Suggestions for future steps
We did a lot of control on print and web articles - even in
the past months - and we realise that D-Marin, even with
normal press bulletins you mentioned does not appear so
much if not very few. What so we suggest is to better
control the normal communication to let it be more regular
even if "normal", even if seems to be poor. We suggest to
set up regular based editorial update - every 20 days - on
what's up D-Marin and distribute over our 3,500 editors
mailing lists. This is the only way to build a repetitive
image of D-Marin. I'm sure that after 4-6 months that
editors are in that loop they can react positively to DMarin messages. With such a kind of approach we can assume
to
get
around
200-300
articles
per
year. Regular
communication is the base to develop stronger and stronger
messages. PR needs time.

D-Marin, le nuove offerte per gli ormeggi tra

Navigare, Porti, PORTI E CROCIERE | Maselli | ottobre 31, 2013 11:31 am
Istanbul, Turchia- Forte dei suoi dieci marina distribuiti fra Turchia, Grecia e Croazia (per un totale di
circa 9.000 posti barca a disposizione del diportista), la società D-Marin Marinas Group continua la sua

opera di miglioramento e ampliamento dei servizi offerti agli armatori che scelgono di svernare o
semplicemente transitare nelle loro strutture.
Tre i programmi annuali preparati dal management: Passenger, Explorer e Conqueror a cui si
aggiungeranno presto altri come Plus 1, D-Cat Club e Superyacht Freedom.

Vista aerea del marina Flisvos, uno dei 10 porti tra Grecia, Turchia e Croazia gestiti dal gruppo DMarin
Con il primo di questi pacchetti, che prevede la sottoscrizione per un anno in uno dei marina del gruppo,
l’armatore potrà beneficiare dei servizi offerti negli altri porti senza pagare alcuna tariffa per un massimo
di 30 giorni.
La formula Explorer consente invece al diportista di affittarsi annualmente più posti barca nei marina di
suo gradimento con la possibilità di scegliere anche il periodo di attracco in ciascun luogo, assicurandosi
così l’ormeggio nel periodo di interesse ed evitando allo stesso tempo di pagare più tariffe.
Infine, sottoscrivendo l’abbonamento annuale Conqueror, l’armatore si assicura di poter navigare
tranquillamente nel Mediterraneo potendo attraccare in qualsiasi dei marina del gruppo in ogni momento e
rimanere lì per tutto il tempo desiderato. Non serve dunque pianificare il viaggio con largo anticipo né
tantomeno pagare tariffe supplementari.
Plus 1 consente invece all’armatore di ospitare nel suo D-Marina un amico con la sua barca e, qualora
quest’ultimo decidesse di sottoscrivere un abbonamento annuale nello stesso marina, all’armatore
verrebbe regalato un mese di attracco gratuito al momento di rinnovare l’abbonamento.
I porti gestiti dal gruppo D-Marin sono: Turgutreis, Göcek e Didim in Turchia; Mandalina, Dalmatia e
Borik in Croazia; Flisvos, Zea, Gouvia e Lefkada in Grecia.

NAUTICALweb Press - D-marin Marinas Group 2013 World Program -sail with the Privileges of D-marin World

