a7d76c592d4d9d41.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389819">The award was formalised through a tripartite agreement between Team Perry’s, the City of Yokosuka and Sumitomo Heavy Industries. With an operating period of up to 50 years, the project is expected to rank among the more significant recreational marina developments in Japan.Following the signing of the agreement on 30 March 2026, the project will now move into the executive design and operational planning phase, with the consortium working alongside Japanese authorities on its development.The master plan for Uraga Marina has been designed by architect Kengo Kuma. The project is intended to deliver a high-end marina facility that integrates architectural design with its surrounding environment and maritime use, while also supporting the development of superyacht infrastructure in Japan.Within the consortium, Ocean Infrastructures Management, the consulting subsidiary of Ocean Capital Partners, will be responsible for operational planning and the overall management of the marina.Commenting on the development, José Luis Almazán, CEO of Ocean Capital Partners, said the project reflects the consortium’s ability to combine international and local expertise while adapting to Japan’s regulatory and business environment.Located on the Miura Peninsula, Uraga benefits from proximity to central Tokyo and established coastal infrastructure. The area is known for its sheltered waters and natural depth, characteristics that support its potential for accommodating larger vessels.The development also builds on Uraga’s historical role as a maritime hub. In the early 17th century, the port formed part of trade routes linking Spain with Acapulco and Manila.

