D-Marin to manage new Med-style marina

UAE: D-Marin, in partnership with Dubai Holding, has signed an agreement to operate Port De La Mer in Dubai, a new Mediterranean-inspired marina at the tip of the northern peninsula of La Mer.

Positioned within a unique island retreat, Port De La Mer benefits from premium dining, shopping, entertainment, leisure and hospitality amenities. Phase one opened in October with 32 berths for yachts up to 40m (131ft) in length, with plans to extend to 160 berths for yachts up to 80m (262ft) in coming years.
“Port De La Mer sets new standards for what is expected from a marina,” says Selcuk Balci, managing director of D-Marin Dubai. “The entire project is inspired by the Mediterranean including the residential communities, recreational areas and the marina itself. It is a truly unique marina for yacht owners in Dubai. We look forward to working in partnership with Dubai Holdings whilst showcasing the highest standard of marina experiences and innovations.”
Khalid Al Malik, managing director of Dubai Holding, added: “Port De La Mer represents a strategic milestone in our long term vision to position Dubai as a premier global leisure and tourism destination. It will be added to the current marinas in our key waterfront destinations, including Jaddaf Waterfront, Marasi Bay and Marina, Al Seef Dubai and Marsa Al Arab, setting a new benchmark for luxury marinas worldwide.”
