EDITOR’S COMMENT

press release has landed on my desk from MDL Marinas announcing the launch of Current Compass, which delivers high-value, real-world data ‘Insights’ to marine industry stakeholders. The latest iteration of MDL’s successful ‘Insights’ report, Current Compass marks an evolution in the company’s analytics offering, providing actionable intelligence grounded in operational reality – not projections or assumptions.

For the past two years, MDL has produced an annual ‘Insights’ report shared with selected partners to help guide strategic decision-making. Now, with the introduction of Current Compass, this data-driven publication is available to purchase by all marine industry professionals.

Several subjects should be of interest to those operating in various sectors of the industry, particularly as there are growing economic and political uncertainties affecting leisure-based enterprises in 2026, and these are listed here.

Market transition: from volume to value – MDL’s latest Current Compass report highlights a shift in the UK marina market from volume to value, with boaters spending more on premium, experience-led services.

Seasonal trends: opportunities across the calendar –seasonal trends show strong Spring demand and Winter revenue stability, while Summer is beginning to rebound. Regional insights: Solent leads, South-West gains ground – regionally, the Solent continues to dominate, though the South-West is gaining momentum and the Thames and East Coast present untapped potential. Customer demographics: aging base, emerging opportunities – the customer base remains predominantly

over 55, but younger boaters represent a growing opportunity for more flexible, lifestyle-driven offerings. Boat types and spending patterns – motorboats lead in numbers, while demand for convenience and technical services remains strong across both motor and sail sectors. Unlike many traditional market reports based on surveys or estimations, the Current Compass Annual Report is derived from actual behavioural and operational data collected across MDL’s extensive marina network. The result is an unprecedented level of accuracy, reliability and relevance, offering a clear picture of what’s really happening in the UK’s boating sector.

Designed to support boat-builders, brokerages, marine service providers and sector investors, the Current Compass report identifies market shifts, customer behaviour trends and regional performance variations that can directly inform commercial strategy and investment planning.

Early recipients of MDL’s original insights work have already found value in the data – using it to better understand their customers, adjust offerings and optimise their operations. Tim Mayer, Sales and Marketing Director at MDL Marinas, said that Current Compass was created to meet the growing demand for accurate, meaningful insight in the marine sector, adding that businesses don’t need more noise, they need clarity.

Anniversary celebration at Hythe Marina Village

MDL Marinas has marked the 40th anniversary of its iconic Hythe Marina Village with a weekend of celebrations, bringing together berth-holders, residents and visitors to honour four decades of boating and waterfront living.

The festivities began on Saturday, 20 September, with a community hog roast, hosted by Hythe Marina Association. The ticketed event provided an opportunity for residents and friends of the marina to gather and celebrate this important milestone together.

The celebrations culminated the

following day, with the highlight of the weekend – a colourful Sail Past Spectacular. From 11 am to 4 pm, a parade of decorated boats set out in convoy from Hythe Marina, sailing a buoyed course in Southampton Water. Visitors enjoyed a commentary, prizes,

live music and a vibrant atmosphere on the waterfront, complete with food and drink stalls.

“Hythe Marina Village is such a unique and special part of MDL’s portfolio, and it was wonderful to celebrate its 40th anniversary with the

Major redevelopment in Ibiza

IGY Ibiza Marina, operated by Ocean Capital Partners (OCP), Grupo Empresas Matutes and Island Global Yachting (IGY), has completed a major redevelopment project aimed at integrating the marina with the city, providing direct shore power to docked vessels and officially opening a newly enhanced facility designed to deliver improved services to superyachts and their guests.

The project, which began in November last year, involved a fullscale upgrade of both land and sea infrastructure. A new berth layout was developed to accommodate vessels ranging from 20-150 metres in length, as well as cruise ships during part of the year.

A key element of the project, which cost nearly 5 million Euros, included structural improvements to the breakwater footbridge, enabling the port authority (Autoridad Portuaria de Baleares) to recover approximately 200 metres of berthing line previously unusable due to structural issues. This restoration will reopen a docking area for small cruise ships in the heart of the La Marina neighbourhood. This enhancement not only restores the port’s operational capacity, but also improves berth planning during peak season and helps relieve pressure on other docking areas. All nautical

services have been upgraded and a new customer service office has been opened to assist clients and captains.

In mid-February, the electrical interconnection process was launched, allowing vessels across the marina to access shore power. As part of this infrastructure upgrade, underground utility work was carried out in several city streets.

