D-Marin Dubai announced that it has begun managing operations of Al Seef, Marasi and Jaddaf Waterfront marinas in Dubai.

D-Marin is a joint venture between Meraas, Dubai Holding and D-Marin, one of the largest marina chains in the Eastern Mediterranean. As a result of the joint venture, D-Marin has expanded its marina network and reach to 14 marinas in five countries.

The project will mark the first step in a mission to turn Dubai into an international destination of preference for luxury yacht owners.

D-Marin Dubai was established at the end of 2018 to meet the growing demand for the development and management of marinas in the Gulf region. The company will manage and operate the existing and future marinas being developed by Meraas and Dubai Holding, as well by third parties – overall, D-Marin Dubai is expected to manage and operate more than 1,600 berths.

Besides managing marinas, D-Marin will provide technical consultancy to Meraas’ projects at Port de La Mer and Dubai Harbor, the only yachting community hub in the Middle East. It will also offer the same services at Marsa Al Arab marinas.
