D-Marin has completed an €8.5 million upgrade of its Gouvia Marina in Corfu, increasing capacity and enhancing operational efficiency.
The marina operator says the upgrade reflects its long-term vision to elevate the yachting experience, while reinforcing the marina as an open and active space for both visitors and the local community.
A total of 104 new berths have been created for vessels of up to 50 metres, supported by new parking areas and an additional 6,000sqm of onshore dry storage space.
The waterfront has been pedestrianised, the internal road network resurfaced and rest room and shower facilities renovated.
Landscape redevelopment was also carried out, with more than 2,000 new trees and plants planted.
Complete transformation
A newly-developed playground and amphitheatre will be used to host concerts, cultural events and open-air cinema nights.
“The upgrade of Gouvia Marina goes far beyond infrastructure,” said Ioannis Koutsodontis, regional director of D-Marin Greece.
“It is a complete transformation that combines construction excellence, technological innovation and sustainability, while creating a premium destination that is open, vibrant and closely connected to the local community of Corfu.”
The redevelopment has also introduced new digital capability, with the installation of smart pedestals at every berth, enabling remote management of electricity and water consumption via D-Marin’s mobile application.
In parallel, the marina’s digital infrastructure was fully upgraded, including enhanced Wi-Fi coverage throughout all areas.
Environmental initiatives
In addition, the marina now features high-pressure water filtration systems, advanced fire detection and emergency alarm systems and low-energy LED lighting.
As part of the wider redevelopment, D-Marin has completed its first on-site solar power installation at the marina.
The 100kW photovoltaic system is expected to generate approximately 167MWh of clean electricity annually, covering around 20% of the marina’s operational electricity demand.
The redevelopment was supported through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan ‘Greece 2.0’, funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
