Premium Marina Assets Drive Growth Strategy

Mirazur Capital, an alternative investment firm with offices in Monaco, Madrid and Luxembourg, said the acquisition aligns with its long-term strategy of building a network of high-end marinas across the Mediterranean.

The firm is focused on improving operational standards and service quality while investing in strategically located waterfront assets.

Marina Port Vell’s current management team, led by General Manager Ignacio Erroz, will remain in place to ensure continuity as the business enters its next stage of development.

Infrastructure Investment Builds Global Reputation

Since 2021, Marina Port Vell has invested more than €20 million in expanding its capacity for larger vessels while improving operational efficiency and sustainability standards.

Located in central Barcelona, the marina offers 73 berths and features a 400-metre quay, one of the longest in the Mediterranean. The facility can accommodate superyachts measuring up to 190 metres, making it a destination for some of the world’s largest vessels.

“The involvement of Mirazur Capital is a recognition of the work carried out by the whole team over recent years and gives us the means to continue growing, whilst maintaining the excellence that defines us,” Erroz said.

He added that the marina aims to strengthen Barcelona’s position as one of the world’s leading superyacht hubs.

Mirazur Capital Managing Partner Marcos Pellejero Ibáñez described Marina Port Vell as a rare opportunity, citing its central Barcelona location, internationally recognized brand and experienced management team.

The acquisition represents another step in the firm’s strategy of investing in premium marina assets and maritime infrastructure investment opportunities across world-class Mediterranean destinations.
