Marine operator D-Marin has expanded its presence in Europe winning a tender to develop and operate its first French marina.
The Camille Rayon marina in the Côte d’Azur has 841 berths and caters to boats ranging from 6 meters up to 75-meter mega yachts.
The marina was built in 1989 and offers proximity to destinations including the Lérins Islands, the Bay of Billionaires, the red cliffs, and the Massif de l’Esterel.
D-Marin plans to significantly enhance the marina with a 52 million Euro investment over 25 years in its facilities and renovation.
D-Marin has enlisted the expertise of architect Rudy Ricciotti, Bouygues Construction, and Arcadis for the design office. The shipyard operations will be managed by MB92, a leading superyacht refit, repair, and maintenance company.
“We are delighted to enter the French market with the beautiful Camille Rayon marina,” said Oliver Dörschuck, CEO of D-Marin.
Welcoming Camille Rayon marks another milestone for D-Marin as our first marina in France.

“D-Marin has experienced strong growth in recent years, and we look forward to expanding our network of high-end, fully connected and environmentally friendly marinas to more destinations.”
Corinne Reynaud, D-Marin’s CFO and president of D-Marin France added: “Welcoming Camille Rayon marks another milestone for D-Marin as our first marina in France.
“We are thrilled by the decision from the elected officials within the municipal council. It’s paramount for us to establish our proven approach to the environment, sustainability and governance and work in partnership with the local community and stakeholders. This opens a new page in the history of Camille Rayon marina.”
The location of Camille Rayon offers D-Marin customers an additional marina destination close to its Italian marinas, including D-Marin’s newly acquired marinas in the Liguria region of Italy – Marina degli Aregai and Marina di San Lorenzo.
Camille Rayon marina offers a range of berthing conveniences, maintenance and repair services, as well as superb leisure facilities.
D-Marin now operates a network of 27 marinas with nearly 14,000 berths, 3,000 boat berths in its shipyards and 86,000m2 of commercial space.
