The French Riviera is a Mediterranean coastline in France's southeast corner. Although there is no formal border, it is often seen to run from Toulon, Le Lavandou, or Saint-Tropez in the west to Menton on the France–Italy border in the east. The coast is entirely inside the French region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The Principality of Monaco is a semi-enclave inside the region, bordering France on three sides and facing the Mediterranean Sea. Cap-d'Ail, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Cannes, Saint-Raphael, Fréjus, Sainte-Maxime, and Saint-Tropez are all seaside destinations on the French Riviera.

The Durres Yachts and Marina in Albania: A game-changing investment in the yachting industry

The Durres Yachts and Marina in Albania is a game-changing investment in the yachting industry, with a price tag of 2.5 billion euros. This state-of-the-art marina is designed to meet the highest international standards of quality and sustainability, and it has the potential to stimulate growth and investment in the yachting industry in Albania.

Albania’s Durres Yachts and Marina is not just another marina. It is a game-changing investment in the yachting industry, with a staggering price tag of 2.5 billion euros. This state-of-the-art marina is expected to revolutionize the way people think about Albania as a yachting destination and put the country on the map as a world-class player in the industry.

The Durres Yachts and Marina is the result of a partnership between the Albanian government and Balfin Group, a leading Albanian investment company. The project was started in 2013, with the goal of creating a world-class marina that would meet the needs of yacht owners and travelers from around the world. After years of planning and construction, the marina finally opened in 2021, and it has already attracted attention from the global yachting community.

So what makes the Durres Yachts and Marina such a groundbreaking investment? First and foremost, it is the scale of the project. This is not just a marina; it is a comprehensive development that includes luxury hotels, residential villas, restaurants, shops, and other amenities. The marina itself can accommodate up to 70 yachts, with a maximum length of 40 meters, making it one of the largest and most advanced marinas in the region.

Durres Yachts and Marina, rendering.

In addition, the Durres Yachts and Marina is designed to meet the highest international standards of quality and sustainability. The marina uses state-of-the-art technology to minimize its environmental impact, with features such as a wastewater treatment plant, solar panels, and LED lighting. The marina also offers a range of services and amenities that are tailored to the needs of yacht owners, including 24-hour security, fueling station, boat repair services, and concierge services.

But perhaps the most important aspect of the Durres Yachts and Marina is its potential to stimulate growth and investment in the yachting industry in Albania. The marina is expected to create jobs and generate revenue for the local economy, as well as attract investment from other companies and developers. This, in turn, could lead to the development of new infrastructure and services, such as yacht maintenance and repair facilities, yacht clubs, and other amenities that are necessary for the growth of the industry.

Of course, there are still some challenges that need to be addressed in order for Albania to become a major player in the yachting industry. The country’s infrastructure, while improving, still has some way to go, and there is a lack of experienced and qualified personnel in the yachting sector. However, the Durres Yachts and Marina is a major step forward, and it is expected to attract investment and stimulate growth in the industry.

In conclusion, the Durres Yachts and Marina in Albania is a game-changing investment in the yachting industry, with the potential to transform Albania into a world-class yachting destination. With its scale, quality, and sustainability, the marina sets a new standard for excellence in the industry. And with its potential to generate growth, investment, and jobs, the marina is an investment in Albania’s future.

„Monaco of the Adriatic”: Largest superyacht marina in the Mediterranean announced

A global real estate investment company from the Emirates has announced the construction of a new superyacht marina that will transform the ancient city of Durrés in Albania into the “Monaco of Adriano” . Investment cost: approximately $2.5 billion.

Eagle Hills, the Abu Dhabi-based private real estate investment and development company that focuses on developing and revitalizing “integrated communities with smart innovation, high-end products and services,” said in a press release that the planned Durrës Yachts & Marina will be the largest superyacht marina in the Mediterranean when completed, but did not give a timeline for the project.

The project includes 12,000 luxury apartments, a state-of-the-art marina capable of accommodating the world’s largest superyachts, the first cruise terminal on the Albanian coast, exclusive beach and marina clubs, retail and restaurant space, and luxury hotels and “branded hotel residences.”

“This development is the pinnacle of luxury living while bringing immense new investment, infrastructure and long-term growth opportunities to Albania,” said Eagle Hills Chairman Mohamed Alabbar. “We are proud of our partnership with the citizens and government officials of this nation on this groundbreaking transformation project, which required two years of planning and design by internationally recognized architects, engineers, public space consultants and artists.

Located just 34 km from the capital city of Tirana, Durrës is home to Albania’s largest port and claims to be the oldest city in the world, with a 3,000-year history dating back to 627 BC. Upon completion of the project, Eagle Hill said, the city will be the most modern municipality in the region.

“Durrës Yachts & Marina will be designed as one of the most sustainable new cities in the world, incorporating green practices, green spaces and smart technologies to reduce air pollution and CO2 emissions, improve air quality and protect natural resources,” the press release states, through infrastructure that includes energy, water and transportation management, as well as the latest means of urban mobility.

“We are not only opening up the destination for high-profile visitors, but we are also creating the Monaco of the Adriatic,” Alabbar added. “You have this incredible history in the background, alongside what will be a whole new luxury destination. We’ve done a lot of special projects around the world over the years, but I have no doubt that this is one of the best.”

Eagle Hills is currently developing marina projects in Morocco, Bahrain, Jordan, Serbia and the United Arab Emirates that “draw on the latest technologies to build smart and sustainable projects that add significant value to the local economy.”

Durres Marina increases investment

The developers of the durres yachts and marina project have increased the capital of its multi-billion euro project in albania….

Durres Marina has increased its capital following a €7m investment from its majority shareholders, Eagle Hills Real Estate Development, a subsidiary of Emmar Group. 

The ownership structure remains unaffected, with UAE-based Eagle Hills holding a 67% stake and state-owned Albanian Seaports Development Company 33%. 

The increase in capital follows a previous agreement with the Albanian government for the first phase of the development of the Durres Yachts & Marina project, which is predicted to cost over €2bn. 

The latest development from the Durres Marina is part of the larger story of Albania establishing itself as a superyacht hub in the Adriatic.

Durres Marina is one of many that the Government of Albania has expressed commitment to undertaking. As highlighted in the detailed ‘ First National Document on Spatial Planning: ‘Shqipëria 2030’ , published by the government of Albania in 2015, Albania appears committed to re-establishing itself as a vital hub for trade and tourism in the new Europe.

In 2021, SuperyachtNews spoke exclusively with Belinda Balluku , Albania’s minister of infrastructure and energy, about how the development supports a new generation of development in the region.

The 68-year-old man capsized his sailboat in the marina basin and was attempting to swim to shore with his boat when witnesses saw him go under the water, officials said. Park rangers responded and treated a laceration on the man’s leg. Miami-Dade Fire and Rescue transported him to a hospital in stable condition. There was no further information released on his condition.

Rangers and park biologists were investigating and monitoring the suspected crocodile.

A federally threatened species,  crocodiles  are less common than alligators in Florida, although their habitats do overlap. Alligators are darker, have broader snouts and are typically found in freshwater, while crocodiles have narrower, more triangular heads and often prefer coastal, brackish and salt water.
