When two pillars of the yachting world come together, you get yourself a pretty solid yachting experience, albeit one in the making. Great ship news is sailing your way as renowned names Azimut-Benetti and D-Marin have joined hands or should we say hulls for a new marina development in Livorno, Italy. With a budget expected to cost approximately $16 million, construction is set to begin in April 2024 and by mid-2026, you will have yourself a dazzling new Livorno Marina.


The optimistic duo has even shared news that if all goes to plan, certain sections of the Livorno Marina will become operational ahead of its official completion. What can yacht enthusiasts and billionaires with big boats expect out of it? For starters, the marina will be large enough to house 815 berths and fully renovated docks. There are dedicated areas for meetings and to cater to the rich and famous, premium leisure, and entertainment amenities. 220 square meters of the site will be reserved for restaurants, 60 square meters for bars, and 250 square meters dedicated to offices, per Superyacttimes.

The luxe aesthetics are all penned by Florence-based architectural studio Archea Associati that will weave in a layer of sustainability in the development. The marina will depend on solar panels, rainwater recovery systems, and natural elements, such as trees and hedges to replace fencing among its eco-friendly measures. “Livorno is delighted to have its own marina,” said Livorno city mayor Luca Salvetti. “After 16 years, the procedure to effectively grant the concession was finalized. As a result, work will soon begin on the construction of the marina, enriching a part of Livorno that connects the city center to the seafront.” Nicolo Caffo, general manager of D-Marin Italia, added: “D-Marin believes strongly in Livorno. It will be one of the most prestigious marinas in the Mediterranean, built on shared values aligned on premium customer experiences, commercial excellence, sustainability commitments, and innovations.”