The completion of these works was marked by an inauguration event attended by institutional representatives, clients and local residents, underscoring IGY Ibiza Marina’s commitment to modernising the island’s nautical infrastructure.

people who make it so special – our berth-holders, residents and local community,” said Tim Mayer, MDL’s Sales and Marketing Director. “The success of the weekend reflects the spirit and vibrancy that has defined Hythe Marina since it first opened.”

Debbie Scott, Marina Manager at Hythe Marina Village, added: “A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We’re so grateful to all who attended and made the celebrations unforgettable. This anniversary has been a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the marina’s incredible history while looking forward to its exciting future”.

BIA highlights role of marinas

Australlia’s Boating Industry Association (BIA) has released its National Recreational Boating Statement, a landmark report that underscores the critical role of marine infrastructure in the nation’s thriving boating economy.

The report emphasises that a safe and enjoyable experience on the water is linked to the availability and condition of land-based facilities, such as boat ramps, jetties, marinas and boatyards. These facilities are essential for providing convenient and safe access for boaters of all ages and abilities, and are a key enabler for the entire sector.

While State government grant programs have led to significant improvements over the past decade, the statement highlights the continued need for investment to keep pace with growing participation rates and address ongoing maintenance needs.

Privately-operated marinas are identified as a crucial component of this infrastructure.

The BIA stresses the importance of governments partnering with the boating industry to not only deliver essential services, but also to enhance waterfront precincts, benefiting both the boating community and residents.

State-of-the-art marine fuelling system in Grenada

Camper & Nicholsons’ Port Louis Marina, in partnership with Sol Grenada Ltd, recently announced the official inauguration of a new, advanced marine fuelling system at Port Louis Marina in Grenada on 10 October.

This significant upgrade underscores a joint commitment to elevating the standard of marine services on the Caribbean island, providing a reliable, efficient and high-quality fuelling solution for the local and international yachting community. The new system is designed to meet the demands of modern superyachts and sailing vessels, reinforcing Grenada’s position as a premier cruising destination.

The launch ceremony bought

together key stakeholders and dignitaries to mark this milestone. The programme began with a welcome address and a formal blessing, followed by remarks from senior representatives of the partnering organisations.

The official proceedings culminated in a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, led by Hon. Lennox Andrews, Acting PM and Senior Government Representative. This was followed by a symbolic ‘mock fill’ demonstration, showcasing the operational readiness and efficiency of the new system. The event continued with an evening of entertainment and cocktails for guests.

“We are thrilled to launch this new fuelling facility in partnership with Sol,” said Zara Tremlett General

Manager of Port Louis Marina. “This investment is a cornerstone of our commitment to providing worldclass amenities at Port Louis Marina. It directly addresses the needs of the yachting sector, ensuring that captains and vessel-owners have access to top-tier fuel services, which is crucial for attracting and retaining high-quality marine traffic to our shores.”

Collin Francis, General Manager Sol Grenada Ltd added, “Sol is proud to be the fuel partner for this landmark project at Port Louis Marina. Our collaboration ensures that the marina is supplied with high-quality, reliable marine fuels, supported by our stringent safety and operational standards. This initiative aligns with our mission to power the Caribbean’s growth and

we are excited to contribute to the development of Grenada’s marine economy.”

The Grenada Tourism Authority views the development as a key enhancement to the island’s tourism infrastructure. “The yachting sector is a vital part of our tourism economy,” said Stacey Liburd, CEO of Grenada Tourism Authority. “This new, reliable fuelling system at Port Louis Marina makes Grenada a more attractive and convenient port of call, encouraging longer stays and increased spending within our local communities.”

Two new marinas for the Port of Dover

Significant work in the Port of Dover’s ambitious Dover Western Docks Revival (DWDR) project was carried out by Walcon Marine. The marina builder’s role was undertaken in two phases. The first was the installation of pontoons to accommodate berths for up to 250 boats in the outer harbour, which took place in 2024. The second phase involved the dredging of the adjacent Wellington Dock, followed by the installation of a new marina, which was completed this Summer.

The marina for Wellington Dock is the stand-out feature of the town’s waterfront transformation and was designed, built and installed by Walcon. The company’s aluminium System 2000 pontoons fitted with non-slip mesh decking were used for the walkways and finger pontoons. This delivered 135 new berths to complement others in the adjacent Outer Marina, taking the total number of new berths to nearly 400 across the site.