24/10/13 14.50

D-Marin Marinas Group goes full speed ahead with its programs, privileges and
network which make the Do!u" Group company a regional powerhouse in the
Eastern Mediterranean and the Adriatic Sea.
With a network of 10 marinas located across three Mediterranean countries that
are well known for the beauty of their coastlines - Turkey, Greece and Croatia -,
DMarin's
overall capacity reaches almost 9,000 berths, which makes it the largest
international chain of marinas in the said regions.
Offering a unique experience at distinguished marinas, D-Marin gives its customers
the freedom to cruise and discover new destinations within the network with all the
privileges of D-Marin World.
After joining any of the annual programs - named Passenger, Explorer and
Conqueror -, a yacht or superyacht owner can benefit from noteworthy berthing
options, bespoke advantages and unrivalled rewards. There are other advantages
programs like Plus 1, D-Cat Club and Superyacht Freedom (to be launched soon)
which enable to enjoy seasonal benefits not to be missed.
The Passenger program enables the customer with an annual berthing contract with
D-Marin to experience other D-Marin marinas within the program for up to 30 days
without having to pay extra berthing fees.
By giving the power to choose, the Explorer program allows owner to create a
tailor-made annual berthing package securing a berth at multiple D-Marin marinas.
One annual fee enables the customer to choose the duration at each marina,
providing guaranteed berthing with peace of mind.
The Conqueror premium annual package will allow the ultimate freedom to cruise
the Eastern Mediterranean. The Conqueror is flexible and allows yachts to berth at
D-Marin marinas any time, for as long as the owner wants and with the highest
priority. The freedom of the Conqueror package gives access to D-Marin marinas
without having to pay extra berthing fees or plan the voyage in advance.
The said Plus 1 program enables an owner to invite a friend to join D-Marin Marinas
Group as a 'Plus 1' with his yacht. If he signs an annual agreement at the same
marina, the proposer will receive one month free berthing at the time of the next
annual contract renewal.
D-Marin World destinations are: D-Marin Turgutreis, Göcek and Didim (Turkey); DMarin
Mandalina, Dalmacija and Borik (Croatia); Flisvos Marina, Zea, Gouvia and
Lefkas (Greece).
Do!u" Group - one of the largest private-sector conglomerates in Turkey, with a
portfolio around 180 companies -, entered the marina industry in 2003 with DMarin
Turgutreis (Bodrum) and continued afterwards with the construction of the
Didim and Göcek facilities, after which came, respectively, the acquisition of the
Croatian and Greek marinas.
Flisvos, located a mere 6km from the centre of Athens, is Greece's first exclusive
marina to offer a large-scale mooring capacity for megayacht owners. It features
303 berths, 50% of which accomodate yachts with a length in excess of 35 metres.
Its acquisition dates back to December 2012 and was followed, early this year, by
that of the remaining Hellenic marinas.
Also located near Athens, Zea Marina represents another starting point to the
Aegean islands, the Saronic Gulf and Crete, and is the natural home of large-sized
yachts. The two remaining facilities are both ideal ports of departure for cruises in the
Ionian and the Adriatic seas: Lefkas is situated right in the heart of the enchanting
Ionian archipelago, while Gouvia, on the island of Corfu, is the largest marina in
Greece in terms of berth capacity (with a total of 1,235 moorings plus 520 dry
berths).
The overall in-the-water capacity of the four Greek marinas is 2,828 yachts (3,626
including the dry berths).
The Group is actively evaluating acquisition and development of prestigious marinas
in throughout the Mediterranean in order to build a marina network which will also
grow the benefits of D-Marin World.

With a network of 10 marinas located across three Mediterranean countries that are well known for the beauty
of their coastlines - Turkey, Greece and Croatia -, DMarin's overall capacity reaches almost 9,000 berths, which
makes it the largest international chain of marinas in the said regions.
Offering a unique experience at distinguished marinas, D-Marin gives its customers the freedom to cruise and
After joining any of the annual programs - named Passenger, Explorer and Conqueror -, a yacht or superyacht

D-Marin marinas within the program for up to 30 days without having to pay extra berthing fees.
By giving the power to choose, the Explorer program allows owner to create a tailor-made annual berthing
package securing a berth at multiple D-Marin marinas. One annual fee enables the customer to choose the
duration at each marina, providing guaranteed berthing with peace of mind.

DR
The Conqueror premium annual package will allow the ultimate freedom to cruise the Eastern Mediterranean.
The Conqueror is flexible and allows yachts to berth at D-Marin marinas any time, for as long as the owner
wants and with the highest priority. The freedom of the Conqueror package gives access to D-Marin marinas
without having to pay extra berthing fees or plan the voyage in advance.
The said Plus 1 program enables an owner to invite a friend to join D-Marin Marinas Group as a ''Plus 1'' with
his yacht. If he signs an annual agreement at the same marina, the proposer will receive one month free berthing
at the time of the next annual contract renewal.
D-Marin World destinations are: D-Marin Turgutreis, Göcek and Didim (Turkey); DMarin Mandalina,
Dalmacija and Borik (Croatia); Flisvos Marina, Zea, Gouvia and Lefkas (Greece).
Do"u# Group - one of the largest private-sector conglomerates in Turkey, with a portfolio around 180
companies -, entered the marina industry in 2003 with DMarin Turgutreis (Bodrum) and continued afterwards
with the construction of the Didim and Göcek facilities, after which came, respectively, the acquisition of the
Croatian and Greek marinas.
Flisvos, located a mere 6km from the centre of Athens, is Greece's first exclusive marina to offer a large-scale
mooring capacity for megayacht owners. It features 303 berths, 50% of which accomodate yachts with a length
in excess of 35 metres. Its acquisition dates back to December 2012 and was followed, early this year, by that of
the remaining Hellenic marinas.

