In response to the growing global demand for superyacht berthing, D-Marin now offers over 1,000 specialized superyacht resources across its selection of premium marinas, making it the largest provider of superyacht services. With world-class facilities and exceptional experiences, D-Marin is well-positioned to accommodate the rising number of superyachts entering the market. Each berth is quickly filled, as captains and owners recognize D-Marin's premium offerings and unparalleled service.

According to BOAT International's Global Order Book, 1,138 superyachts over 24 metres in length are in build or on order for 2025, with 2,369 built or ordered in total across 2023 and 2024. To support this growth, D-Marin strategically added five new marinas in 2024, solidifying its status as the most trusted marina company in the Mediterranean and Gulf regions.

D-Marin's extensive berthing options cater to yachts ranging from 30m to 150m, offering flexibility for some of the world's largest vessels. The company maintains a high occupancy rate of 95%, with 700 superyachts on annual contracts, alongside thousands of transient yachts and charter vessels utilising D-Marin's marinas throughout the year. This ongoing demand highlights D-Marin's capacity to accommodate both permanent and visiting yachts while upholding its premium standards.

Oliver Dörschuck, CEO of D-Marin, stated: "The dynamic superyacht industry demands marinas that are not only adaptable but also visionary. Our relentless growth enables us to welcome the world's most prestigious yachts, offering bespoke solutions that meet the exacting needs of owners, captains, and charter companies. D-Marin's selection of premium marinas delivers unparalleled experiences, combining world-class services and state-of-the-art facilities designed to exceed the expectations of even the most discerning superyacht guests."

To further support the industry, D-Marin is proud to sponsor The Balearic Superyacht Forum, 29-30 April, bringing together global superyacht leaders, discussing the Mediterranean's role as a leading superyacht destination. D-Marin's Chief Commercial Officer, Dean Smith, will participate in high-level roundtable discussions, sharing D-Marin's vision for a more connected, sustainable and guest-centric future in yachting.

D-Marin's more than 1,000 specialised resources for superyachts span its Mediterranean and Gulf marinas, including premium locations along the French and Italian Rivieras. Six of its marinas are within a day's cruise of each other, enhancing its presence in top yachting destinations. Recent additions, Porto Mirabello in La Spezia and Camille Rayon on the Côte d'Azur, add 86 more berths to the luxury coastline.

With Italy producing over 50% of the world's superyachts, D-Marin's six Italian marinas play a key role in accommodating and supporting this growing fleet, providing high-capacity berths, expert services, and exceptional guest experiences tailored to the needs of superyacht owners, captains, and crew. Its strong partnership with Azimut|Benetti promotes nautical tourism and supports the broader yachting industry through joint operations in Valletta (Malta), Varazze, and Livorno.

Some of the world's most renowned superyachts have chosen D-Marin's services, including M/Y Opera, a 146.35m yacht built by Lürssen which docked at D-Marin Zea.