Walcon’s Road Transportable

Rig played a significant role due to its ability to access difficult sites. Its tasks included the removal and repositioning of the existing piles, followed by the installation of the new pontoons. The project

included extensive reconfiguration of the Outer Marina, as well as the removal of old pontoons and services, and the installation of new pontoons, access bridges, bridgeheads and the mechanical

and electrical systems.

With the Port of Dover being a highly sensitive historic environment, the DWDR scheme was designed to minimise the loss of historic character, which included the retention of the Wellington Dock with a new navigable channel connecting it to the new marina. Specialist heritage experts were involved from the beginning to oversee the excavations and ensure that investigations were conducted in a controlled environment. The DWDR is a one-off opportunity for the regeneration of Dover, bringing new investment into the area. With UK Government planning approval and supported by a mix of private finance and European Union grant funding, the project is transforming the waterfront to ultimately attract a host of leisure facilities, as well as a new cargo terminal and distribution centre. It is the single biggest investment ever undertaken by the Port of Dover with approximately £250 million committed for its delivery.

The value of marinas, boatyards and marine infrastructure

The National Recreational Boating Statement (2025) published by Australia’s Boating Industry Association highlighted the critical role of boating infrastructure in supporting a safe and thriving marine industry. While all facilities are important, the value of privately-operated marinas and boatyards cannot be overstated as they make a signiﬁcant contribution to boating industry overall impact of more than $10 billion.

The National Recreational Boating Statement concluded that there needs to be a national stocktake to assess the capacity, condition and accessibility of boating infrastructure facilities, providing key insights for future investment and development strategies.

Toker Gürer, General Manager of Çeşme Marina, has reported that his marina has achieved a major sustainability milestone by securing the International Renewable Energy Certiﬁcate (I-REC).

What are ‘Blue Zones’?

By Dan Natchez, CMP*

When someone familiar with our column suggested The Blue Zone as a topic, I had no idea what the term referred to. My first thought was that the title suggested a piece about blue water boating and you certainly could take it that way, but after a quick search, I discovered something fascinating. According to Google’s AI Overview, ‘Blue Zones’ are regions where people consistently live longer, healthier lives. These areas are marked by

a combination of lifestyle factors, diet and strong social connections. Intrigued, I dived deeper into the concept and learned that the term ‘Blue Zone’ is actually a trademark, referring to five specific areas of the world where people more frequently live, and live well, past 80 years of age, with many reaching 100 or beyond.

So how does this relate to recreational boating and marinas? Well, it turns out that four out of the five official Blue Zones are

surrounded by water: the islands of Ikaria, Greece, and Sardinia, Italy, in the Mediterranean; and the island of Okinawa, Japan, and the Nicoya peninsula of Costa Rica on opposite sides of the Pacific. Just a coincidence? I think not!

For years, I have said that being on or even just near the water has a certain magic about it. It feels mystical, soothing and has an undeniable impact on our quality of life. The calming sound of water, the breeze on your face and the rhythm

of a boat gently cutting through the waves – they all come together to create a sensory experience unlike any other. In one popular commercial, rainwater is used as a calming influence, as the natural world is often utilised to evoke a sense of peace. Similarly, numerous advertisements intentionally use water settings, whether it be a serene lake or the crashing waves of the ocean, to subliminally influence the consumer. Clearly, water plays a role in both relaxation and rejuvenation,

but how does this fit into the larger picture of longevity, particularly in relation to the Blue Zones?

It turns out there are several key factors that contribute to longevity in Blue Zones, which include the following:

Physical Activity – inhabitants of Blue Zones tend to engage in regular, low-impact physical activity as a part of their daily routine, versus structured exercise regimes. Physical activity might include things like walking, gardening or even

motivated and connected to their community.

Social connections – longevity in Blue Zones is also closely linked to maintaining strong ties with family, friends and the community. People in these areas often live in environments that prioritise social interactions and a sense of belonging. Whether it’s gathering for meals, taking part in community events or simply spending time with loved ones, these social engagements promote a longer, healthier life.

Stress reduction – people in Blue Zones have a natural ability to manage stress, which is one of the most important aspects of maintaining health. Techniques like meditation, spending time with family, engaging in hobbies or recreational activities all play a significant role in managing life’s pressures.

Recreational boating can certainly contribute to these factors, offering a form of low-impact physical activity, a chance to find purpose, an opportunity to connect with loved ones, friends and others sharing the same activity, and a wonderful way to relieve stress!