DR
Also located near Athens, Zea Marina represents another starting point to the Aegean islands, the Saronic Gulf
and Crete, and is the natural home of large-sized yachts. The two remaining facilities are both ideal ports of
departure for cruises in the Ionian and the Adriatic seas: Lefkas is situated right in the heart of the enchanting
Ionian archipelago, while Gouvia, on the island of Corfu, is the largest marina in Greece in terms of berth
capacity (with a total of 1,235 moorings plus 520 dry berths).

The overall in-the-water capacity of the four Greek marinas is 2,828 yachts (3,626 including the dry berths).
The Group is actively evaluating acquisition and development of prestigious marinas in throughout the
Mediterranean in order to build a marina network which will also grow the benefits of D-Marin World.

OCTOBER 2013

Turkey advances
in yachting tourism
Turkey is about to become the fulcrum of the Mediterranean in yachting
tourism, and not only thanks to the harbours along its coasts

T

he growth this country is
enjoying, in contrast to the
struggling European economies,
has liberated new energy and
given rise to a policy of expansion that
is rapidly changing the Mediterranean
scenario in this sector.

Dogus Group
The Dogus Group, owned by Turkish
billionaire Ferit Sahenk, is active in
various sectors, from construction to
tourism, from cars to financial services.
From the year it was founded, the group
has implemented a policy of diversification
that has led it to broaden its activities
through entrepreneurial initiatives in
various compartments apparently not
interconnected. In addition, thanks to
its solid and consolidated position in
international markets, which has earned
it a BB rating from S&P and a Ba3 from
Moody’s, Dogus has not felt the effects
of recent political upheaval in the
country, nor the consequent turbulence
in the national economy, and has by
now acquired the fame of a high level
competitor in the tourist sector.

History
The Dogus group was formed in 1951 by
Ayhan Sahenk as a construction company:
among its first projects worthy construction
of the large Kessiksu-Memetti dam and the
building of other large infrastructures in

Turkey, both ports and roads. Expansion
into the financial sector and major
construction work continued throughout
the 80s, and in the 90s the group was
making its mark on international markets:
it founded the Garanti Bank International
with headquarters in Amsterdam and
began consolidating its position in
tourism, with the construction and
acquisition of big luxury hotels. At the
same time it entered the automotive field,
becoming the main distributor of cars and
industrial vehicles(Volkswagen, Audi,
Porsche, Scania) and the clothing sector
(partnership with big fashion groups:
Armani, Gucci, Loro Piana, Vogue). It built
its first harbour in 1997, with the creation
of the Dogus Didim Marina Company.
Soon after it began another three initiatives
in the tourist ports sector: in Bodrum,
Dalaman and Antalya. Meanwhile
international consolidation continued,
with important orders in bog area (the Sofia
underground), Ukraine (Kyev airport) and
Libya (Al-Tahadi University), in addition to
its activities in Turkey.

