Located on the spectacular island of Corfu, and home to Network Yacht Brokers Corfu, Marina Gouvia completes a major redevelopment in the Ionian Sea!
Marina Gouvia, a key yachting destination located 7.5 kilometers north of Corfu Town on the island’s east coast, has recently undergone a major redevelopment aimed at enhancing both capacity and the visitor experience. The multi-million-euro project was spearheaded by D-Marin, the marina’s owner, in partnership with SF Marina, utilizing their advanced floating dock system.
The modernisation effort was designed to expand berthing capacity and upgrade amenities for both long-term and visiting guests. D-Marin collaborated with SF Marina and engineering consultant Marnet S.A. to execute the redevelopment in two phases.
Phase One: Floating Dock Replacement
The first phase, completed in summer 2023, involved replacing all of the marina’s existing piers. A total of 456 meters of concrete pontoons were installed. These steel-reinforced floating dock sections are virtually unsinkable, offering exceptional stability and minimal lateral movement. Secured with chain and concrete anchors, the new pontoons also present a streamlined and modern appearance.
Phase Two: Marina Expansion and Enhanced Berthing
In the second phase, Marina Gouvia added a 120-meter aluminium-framed pier along with an additional 425 meters of pontoons. Engineered to endure commercial port conditions, the 4-meter-wide Type 1240 pontoons can accommodate vessels up to 70 meters in length. Their robust design also allows them to serve as an effective breakwater, protecting the marina from wave action.
Boosted Capacity – Upon completion of both phases, Marina Gouvia’s capacity has increased to 1,350 boats. www.d-marin.com/en/marinas/gouvia
With upgraded amenities and expanded berthing, Marina Gouvia has further cemented its status as a premier gateway to the Ionian, Adriatic, and Mediterranean seas—welcoming yachts to explore the region’s many islands, beaches, and coastal towns.