Physical activity

swimming, all of which keep the body moving without the strain that often comes with more traditional exercise routines.

Sense of purpose – known as ‘kigai’ in Okinawa and ‘plan de vida’ in Nicoya, is central to the lives of Blue Zone residents. This translates to having a reason to wake up in the morning, a reason to keep going. People who have a strong sense of purpose live longer because they stay

a day trip on a lake or an extended voyage across the seas. The act of setting out on the water, whether to explore, relax, or engage in a hobby like fishing, gives people something to look forward to. In fact, many boaters create routines around their time on the water and this regular engagement with the boating lifestyle can instil a deep sense of purpose.

Social connections

Recreational boating is a great example of a low-impact activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether it’s fishing, sailing or piloting a powerboat, being out on the water requires a certain amount of movement, whether it’s the steering of the boat, casting the line or adjusting the sails, that engages the body in a mostly non-strenuous way. For those who want to make it more of a physical activity, watersports like waterskiing, wakeboarding, rowing or paddleboarding offer a chance to get the heart pumping and muscles moving. Even simply cruising or fishing from a boat involves a level of physical engagement that benefits the body, without putting undue stress on joints or muscles, making it ideal for a long, healthy life.

Sense of purpose

Boating can also provide a sense of purpose – one of the key elements for longevity in Blue Zones. Boating trips often involve long-term planning, whether it’s preparing for

More than that, boating fosters strong social connections. People often gather with friends and family to enjoy time on the water, whether it’s for a weekend getaway, a celebration or just an afternoon out. There’s a sense of camaraderie that comes with boating. It creates opportunities for bonding, with shared experiences of navigating waterways, making memories and sometimes even overcoming challenges like unpredictable weather or equipment malfunctions. These shared moments can build lasting friendships and deepen relationships, contributing to a person’s sense of belonging and emotional well-being.

Stress reduction

One of the most significant benefits of recreational boating is its ability to reduce stress. There’s something about being on the water – the fresh air, the sound of waves lapping against the boat and the rhythm of the journey – that naturally calms the mind and soothes the soul. Many people who engage in boating often talk about how it helps

them disconnect from their daily worries and the stress of life on land. Whether it’s a serene morning paddle in a kayak, a fishing trip on a tranquil lake or a leisurely sail, boating provides the perfect environment for stress management.

Marinas themselves can offer a sense of peace and tranquillity. These hubs of activity, often set in beautiful natural locations by the water, can serve as sanctuaries for boaters, offering a space where they can simply relax and unwind. I recall a time when my best friend, a true boating enthusiast, would spend hours at the marina when weather conditions were unsuitable for actual boating. He and his wife would sit on their boat, reading, talking or just enjoying the quiet solitude. For him, the marina was a place to recharge and reset, and it played a major part in his continued wellbeing.

The role of marinas

Marinas are much more than just parking lots for boats. As Neil Ross, co-founder of the International Marina Institute (now the Association of Marina Industries), once said, “Marinas are the conduit from the land into the water”. They are hubs for boating activity and serve as

gathering points for the boating community. Marinas promote a lifestyle that extends beyond simply owning a boat – they are central to fostering connections, building relationships and facilitating the recreational boating experience. These lifestyle-enhancing facilities are especially prominent in smaller, family-run marinas, where a more personal, community-oriented

approach to boating is often taken. Some of the most successful and profitable marina chains also understand this and focus on providing more than just a place to dock. They create environments that encourage social interaction, leisure and the joy of being on the water. Whether it’s through regattas, tournaments, customer appreciation days, social events, boating classes or

informal gatherings, marinas help to build a sense of community among boaters.

I believe this all helps explain why numerous types of boating are expanding. Specialty boats, such as those designed for wakeboarding and waterskiing, have been sold out in recent years, indicating a growing demand for fun, active boating experiences. Pontoon boating has

also surged in popularity, offering a more laid-back social experience. Even personal watercraft like kayaks, canoes and paddleboards are rapidly growing in popularity, with more people embracing these accessible ways to enjoy the water. Chartering and cruising have also seen tremendous growth, with boating trips extending from short day outings to weeks-long adventures that span local, regional and even

international waters. So, when you consider the factors that contribute to longevity in Blue Zones – physical activity, sense of

purpose, social connections and stress reduction – it’s pretty clear that recreational boating aligns perfectly with these principles. Marinas, as central hubs for the boating lifestyle, provide the perfect environment to foster these key elements of wellbeing. Whether you’re taking a leisurely boat ride, engaging in a fun watersport or simply enjoying the marina environment, the water offers a magical way to enhance your quality of life and promote longevity. The next time you find yourself out on the water, remember that you may just be adding years to your life, all while having a great time!

