D-Marin acquires Marina Genova, with 450 berths

D-Marin, a company based in Athens and controlled by the French private equity fund Infravia Capital Partners, has announced the acquisition of Marina Genova, a marina situated next to the airport in the capital of Liguria, with over 450 berths for boats and yachts ranging from 8 to 130 metres in length, of which more than 100 are reserved for superyachts over 24 metres in length. Four basins and deep-water moorings make the facility a well-established base for large yachts and their crews. The area also offers over a thousand parking spaces, restaurants, a boutique hotel and services for yacht owners, guests and crews.

Established in the early 2000s by the entrepreneur Pino Rasero, Marina Genova had, until now, been controlled by Società Sviluppo Porti. The facility offers 24-hour mooring assistance, has a refuelling quay over 150 metres long and is equipped with a shipyard area, which includes a crane with a lifting capacity of up to 100 tonnes, workshops and dry storage facilities. In addition, maintenance, refit, provisioning, yacht management and nautical assistance services are provided on-site by specialist partners.

Thanks to this transaction, D-Marin has increased the number of marinas in the group to 30, spread across nine countries. In Italia, the network now comprises 10 marinas, four of which were acquired in 2026: Marina Genova in Liguria, Marina di Olbia and Molo Brin in Sardinia, and Porto San Rocco in Muggia (Trieste).

“Marina Genova,” says Oliver Dörschuck, CEO of D-Marin, “combines mooring facilities, technical services and an experienced maritime community – all essential elements for meeting the needs of superyacht owners and crews. Its location also provides easy access to some of the Mediterranean’s most popular sailing destinations, such as Portofino, Portovenere, Sardinia and the Côte d’Azur. We are delighted to be working with the local team and to further enhance the marina’s well-established reputation.”

The addition of this small Ligurian marina, the CEO goes on to explain, complements D-Marin’s presence in Liguria, Tuscany, Sardinia and along the Adriatic coast, “offering customers further choice when planning their sailing itineraries in Italia and the rest of the Mediterranean”. The completion of the transaction remains, however, subject to the necessary authorisations being granted by the relevant authorities. For this transaction, D-Marin was assisted by Livingstone, acting as financial adviser, and the law firm Latham & Watkins, for legal and contractual matters.