Tourism
The tourist sector, with its $1,405 million
of assets, represents about 4% of the group’s
consolidated turnover. The subsidiary
D-Marin Marinas Group, the main tourist
company, today owns about 9000 berths
in various tourist ports on the coasts
of the Eastern Mediterranean and the

Adriatic, which makes it one of the biggest
international tourist port management
chains in the Mediterranean, and certainly
the biggest in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Initiatives and projects
Besides the acquisition of Croatian
marinas, in December 2012 the Dogus
group completed the acquisition of 50% of
the shares of Flisvos Marina, the megayacht
port a few kilometres from Athens, with
the creation of a joint venture with Lamda
Development S.A., a company quoted on
the Athens stock exchange. Prospects
for the future are to begin developing
other construction and tourist projects in
collaboration with the Greek company, and
perhaps also the purchase of the entire
share capital of Flisvos Marina. For now, all
that is known is that the deal with Lamda
S.A. was concluded starting from a figure
equal to seven times the value of the port.
Also in 2012, through a partnership with
the big Greek cruise group Kiriakulis, came
the acquisition of 51% of Medmarinas, a
company that manages the three tourist
ports of Gouvia in Corfu, Zea in the Piraeus
and Lefkas on the Peloponnese coast.
In addition, a second agreement signed
with Kriakoulis Mediterranean Cruises
Shipping allowed the company to offer
charter services in 28 locations in Turkey,
Croatia, Italy, France, Malta and in the
Caribbean.

I marina del Gruppo Dogus

La Turchia avanza
nel turismo nautico

L

a crescita che
sta interessando
questo paese, in
contrapposizione
con l’arrancare delle
economie europee, ha infatti
liberato nuove energie e
dato il via a una politica
di espansione che sta
modificando velocemente lo
scenario del Mediterraneo
in questo settore. E se
all’inizio del 2000 il
fenomeno si concretizzava
prevalentemente nella
nascita di moderni ed
efficienti marina, costruiti
lungo le coste turche per
iniziativa di gruppi privati,
oggi invece assistiamo a
una serie di acquisizioni di
porti turistici già esistenti
nelle zone più attraenti del
Mediterraneo, condotte in
prima persona da società
turche. Uno dei soggetti che
sta sviluppando al meglio
questa strategia di crescita è

NT_2013_005_INT@040-043.indd 40

il gruppo Dogus, una holding
privata con sede a Istanbul,
nata nel 1951.

Dogus Group
Il gruppo Dogus, che fa capo
al miliardario turco Ferit
Sahenk, è attivo in vari
settori, dalle costruzioni al
turismo, dall’automotive ai
servizi finanziari. Dall’anno
della sua nascita il gruppo
ha attuato una politica
di diversificazione che lo
ha portato ad ampliare le
proprie attività attraverso
iniziative imprenditoriali
in comparti diversi e
apparentemente non collegati
fra loro. Inoltre, grazie
alla sua solida posizione
consolidata sui mercati
internazionali, che gli ha
garantito l’ottenimento di
un rating pari a BB da parte
di S&P e a Ba3 da parte
di Moody’s, Dogus non ha
risentito degli effetti dei

recenti avvenimenti politici
turchi, né dei conseguenti
contraccolpi registrati
nell’economia nazionale, e
oggi ha oramai acquisito la
fama di competitor turistico
ad alto livello. D’altronde,
gli ambiziosi programmi
d’investimento del gruppo
hanno raggiunto proprio in
questi ultimi periodi notevoli
successi, come dimostrato
dalle recenti acquisizioni
condotte proprio nel
settore del turismo nautico.
Attraverso la consorella
D-Marin Marinas Group,
infatti, Dogus Holding
controlla oggi con quote
pari al 100% tre marina
croati (D-Marin Mandalina
a Sebenico, D-Marin
Dalmacija e D-Marin Borik
presso Zara) ed ha acquisito
una partecipazione pari al
6,92% in ACI Croazia, la più
grande catena di gestione dei
marina croati. Nel quadro di

La Turchia si appresta
a divenire il fulcro del
Mediterraneo nel campo
del turismo nautico,
e non solo grazie agli
approdi dislocati lungo
le sue coste
Federica Ameglio

questa strategia di crescita
nel Mediterraneo, la società
turca ha inoltre stretto
accordi e acquistato quote
di capitale in Medmarina
S.A., affiliata al gruppo
greco Kiriakulis Group (la
più grande catena di porti
turistici greci) e in Lamda
Development Group, che
possiede e gestisce Flisvos
Marina, il grande porto
turistico situato vicino ad
Atene. Ma le acquisizioni
non si fermeranno qui: Dogus
Group non nasconde infatti
il suo obiettivo di diventare
il leader della portualità
turistica nel Mediterraneo. E
l’Amministratore delegato di
Dogus Group, Husnu Akhan,
ha recentemente asserito che
la società intende diventare
una grande holding nel
mercato dei marina con
lo scopo di creare una
piattaforma internazionale di
porti nel Mediterraneo.