Upgraded pontoon decking at Farndon

In preparation for Farndon Marina’s acquisition by Tingdene Marinas, Dura Composites recently replaced the site’s ageing pontoon decking with its glass-reinforced polymer (GRP) solutions. With over 300 berths set in 25 acres of scenic countryside, Farndon Marina is a popular choice for mooring in the English Midlands. Situated within beautifully landscaped grounds along the banks of the River Trent, the marina marries a rich boating heritage with a commitment to modern standards.

Because the marina has always placed great emphasis on the importance of safety, durability and visual appeal, it was agreed that d² Dura Grating would be used to provide an attractive, anti-slip and sustainable solution. The traditional wooden decking was replaced with d² 23 mm and 30 mm Mini Mesh, supported by GRP box profile and bearers.

Dura Composites’ recyclable d² GRP products use a third less material without compromising on strength or performance, resulting in up to 33% less embodied carbon. By choosing

d² Dura Grating Mini Mesh for the pontoon upgrade at Farndon Marina, a saving of 37,704 kg of carbon was

achieved versus the standard GRP grating available elsewhere in the industry. That is the equivalent of 112 flights from London Heathrow to Dubai or 1,713 mature trees sequestering carbon for an entire year. The harsh conditions of marine applications were a key part of the decision-making process. The d² Dura Grating offers superior safety and durability compared to traditional materials like timber or steel. The non-corrosive, anti-slip GRP grating is specifically engineered to withstand harsh marine environments, maintaining performance even in wet, oily or icy conditions. Its high load capacity, superior impact resistance and proven long-term traction –showing only a 5% reduction in slip resistance after 1.1 million footfalls –make it ideal for pontoons, walkways and tidal access areas. This ensures year-round, reliable access with minimal maintenance.

Joanne Pillinger, Project Manager

The d² Grating is attractive, anti-slip and sustainable.

at Dura Composites, said: “Farndon Marina should be commended for championing sustainability and longevity with their decision to move away from traditional timber for this area of the marina.

“By future-proofing these pontoons with d² GRP materials from Dura, they’ve ensured the structures can withstand the harsh marine environment, while safeguarding visitors for years to come and

preventing the continual re-work that comes with using wood. In doing so, they’ve also achieved a major carbon saving and gained peace of mind that the materials are fully recyclable at the end of their decades of use.

“It’s a clear demonstration of their commitment to protecting both people and the planet.”

New lifting capacity for Peruvian marina

The Yacht Club Ancon in Lima, Peru, has recently upgraded its marina operation with a new Marine Travelift 35BFMII boat hoist. This machine replaces an older vintage Marine Travelift boat hoist, which has been in use at the Yacht Club for nearly 30 years. Although the older machine was still fully functional, the new boat hoist will provide greater capabilities and efficiencies for sailors cruising the long coastline of Peru.

Founded in 1950, the Yacht Club Ancon became a Marine Travelift customer with the purchase of its first mobile boat hoist in 1996, a 35BFM with 70,000 lb lifting capacity. The boat hoist has been an integral part of the Yacht Club’s aim to develop and sustain nautical sports and activities for their members, as well as members of other clubs along the Peruvian coast, which they have agreements with.

As demand increased and vessels got bigger, it became apparent that the Yacht Club would need a new machine to continue to best serve the members. The new 35BFMII model provides 77,000 lb lifting capacity, an increase of

7,000 lb compared to the older unit. “Until we received the new Marine Travelift we had limited lifting capacity, which only allowed us to handle a certain percentage

of vessels,” said Samuel Ibarra, Operations Manager at Yacht Club Ancon. He added, “Our handling capacity has increased considerably, allowing us

to handle a wide variety of vessels”.

In addition to the increased capacity, the Yacht Club also outfitted its new mobile boat hoist with two-speed hoists, a jib crane and sailboat top beam extension. These options all increase operational efficiency when handling sailing boats, which make up a large contingent of the vessels it handles. “We have several sailboats in our anchorage area, so decided to implement the jib crane for mast removal and installation services”, confirmed Ibarra. “We have already used it several times and it has proven to be a major operational advantage.”

