Marinedi Group acquires a controlling interest in Marina of Brindisi

Marinedi Group, a leading tourist port operator in Italy and the Mediterranean, is pleased to announce the acquisition of a controlling interest in Marina of Brindisi, one of the leading tourist ports in the Adriatic and already part of the Marinedi network.

The transaction represents the conclusion of a process started in the past years, during which the Group ensured the operational continuity and development of the port following the bankruptcy crisis of the previous majority shareholder. Thanks to Marinedi’s intervention, the revocation of the state concession was avoided and a process of growth in the services provided was initiated, which saw an increase in turnover of more than 90% in just three years, bringing the port to more than 80% occupancy.

This action is part of the Group’s broader growth plan aimed at consolidating its presence in strategic areas of the Mediterranean, providing high quality standards, innovative services and an increasingly integrated marina network.

With its privileged location and equipped with modern infrastructure, the Marina of Brindisi represents a strategic hub for pleasure boating and international nautical tourism. The port can accommodate vessels of up to 90m overall length, ensuring safety, comfort and a high level of hospitality.

“We are proud to welcome the Marina of Brindisi to the Group”, said Renato Marconi, CEO and founder of Marinedi Group. “This acquisition, which follows the important transaction on the purchase of the receivables due to the previous majority shareholder, represents the conclusion of a process that has made it possible to safeguard the future of the port concession company and ensure its development. In three years, thanks to the efforts of our Group, we have recorded an increase In turnover of more than 90%, with the port almost completely filled. Today, with full control and financial security in place, we can look to the future with a long-term development plan, which also includes the expansion of berths-particularly for maxi-yachts-strengthening Brindisi as the main hub of the Lower Adriatic and Ionian Sea.”

“By becoming a full member of the Marinedi Group, the Marina of Brindisi will continue to benefit from the Group’s experience and know-how”, said Director Claudio Gorelli, Chairman of the Marina. “In addition, thanks to operational and commercial synergies, the port will be able to continue its growth path, started a few years ago with important results in terms of occupancy, obtained by careful management and the commitment of all employees. in the coming months, a redevelopment project will be presented, in collaboration with the Municipality of Brindisi and the Port Authority, aimed at generating a positive impact on the satellite activities and the development of the local area.”