18/09/13 09.20

Dogous Group nasce
nel 1951 per iniziativa
di Ayhan Sahenk come
società di costruzioni: fra
le prime iniziative portate
a compimento figurano la
costruzione della grande
diga di Kessiksu-Memetti
e la realizzazione di altre
grandi infrastrutture in
Turchia, sia nell’abito
portuale che stradale. Alla
fine degli anni ‘70 inizia
l’espansione del gruppo
Dogus in altri settori
economici, quali quello
creditizio, con l’acquisto
della Yapi Kredi Bank, e in
quello alimentare, con la
creazione della Filiz Gida. Il
gruppo, inoltre, avvia anche
una vivace espansione nelle
attività di ricerca mineraria
e nel settore turistico.

L’espansione nel campo
finanziario e l’impegno
nella realizzazione di grandi
impianti continua intanto
per tutti gli anni ‘80, e negli
anni ‘90 il gruppo è oramai
affermato sui mercati

internazionali: fonda la
Garanti Bank International
con sede ad Amsterdam e
avvia il suo consolidamento
nel settore turistico, con
la creazione e l’acquisto
di grandi hotel di pregio.

Contemporaneamente entra
nel campo automobilistico,
diventando il principale
distributore di auto e veicoli
industriali (Volkswagen,
Audi, Porsche, Scania) e in
quello dell’abbigliamento

I Porti turistici creati o gestiti
dal gruppo sono attualmente
nove, di cui sei direttamente
controllati dalla D-Marin
Marinas Group. Il gruppo ha
fra i propri obiettivi quello
di presentare un livello
dei servizi standardizzato
e completo in tutte le sue
strutture, posizionandosi nella
fascia più alta del mercato.

Le iniziative e i
progetti
(partnership con i grandi
gruppi della moda: Armani,
Gucci, Loro Piana, Vogue).
Risale al 1997 la sua prima
attività di costruzione
di una darsena, con la
creazione della Dogus
Didim Marina Company.
Poco dopo avvia altre tre
iniziative nel settore della
portualità turistica: a
Bodrum, a Dalaman e ad
Antalya. Prosegue intanto il
consolidamento del gruppo
sul piano internazionale,
con l’acquisizione di
importanti e commesse in
Bulgaria (metropolitana di
Sofia), Ucraina (Aeroporto
di Kiev) e Libia (AlTahadi University), oltre
alle attività sul territorio
nazionale. Il Gruppo,
dagli inizi del 2000
è diventato anche un
rilevante esponente nel
settore radiotelevisivo.
Dogus Group oggi conta
30.000 dipendenti e 180
società operanti in sette
settori: Servizi Finanziari,
Automotive, Costruzioni,
Media, Turismo,
Immobiliare e Energia.
L’attivo totale del gruppo

NT_2013_005_INT@040-043.indd 42

ammontava a fine 2012 a
118 miliardi di dollari (31
miliardi su base consolidata).
A dispetto della crisi
economica globale, il gruppo
ha conseguito nel 2012 un
utile netto di 417 milioni di
dollari, e negli ultimi anni
ha registrato un reddito
operativo costantemente
superiore al 10% dei ricavi.

Il turismo
Il settore turismo, con i suoi
1.405 milioni di dollari

di assets, rappresenta
nel gruppo circa il 4%
dell’attivo consolidato.
L’affiliata D-Marin Marinas
Group, la principale società
del comparto turistico,
possiede oggi circa 9.000
posti barca, dislocati in vari
porti turistici sulle coste
del Mediterraneo Orientale
e dell’Adriatico, il che la
rende una delle più grandi
catene internazionali di
gestione di porti turistici nel
Mediterraneo, e sicuramente