The Yacht Club is very proud of the new machine and the increased capabilities it provides. It now has the ability to offer members a fully equipped lifting system, which the addition of the jib crane helps them do. The new boat hoist, together with all its innovative features, has also positioned Yacht Club Ancon as a national benchmark in Peru, boasting the most modern lifting system in the country.

Building on boat show momentum at Metstrade

The Autumn boat show season is a critical indicator of the current state of the market and its future outlook. Metstrade at RAI Amsterdam from 18-20 November serves as a key moment for many industry stakeholders to reflect and regroup after a busy season of international boat shows when there is a clear picture of order book volume and boat-builders are ready to start exploring new partnerships and innovations.

Members of the Metstrade team travelled to many of the consumer shows in September. Their verdict – a strong boat show season with a consistent flow of quality audience and clear sparks of optimism.

Consumer confidence

The first of the September shows the team attended was Hiswa Te Water, the Dutch in-water boat show, which reported record-breaking visitor numbers and a bigger international appeal. This was a positive start to the show season and optimism could be felt as they walked the pontoons and met with boatbuilders anticipating a rise in orders. It was clear that consumer confidence at this show was strong, and they were pleased to see this trend across Cannes, Southampton and Genoa boat shows too. This is a very important indicator as activity at the boat shows drives the entire industry and influences how boatbuilders and suppliers plan for the coming season.

Cannes Yachting Festival has always been a busy show, with an international audience, and it is especially influential in the luxury segment, which is currently thriving. There was a high-level of innovation on display at the show through equipment and materials, including electrification and hybrid systems – all of which the team looks forward to seeing at Metstrade.

With the Italian Marine Industry Association reporting a record turnover of €8.60 billion for the country’s marine industry, Genoa Boat Show was an opportunity to understand why the leisure marine industry is so strong in the region. For those who didn’t attend Genoa, Metstrade’s Italian pavilion is where to discover leading innovators from Italy and find inspiration for future products.

The Southampton and Genoa boat shows are similar in the sense that both are regional shows and most exhibitors are domestic with a handful of international brands. These shows also have a strong mix between vessels and equipment.

Demand for luxury

One key trend from across all the shows was that exhibitors all brought their top-of-the-range products and it was evident the demand for luxury was the most prominent. It was a clear indication that builders are pursuing higherbudget buyers, but there is still an essential need to provide entry-level boats to engage with new potential boaters.

The strength of the Autumn consumer shows extends to the marina sector as well, with the ICOMIA World Marinas Conference relocating to a new venue to accommodate the overwhelming demand for registrations.

Eager

So, what’s next, after the closure of these shows? There should be a clear picture of order intake and production needs. Now is the time to connect buyers with the best innovations to add value to new boats and the marinas to accommodate them, whilst enabling collaboration with partners from all corners of the world.

Innovation and collaboration

For visitors to Metstrade, every important innovation and product is available to provide the critical differentiation for new projects, whilst exhibitors have access to relevant buyers for new routes of collaboration. Spending more time at Metstrade to maximise every opportunity and to gain new industry insights will be time well spent.

The extensive content programme across five stages is also designed to carry on the conversations from these consumer shows and provide the knowledge and inspiration for future growth. It was exciting to see and hear collaborations between domestic businesses at the boat shows For those seeking to engage with an international audience, Metstrade is where to find over 135 nationalities to network with under one roof whilst gaining insights and a clear view of the global market.

Marina Göcek, Turkey

One of three Turkish D-Marin facilities, the 388-berth Marina Göcek in the Gulf of Fethiye is the safest natural marina in the country and is recommended for superyachts and vessels with deeper drafts. It is possible to reach Gocek within 20 minutes from Dalaman International Airport by transfer vehicles, taxis or Airport-Fethiye buses.

Yachts of 40-50 metres can be berthed at any hour with the support of the marina’s experienced dockhands. It is also possible to moor superyachts up to 85 metres with a rapid set-up.

Energy and water supplies can be accessed without the need to contact the front office. D-Marin’s smart pedestals enable boaters to easily monitor their use of electricity, which is available up to 250 amps,

and water consumption, view bills and stay connected to the marina. By managing these utilities directly through the D-Marin App, boaters can save time to enjoy the amenities at the marina and sample the attractions of the Göcek area.

This luxury marina offers high quality showers and toilets, pumpout services for black water, garbage collection, oil disposal services, a fuel supply and 24/7 security by professional guards and CCTV cameras.

