D-Marin is raising the bar for standard services in the nautical sector with the relaunch of Gouvia Marina in Corfu, backed by an investment of \u20ac8.5 million.<\/strong><\/p>

D-Marin<\/a><\/strong><\/span> has carried out a major redevelopment of Gouvia Marina in Corfu, investing \u20ac8.5 million to transform it into a modern, exclusive destination for boating and leisure. This project reinforces the marina\u2019s role as a strategic gateway to the area whilst delivering tangible benefits for the environment, the local community and the visitor experience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Strategically situated between the Adriatic and the Mediterranean, Gouvia Marina is Corfu\u2019s largest marina<\/strong> and a key driver of the island\u2019s economy. The project embodies D-Marin\u2019s long-term vision to enhance the yachting experience whilst establishing the marina as a vibrant, open space fully integrated with the local area and community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The entire marina infrastructure has been upgraded, significantly enhancing accessibility, comfort and the day-to-day experience for guests and crews.
– 104<\/strong> new berths for vessels up to 50<\/strong> metres in length
– New car parking areas
– An additional 6,000<\/strong> square metres of dry storage space
– Pedestrianised seafront
– Refurbished internal road network
– Refurbished toilets and showers<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In addition to the marina area, the landscape and outdoor spaces have been incorporated into the project, with over 2,000 trees and plants planted to create a contemporary, open and welcoming environment. A new playground and an amphitheatre reinforce the marina\u2019s social and cultural vocation; the amphitheatre will host concerts, cultural events and open-air cinema evenings, further establishing the marina as a destination that goes beyond the purely nautical dimension.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ioannis Koutsodontis<\/strong>, Regional Director of D-Marin Greece, said: \u201cThe modernisation of Gouvia Marina goes far beyond a simple infrastructure project. It is a comprehensive transformation that brings together architectural excellence, technological innovation and sustainability, creating a premium, inclusive and dynamic destination deeply connected to Corfu\u2019s local community<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

DIGITALISATION <\/strong>has also been a key focus. All berths are now equipped with terminals that enable remote management of electricity and water consumption via the D-Marin mobile app \u2013 a solution that enhances the user experience whilst optimising operational efficiency and energy management. To this end, Wi-Fi coverage has been upgraded across the site to ensure continuous, reliable connectivity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The improvements introduced have also delivered tangible benefits in customer satisfaction, as evidenced by an 11-point increase in the Net Promoter Score (NPS), reflecting recognition of the superior quality of the facilities, services and overall experience.<\/p>

In terms of sustainability, safety and ESG principles, the marina now features high-pressure water filtration systems, advanced fire detection and emergency alarm systems, as well as energy-efficient LED lighting.<\/p>

As part of a wider redevelopment plan, Gouvia Marina has also completed its first on-site solar power installation, the first such project carried out by D-Marin in Greece. The 100 kWp system is expected to generate around 167 MWh of clean energy per year, covering approximately 20% of the facility\u2019s operational energy requirements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cThe solar installation at Gouvia Marina confirms D-Marin\u2019s ongoing progress towards decarbonisation and makes it the group\u2019s first Greek marina to generate renewable energy on-site. The project adds to the 5 MW of photovoltaic capacity already installed at our marinas in Turkey, Croatia and Italy, supporting our SBTi commitment and our goal of reducing emissions by 42% by 2030<\/em>\u201d, said Korina Kostakaki<\/strong>, Head of Sustainability and Health & Safety at D-Marin Greece.<\/p>

Gouvia was able to complete this ambitious project through the \u201cGreece 2.0\u201d National Recovery and Resilience Plan, funded by the European Union\u2019s NextGenerationEU. According to D-Marin, the initiative marks a significant step forward for Greek nautical tourism, helping to accelerate sustainable investment, infrastructure modernisation and the sector\u2019s long-term competitiveness.