Oltre all’acquisizione
dei marina croati, nel
dicembre 2012 il gruppo
Dogus ha perfezionato
l’acquisto del 50% delle
quote di Flisvos Marina,
il porto per megayacht
situato a pochi chilometri
da Atene, mediante la
creazione di una joint
venture con Lamda
Development S.A., società
quotata alla Borsa di
Atene. La prospettiva
futura è quella di avviare
lo sviluppo di altre
iniziative immobiliari
e altri progetti turistici
in collaborazione con
la società greca, e forse
anche quella di puntare
all’acquisizione dell’intero
pacchetto azionario di
Flisvos Marina.
Per ora, si sa solo che
l’entità della transazione
conclusa con Lamda
S.A. è stata stabilita
partendo da una cifra
pari a sette volte il valore
del porticciolo. Sempre
nel 2012 è avvenuta,
tramite una partnership
avviata con il grande
gruppo crocieristico greco
Kiriakulis, l’acquisizione
del 51% di Medmarinas,

comunque quello
di Dalaman Yacht Marina,
un porto turistico
per yachts di tutte le
dimensioni da costruire
nelle vicinanze di Gocek,
dove la società possiede
già un grande albergo.
Dalaman è una splendida
baia situata a soli dieci
minuti dall’aeroporto
internazionale di Dalaman
e il progetto, che prevede
la creazione di 650
ormeggi, dovrebbe
essere avviato nel 2014,
una volta completato
l’iter di autorizzazione
all’esecuzione dei lavori.
I terreni sono già stati
acquistati dal Gruppo
Dogus nel 2010. I primi
impegni per creare un
approdo nell’area risalgono
a 15 anni fa, ma dal
2009 l’interessamento
del gruppo Dogus ha
portato alla stesura del
progetto che ora attende le
autorizzazioni ministeriali
necessarie. Tale progetto
deﬁnitivo è stato presentato
alla municipalità e alla
comunità a giugno 2012. F

“D-Marin now owns the largest international chain of marinas in the Eastern Mediterranean
Basin and Adriatic Sea”
Highlighting that Kiriacoulis Group operating in the tourism, construction and real estate industries is
one of the reference companies in the region when it comes to the maritime industry, Doğuş Group’s
CEO Hüsnü Akhan expressed that with this agreement the company has taken yet another
important step towards its enlargement strategy targeting the Eastern Mediterranean Basin and
Adriatic Sea. “D-Marin Marinas Group owns the largest international chain of marinas in the Eastern
Mediterranean Basin and Adriatic Sea,” said Akhan and added that “The marina industry is very
dear to Doğuş Group and we are striving by the day in this industry to add value to our business. We

Basin and Adriatic Sea and flying the Turkish flag in international waters.”
“We aim to begin constructing D-Marin Dalaman this year”
“As Doğuş Group, we entered the marina industry for the first time in 2003 with D-Marin Turgutreis

aim to begin constructing D-Marin Dalaman this year. Located only 10 minutes from the airport, our
marina offers yacht owners the comfort of accessing their yachts in a mere 10 minutes after getting off
the plane.”
“Sea tourism is crucial for Turkey’s national income”
Doğuş Group’s CEO Hüsnü Akhan drew attention to the fact that all coastline countries are interested
in yacht and marina management, which are closely, linked to the tourism, maritime and transportation
industries. “One of the main reasons for this is the economic income that it generates in various areas.
Compared with other Mediterranean countries, Turkey is surrounded by three seas and therefore has
the potential to become the top yachting region in the global sea tourism industry” said Akhan. “Sea
tourism accounts for a significant part of tourism revenues, with yacht tourists spending 10 more times
per capita than land tourists. Therefore, this industry is crucial in terms of its contribution to national
income.”

