Visualisation of the RE:MARINA concept

Who it is for and when

For marinas ready to act.

Together with the marina’s management, and ideally with crew members or captains who know your marina well, we work on a future concept with impact. 

01

The concession is up for renewal.

02

Investors or owners are asking about sustainability.

03

A certification is planned.

04

Superyacht clients expect more than shore power.

What do you have after the workshop?

A roadmap your team lives.

01

Maturity profile

Status quo: where your marina stands on sustainability and what it can prove.

02

Action list

Prioritised by impact and effort, with quick wins for next season.

03

Business Case

A first estimate of costs, savings, new revenue and funding opportunities.
04

Roadmap

Projects for 12 to 36 months, each with a named owner.

Process

See. Assess. Decide.

before

Preparation

Kick-off call, data request on power, water, waste and refit, short interviews with the harbour master and regular clients.
two days on site

Workshop

Site walk, assessment, ideas and options, prioritisation and decision.

Two weeks later

Results report

15 to 20 pages, final review meeting, check-in after three months on the progress of the quick wins.

Method

Six levers for a Net Positive Marina.

Each lever is assessed with data and observations, and we develop potential changes as part of the sustainability strategy.

Energy

Shore power for all superyacht berths, on-site solar generation with storage and charging for electric tenders. The goal is a marina where no generator runs at the berth.

Water

Black and grey water pump-out at the berth, reuse and rainwater harvesting, continuous water quality monitoring. The goal is a marina with zero discharge.

Marine ecosystem

Protecting seagrass meadows, mooring buoys instead of anchoring, new habitats on pontoons and quays. The goal is more life in the marina than before, backed by measurements.

Circularity

Waste separation, hull cleaning with antifouling capture and passing on interiors and technical equipment. The goal is the marina as a hub for materials.

Mobility

How guests, crews and deliveries reach the marina: from e-shuttles and consolidated deliveries to regional provisioning for yachts.

People

Good crew lounges and sanitary facilities, accommodation and training for crews. The goal is teams ashore and on board who carry sustainability forward.

Price and options

Clear price. Credited if we continue.

FAQ

What do we need to prepare?

The data request on berths, power, water, waste, refit and certificates. Anything missing, we flag and estimate together.

Who should take part?

Management or owners, harbour master, technical and sustainability; optionally finance and a captain as the voice of the client.

What happens after the check?

You decide on the quick wins. On request, we support implementation, and the check is then credited.

Isn’t net positive too ambitious for us?

The check shows the path in stages: entry, advanced, net positive. Most marinas start with measures that need no building permit.
