Cenk Bircan, general manager of Palmarina Bodrum, commented: “Today’s marina management standards and rising expectations have forced marinas to go beyond the expectations in terms of infrastructure, technical services, social and cultural services.”

Positioned along the Turkish Riviera, also known as the Turquoise Coast, which is famous for its fabulous beaches, mountainous backdrops and significant historical sites, Palmarina Bodrum was completely rebuilt and reconstructed in May 2011 by PALMALI Group, to accommodate the increasing demand for superyacht berths. It is the largest marina in the region in terms of mooring capacity, with space for 620 boats in total, providing more than 70 berths for superyachts measuring 50 metres and above.