The luxury marinas group, with six marinas in Turkey and Croatia, and with a growing global
portfolio, will this year sponsor The Superyacht Owners’ Lounge (TSOL) at MYS. This exclusive
venue for owners, VIPs and elite partners of TSOL’s hosts, will provide a strong platform to
communicate the major strides taken by D-Marin in 2012.
Foremost of these is the Group’s recent acquisition of two marinas, Marina Dalmacija and Marina
Borik, Croatia. D-Marin Dalmacija is the highest capacity marina in the Eastern Mediterranean basin
with 1,200 berths in which 40 cater for superyachts up to 60m. D-Marin Borik, a charming, boutique
marina has 177 berths with a maximum capacity for yachts up to 40m.
D-Marin will be unveiling plans to upgrade these strategically located marinas in line with D-Marin’s
exceptional standards of luxury, technical facilities and emphasis on hospitality. D-Marin has pledged
considerable injection of capital to achieve this. A phenomenal €17 million has been projected for
D-Marin Dalmacija alone.
The second major announcement for Monaco is the appointment of Matthew Bate, CEO of D-Marin.
Bate, brings extensive knowledge and experience in the development and global operations of marina
and luxury waterfront destinations.
Looking ahead to Monaco, he said, “I am excited to be representing D-Marin at Monaco Yacht Show
in such a signiﬁcant period of the company’s growth.”
“Our goal for D-Marin is to provide all sectors of the industry with unique and world-class facilities
that combined create an international network of marina destinations under the luxury D-Marin brand.
With nearly 5,000 wet and dry berths within our portfolio we are well on our way to achieving this.

I’m looking forward to sharing D-Marin’s vision to industry leaders at Monaco in preparation for our
major splash on the international stage.”
Last year at Monaco, D-Marin gave a preview of a major marina expansion at D-Marin Mandalina,
Croatia. Since then, this expansion which saw 79 new berths added for superyachts up to 140m has
been up and running successfully since spring and D-Marin will be pleased to report a tremendous ﬁrst
six months of operation. More on this will be unveiled at the show.

Two superyacht marinas in Croatia acquired by D-Marin
Marinas Group
May 15, 2012
Following the Sibenik Mandalina Marina acquisition, one of Turkey´s biggest investors in
Marina operations, Doğuş Group, has now acquired other two superyacht marinas in Croatia.
Marina Dalmacija as well as Marina Borik were ofﬁcially taken over by the Group at a
ceremony taking place in Croatia, where the Group signed a share takeover agreement.

Marina Dalmacija in Croatia
Becoming both the shareholder, developer and operator of the marinas in Zadar, the Group acquired
the shares from one of the region’s prominent businessmen Zdenko Zrilic.
Regarding the acquisition, “With our signature today, we are delighted to place Marina Dalmacija and
Marina Borik under the roof of the D-Marin Group of Marinas. Our goal is to create an international
chain of marinas under the D-Marin brand and extend Doğuş Group’s concept of service quality to a

larger area in the Mediterranean” said Doğuş Group CEO Hüsnü Akhan. A total of €17 million worth
of additional investment will be made in Marina Dalmacija, Croatia’s biggest marina, entailing
modernisation, and construction of commercial and tourist facilities.
Doğuş Group first moved into the marina industry in 2003 with D-Marin Turgutreis Marina. In line
with its goal of growing in the marina industry, it made D-Marin Didim operational in 2009. In the
third quarter of 2010, the Group acquired Port Göcek and added it to the D-Marin Group of Marinas
under the name of D-Marin Göcek. The construction of D-Marin Dalaman, in project design phase at
the moment, is scheduled to start within this year.
While abroad, following its partnership agreement with Nautical Centre Prgin (NCP) in 2009, it took
over the operation of Mandalina Marina in Sibenik, Croatia which has a very crucial position and
potential in the Mediterranean basin. Upon the Group’s acquiring 76% of the shares of the marina and
becoming the main shareholder as of September 2011, the marina started serving under the name
D-Marin Mandalina.
Doğuş Group continues to develop its expertise acquired in marina investments and operations with its
projects in Croatia. Marina Dalmacija acquired by Doğuş Group has a berthing capacity of 1200
in-water slips and 500 dry dock berths on land while Marina Borik has 200 in-water slips and 50 dry
dock berths on land. The Group will develop and renovate the existing marinas in Zadar and will be
operating the entire marina complex.
Along with these two new investments, Doğuş Marinas Group’s total berthing capacity in Croatia has
exceeded the capacity of marinas in Turkey.

