Marina operator and owner D-Marin has acquired Olbia Marina in Sardinia.
The acquisition comprises the marina assets of Marina di Olbia Yacht Service (MOYS) and Molo Brin and makes Italy the company’s largest regional portfolio.
The two assets are both located in the Port of Olbia on the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, and operate in close proximity.
The marina offers 270 berths for vessels up to 150 metres with a maximum draught of 5.2 metres and a 200-metre fuel dock, capable of refuelling up to seven yachts simultaneously.
With its location a few minutes Olbia Costa Smeralda International Airport, the ferry terminal and the Olbia city centre, the marina offers easy accessibility for yacht owners and crew.
It also serves as a gateway to some of the Mediterranean’s key cruising destinations, including the Costa Smeralda, the Tavolara Marine Protected Area, the La Maddalena Archipelago and nearby Corsica.
Important yachting gateway
The addition of Olbia to D-Marin’s portfolio creates a ‘golden triangle’ of D-Marin destinations connecting the French Riviera, mainland Italy and Sardinia with Camille Rayon on the Côte d’Azur and D-Marin’s Ligurian and Tuscan marinas (Marina degli Aregai, Marina di San Lorenzo, Marina di Varazze, Porto Mirabello and Marina di Livorno).
“Olbia and Molo Brin represent one of the Mediterranean’s most important gateways for yachting,” said Oliver Dörschuck, CEO of D-Marin.
“Their scale, location and infrastructure make them a natural fit for D-Marin and we see significant opportunity to bring our operational expertise, digital innovation and service philosophy to what are already two very well-regarded destinations.
“This acquisition builds on a period of sustained and strategic expansion for D-Marin across the Mediterranean.”
D-Marin now manages 27 marinas across nine countries, serving more than 50,000 customers annually with more than 14,000 berths, including more than 1,000 dedicated to superyachts.