When necessary, boats are moved with environmentally-friendly electric vehicles and there is also a 75 tonne boat hoist available if a haul-out is required.

At Göcek bazaar, it is possible to buy natural products of local artisans, as well as premium brands. In addition, there are various

chandlery shops to meet a yacht’s technical needs.

The marina provides a comprehensive range of deluxe amenities, including: The Blue Point Beach Club for day-long refreshments and light meals with scenic sea views; Sailor’s Gastropub

for casual snacks in a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere; and D-SPA at the D-Resort Göcek, which offers a full menu of spa treatments for peace and relaxation.

Additions to carbon vent filter range

Five larger in-line carbon vent filters are now available in the Microvent range from LeeSan. For many years, the MicroVent 1.5-inch filter has been the accepted option for odour eliminating tank venting. However, over the past few years, there has been an increasing demand for a similar product in larger sizes. In response to this, Leesan has introduced new 2-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch versions.

These in-line filters utilise activated charcoal to ensure that unpleasant odours from sewage tanks are swiftly neutralised. The carbon is made of high standard Taixia anthracite, processed through grinding, mixture, extrusion, carbonisation and steam activation, etc. Due to the high mechanical hardness, highly developed porous structure and huge specific surface area, it can be widely used in both gas-phase and fluid-phase purification and absorption, catalyst carriers.

The carbon granules are easily replaced. Frequency for this will depend on several factors,

the main two being the amount of use that a toilet/tank has and the ambient temperature. Typically, this needs to be done every year.

Three smart pedestals from Turkey

The Turkish manufacturer of the Barbarossa Una, Duo and Tria smart pedestals has developed special software, which offers marina management features such as failure notification, consumption reports, remote communication and independent operation. Made from High density polyethylene, the range is IP67 protected.

The Una has safety sockets from 16-630A in addition to standard features, the Duo is also

equipped with fuse access from the front panel in accordance with IP67 standards and, due to a secure interlock system, the Tria provides access to a fuse from the socket.

The pedestals each measure 450 x 290 x 1,200 mm.

Alewijnse’s Vilanova service hub exceeds expectations

Yacht owners and managers are increasingly choosing the new service hub operated by Alewijnse at its Vilanova i la Geltrú site in Spain, which has exceeded expectations. This success looks set to continue with the recent appointment of Alexander Plishkin, a seasoned professional with a strong reputation in the yachting industry, as the new Site Manager.

“The demand for service and refits in the yacht sector is growing rapidly,” said Account Manager Marcel de Vree. “Owners are looking for partners with expertise in electrification, automation and other modern technologies such as AV, navigation and communication systems.

“Our new Spanish service hub

at Pendennis Vilanova in the port city of Vilanova i la Geltrú, South-West of Barcelona, is ideal for this. The Mediterranean is a popular destination for many superyachts seeking specialised services and facilities. Alewijnse can deliver high-end electrical services and consultancy on board both motor and sailing yachts, in collaboration with Pendennis Vilanova.”

Maurice Vlaming, Service Manager at Alewijnse, added: “Our presence in Spain allows us to respond more quickly and efficiently. Our service now covers the entire Eastern coast of Spain, from Barcelona to Malaga, with an additional hub in Palma de Mallorca. Together, these Mediterranean locations form a strategic extension of our service sites in The Netherlands

and Vietnam”.

With the arrival of Alexander Plishkin as Site Manager earlier this year, Alewijnse has enhanced its expertise in electrical engineering and automation.

“With 25 years of experience in the maritime industry, I have built an extensive network. I know many ships, ship-owners and shipyards, and I am well-versed in all types of electrical systems, from power management and alarm monitoring to bridge systems, navigation, communication, propulsion and all other onboard electrical installations.

“I look forward to further strengthening our service activities in this region. We work closely with our project location in La Ciotat in Southern France for electrical service and with

our team in Palma de Mallorca for specialised navigation and communication needs of yachts and sailing vessels. Our teams are always ready to step in with additional capacity and to deliver the required expertise and experience.”

Alexander Plishkin is passionate about training young talent from the region and aims to develop them into independent service engineers, who can work on all types of vessels over the next five to ten years, “This way,” he concluded, “we will contribute to both Alewijnse’s growth and bring new skills to communities”.

Slew crane to save space

Aslew crane is an alternative to a boat hoist as it takes up much less space and also requires lower investment as there is no need to create a lifting dock. The combination of a column slewing crane with a Roodberg transport trailer ensures full utilisation of the available space in a marina boatyard.