Doğuş Group will be making additional investment for modernisation and the construction of
commercial and tourist facilities in the Marina Dalmacija marina, the highest capacity marina in the
Eastern Mediterranean basin with a total of 1700 in-water slips and dry dock berths on land. In this
project where the additional investment is planned to be €17 billion, the entire investment will be
undertaken by Doğuş Group. Only 5 km from the Zadar International Airport, Marina Dalmacija is at
an advantageous position due to this feature.
Doğuş Group CEO Hüsnü Akhan: “We are moving forward with determined strides toward our claim
and goal of being a regional player.”
In a statement he made regarding the issue, Doğuş Group CEO Hüsnü Akhan has said the new
investments they have undertaken in Croatia are the most concrete evidence to their strategy of
becoming a global player in the region in the marina and yacht industry. “Croatia is the world’s most
dynamic market in the area of marina and yacht industry. Its influence is increasing more and more in
the Mediterranean basin and it is a very strong player as regards its experience and potential in this
area. Our new investments in Croatia are testimony to our successes in the international arena as is the
case with D-Marin in Turkey. As Doğuş Group, we are moving forward with determined strides
toward our claim and goal of being a regional player” added Akhan.
Stating that they were delighted to bring Dalmacija and Borik marinas under the roof of D-Marin
Group of Marinas, “Our goal is to create an international chain of marinas under the D-Marin brand
and extend Doğuş Group’s concept of service quality to a larger area in the Mediterranean. Croatia is a
very appropriate location for our goals. We will continue to watch for new investment opportunities in
this region” said Doğuş Group CEO Hüsnü Akhan.

THERE ARE MANY FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE RECOMMENDING A HOMEPORT TO
THE OWNER. THESE 14 MARINAS FROM AROUND THE WORLD OFFER A GOOD BALANCE OF
LOCATION, AMENITIES AND SERVICE TO MAKE A GREAT LONG-TERM BASE.

homeport. Perhaps most important, it has to be in the right location. It should have an easily accessible, safe, deep harbor, be
close to good cruising grounds, have easy transport connections,
excellent yachting facilities and, preferably, be in the center of
a vibrant cultural destination full of charm, history and local amenities.
Good weather all year round helps, too.

on year, but how easy will it be to sell that
lease if necessary, and who reaps the rewards
of using the berth for short-term transits
when it’s unoccupied? What are the relative
costs for electricity, water, bunkering and
pump out? What is the tax situation and how
stable is the economy and exchange rate of
the vessel’s chosen homeport country?
Prices, and therefore value for money,
depend on supply and demand and risk. New
marinas often offer special deals, sometimes
before the marina is even built, to attract
those all-important early investors who are
prepared to take a risk and perhaps live with
subsequent building phases for a few months
or years. Existing marinas with spare capacity, in perhaps less popular locations, have to
be more competitive than full marinas with
waiting lists in established locations.
Beware of comparing prices online. Some
facilities quote per meter/foot per day, per
month, per season or per annum; many prefer to provide a quote on enquiry. Rates may
be inclusive or exclusive of various taxes and
additional services, some marinas throw in
extras for longer-term stays or annual berths,
and some marinas, particularly the newer
ones, have attractive introductory offers.

Once the location has been settled, it’s
down to the experienced developers, craftsmen and technical experts — the berth size
and mix must be optimized and every bit
of technology, from security systems to
high-speed bunkering, has to meet exacting demands. Essential facilities and amenities that don’t come with the location itself
have to be part of the design. On top of all
that, the best homeports need to provide
the best customer service and instant access
to every conceivable kind of home comfort
and provision. Those that put the needs of
captain and crew equal to those of owners
and guests are likely to score even higher.
And while price may not be the first priority,
value for money is important.
Do your homework before recommending a marina to the vessel’s owner. While
value for money is highly subjective, there
are bargains available if the owner is prepared to make sacrifices on location or on
nonessential facilities and amenities. Head
farther away from the most popular destinations, for example in Europe, farther east
to Cyprus and Turkey, and you are likely to
get similar high standards at a reduced cost.
But base in wholly undiscovered locations
with big savings and you may risk finding
that the owner misses the comforts and
amenities of established locations or finds
the culture shock too great. There’s also the
possibility that any savings on berth prices
may be swallowed up by the additional costs
of getting there and then sailing from the
base to favored cruising destinations.
The financial considerations are complex:
a long-term berth lease may be cheaper year