In 2024, plans were announced for Kobe Marina, a purpose-built superyacht marina intended to support Kobe’s wider waterfront regeneration ambitions. The project is being developed by The Superyacht Base consortium and backed by seven principal investors: GLION Group, Creation, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6572" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Super Yacht Logistics Japan (Company)">SYL Monaco</a>, Plan Do See, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/119" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Horizon Yachts (Company)">Horizon Yachts</a>, Setouchi Brand Corporation, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6572" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Super Yacht Logistics Japan (Company)">SYL Japan</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/341862/image/large-0b9d79b72df17e306187ef1180a27d18.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/341862">The marina’s layout is designed to accommodate a range of yacht sizes, with dedicated berths for vessels between 20 and 35-metres, additional space planned for yachts in the 40 to 55-metre segment, and larger yachts able to berth at the quayside. The inside basin configuration allows vessels of up to 100 to 110-metres to lie alongside, while stern-to berthing is available for yachts of up to 80-metres. Outside the basin the marina allows the berthing of any size yacht with a 360-metre long quay.SuperYacht Times spoke with investment consortium member Nigel Beatty of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6572" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Super Yacht Logistics Japan (Company)">SYL Monaco</a>, one of the principal investors, to understand how the development has progressed since his presentation on Kobe Marina and Japan’s cruising grounds at last year’s Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit in Hong Kong.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/383497/image/large-1c4706f98362a209b62507d9b1adeb55.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/383497">Progress since the Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit 2025Since securing the bid ahead of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/270" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit - 2025 - 2nd Edition">summit</a>, the consortium has focused on design development and coordination with local stakeholders. Beatty said the process has involved extensive work with architects, Kobe City and the Port Authority to meet local requirements. “We’ve been working through the meetings and costing, what we need, how we need to build it, and whether Kobe City is happy with the design and aesthetics, including who will make and install everything; and ensuring the government is satisfied with the amount of green areas that we must include.”Beatty outlined that the development is progressing across two parallel streams: “You can break it into two parts: the quayside building infrastructure part and the marina part, which is pretty much ready to start work. We’ve got pilings ordered, with installation expected to begin around June 2026. The breakwater is already complete, and shore power, electrics and floating docks are planned to follow later in the year.”He also highlighted that the site already benefits from existing commercial dock infrastructure, and concrete quayside, with the 160-metre breakwater seawall finished in 2025, providing immediate alongside or stern to berthing capability as the dedicated marina works progress. “While we are happy for yachts to already berth on site, shore power and floating dock infrastructure are not yet in place.”&nbsp;Installation work is being handled by Japanese contractors, with local companies Kusakabe Construction Company and Kyoei Public Works Company involved in the piling works given their experience in coastal infrastructure. Tequanauts are constructing the floating docks and shore power pedestals. Beatty added that the contractor for the marina building, which is expected to include restaurants and shops, has yet to be selected; the designs, however, are all being handled by Tomohiro Hata Architect &amp; Associates.Recent progress has focused on finalising technical specifications, cost planning and supplier selection, alongside city-level review of design and aesthetic requirements, in line with Japan’s typically consultative approach to development.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/383468/image/large-2b1981d49f0e55f8c80833e79a54aa14.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/383468">Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/65118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="A new chapter for Asia: Japan’s rise as a cruising destination (2026-01-09 16:15:00 +0100)">A new chapter for Asia: Japan’s rise as a cruising destination</a> Implications for Kobe and Japan as a yachting destinationKobe Marina is intended to strengthen Japan’s appeal as a cruising destination by providing a dedicated base for visiting large yachts in a market where purpose-built infrastructure has historically been limited. Beatty highlighted the marina’s city-centre location as a key advantage, noting that “everything’s a walking distance”, with “five minutes’ walk and you run into shops and boutiques and restaurants.”He added that downtown Kobe already offers a range of very high-end retail and hospitality within close proximity of the waterfront. While the consortium expects some retail and food and beverage outlets to form part of the marina’s future offering, Beatty suggested it would remain selective: “We’re only going to have a few shops in the marina, although we will have one very nice restaurant to be developed by Plan-Do-See (one of the consortium members) and some other café style coffee shops, wine bars and more.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/383465/image/large-3a473d24be1a565e6407c5313fcc5cdd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/383465">However, Beatty acknowledged that destination readiness extends beyond berthing alone. While maintenance support is available nearby, including a yacht-focused facility in Himeji, around 55-kilometres from Kobe, that can accommodate vessels of up to around 35-metres, he noted that “the yards in Japan, unless you bring people in from outside, are not geared up for a full refit as we would understand it in Europe or the US.” Beatty suggested that this limitation does not necessarily affect cruising activity, as routine maintenance work can still be carried out locally, including bottom painting, five-year surveys, HVAC and refrigeration servicing, electrical works and metal fabrication. He added that dry dock capacity is available for a range of yacht sizes, although these facilities are often busy, making advance planning important.Beyond the immediate waterfront, Beatty argued that the development could support efforts to reposition Japan as a cruising destination for international yachts. “The cruising potential in Japan is incredible,” he said, pointing to the diversity of cruising areas and the scale of the coastline as factors that could encourage repeat visitation. He also highlighted Kobe’s accessibility, describing it as close to the geographical centre of Japan and supported by major transport links, including three airports and high-speed rail connections.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/383466/image/large-995d5873208c4fea803b97006850f733.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/383466">For Beatty, the marina’s location within downtown Kobe is central to its appeal. “We don’t want a boat parking lot,” he said. “We want a vibrant destination marina where superyachts can stay as long as they want, weeks, months, years.” He added that the marina intends to offer berth leases for larger yachts, drawing comparisons with long-term arrangements commonly seen in parts of the Mediterranean.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/341863/image/large-fc2f7344eb9ffc8ef4fb0d9aa7bf0f7e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/341863">Path to operational readinessPiling installation is expected to begin around June, with shore power and floating dock infrastructure scheduled to follow later in 2026. Beatty indicated that the marina remains targeted to be fully operational in early 2027, while the marina building may follow later as plans for the onshore facilities are finalised.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382114/image/large-baf3ecfb0e038e562c1abbcc141260e6.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382114"> Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit 2026Following two successful editions in Hong Kong, the <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/events/asia-pacific-superyacht-summit-2026-3rd-edition" target="_blank">Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit</a> will move to Japan in 2026.

The authority is expected to consider the request as part of its board meeting.According to Spanish newspaper Faro de Vigo, the likely buyer is Oyster Ocean LLC, a Delaware-registered company established in January 2026 and reportedly part of a larger US industrial conglomerate. The transaction would reportedly be completed through the recently incorporated Spanish company Océano de Ostras SL, although the sale has not yet been finalised.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4624" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metalships & Docks S.A.

In 2008, Metalships attracted interest from a Miami-based investment group led by Galician businessman Mario Pérez Rivera in a deal reportedly valued at €60 million. In 2015, China Sonangol International subsidiary CS Europe Investment acquired a stake in the company before ownership returned to Galician hands two years later.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400879/image/large-3a4d237c29da2ec97f5badbfe4a2fa88.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400879"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4624" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metalships & Docks S.A.