The SPC30-4E crane is electricallypowered and therefore 100% environmentally-friendly. Once installed, its operation is easy to learn, especially with the ergonomicallydesigned radio remote control. It can rotate an unlimited 360 degrees, which makes it possible to position a boat in any desired location, and it needs only one person to lift boats in and out of the water.

All components inside the crane are easily accessible.

Durability, long life span and low maintenance costs are an important principle for all Roodberg products and all components inside the crane are easily accessible. This is achieved by applying high quality materials, such as stainless steel guide strips, hot dip galvanised fasteners and the use of stainless steel electrical cabinets with stand heating, as well as a very high quality two-component paint system where hollow spaces are sealed and parts are fabricateded with curves for optimal edge coverage.

The SPC’s four lifting points guarantee enhanced control over the boat being lifted, even in windy conditions Roodberg info@roodberg.com www.roodberg.com

Self-propelled boat handling trailer

Due to its tridem configuration, the Boat Lift BL580MA selfpropelled trailer enables easy handling of boats with high overall dimensions, ensuring optimal exploitation of time and available space in the boatyard or marina.

The tridem special application involves the combination of two motorised platforms and a boat trailer. The former have a capacity of 140 tons each and are equipped with retractable hydraulic struts to maintain keel support during transport. The latter, with a capacity of 300 tons, is composed of two beams with fixed hydraulic supports. The three units are synchronised and remotely managed by a single radio control, ensuring maximum

Remy Millott appointed to MB92 Group

The MB92 Group has announced the appointment of Remy Millott, CEO of GYG Ltd, to its Board of Directors as a non-executive member. He will retain his current role at GYG, which was acquired by MB92 earlier this year. With over 40 years of experience in the superyacht industry and a strong track record of international business development, Remy brings valuable

insight to MB92 Group. His in-depth understanding and knowledge of the sector and its key strategic stakeholders will support the Board, Executive Committee and Senior Management as the Group continues to grow and evolve.

Commenting on his appointment, Remy Millott said: “I’m pleased to take on this new role and to continue

working closely with the wider MB92 Group. There’s a lot we can achieve together, and I’m committed to supporting the team’s efforts as the Group evolves”.

Pepe García-Aubert, Chairman of the MB92 Group, added: “Remy’s valuable insight into the sector and close ties with the Group will be instrumental as we move forward.

safety during handling operations.

The electronic Dynamic Steering Control (DSC) ensures optimal manoeuvrability in any condition. Because of the electronic management of steering control, it is possible to shift the rotation centre among the axles, thus obtaining a variable steering angle around obstacles and through tight spaces.

Precise control of steering results in maximum ease of use, a reduction in the number of manoeuvres and space optimisation, as well as a more profitable management of boat storage areas.

We’re delighted to count on his support in shaping the next phase of our development”.

Same venue for Thailand International Boat Show

avid Hayes, CEO, JAND Events, which organises the Thailand International Boat Show, has announced that the event’s location remains unchanged for 2026. He told Marina Industry, “We made a strategic decision this year to move the event to Phuket Yacht Haven Marina and that decision paid off. With more space, we were able to expand the show both in-thewater and onshore, as well as offer a more engaging visitor experience and the feedback from both exhibitors and visitors has been extremely positive.

“We are delighted to confirm that we will remain at Phuket Yacht Haven Marina for 2026 and beyond, and we will work closely with the marina team to build on this year’s success to create an even bigger and better show for all next year.”

Following discussions with exhibitors and industry stakeholders, the dates for 2026 will be moved one week later to 15-18 January. This will avoid the peak season for boat use, give exhibitors more time to prepare post New Year and enable brokers to display more and bigger boats.

Building on the past three years of success, the

organisers are setting ambitious goals for 2026, which include attracting more than 70 boats, increasing the superyacht presence, growing the onshore displays and developing new and interactive visitor experiences, all while creating a sustainable show.

Complementing the show is the Thailand Yachting Conference, which will be held one day prior on 14 January and will again attract industry leaders, government officials, educators and yachting enthusiasts with a packed agenda of expert-led sessions covering topics of national and international interest. “This isn’t just about putting on a show – it’s about creating a platform for real growth and collaboration in the leisure marine industry across the region,” added Hayes.

By combining luxury and lifestyle with real-world industry insights, the event will continue to position Thailand as a leader in the Asian yachting scene and a must-attend event on the global yachting calendar.
