Buenavista Infrastructure and Nauplia Capital have completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Marina Lanzarote, a leisure marina located in the Bay of Naos, in Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote. Under the new structure, Calero Marinas will remain a shareholder and will continue to jointly manage the asset’s operations alongside Nauplia Capital, ensuring continuity and local expertise.
Marina Lanzarote is a strategic facility that combines three main business lines: 378 rental berths, 84 commercial units and terraces, and the only superyacht shipyard in the Canary Islands, covering an area of 16,920 sqm. Altogether, the marina extends across nearly 100,000 sqm in a prime location on the island.
The transaction has been executed through URUK Capital, a vehicle specialized in the development of marinas in Spain and Portugal, jointly backed by Buenavista and Nauplia Capital.
The closing of the transaction was supported by several advisors: ILV Silver and Ramon y Cajal for the Buyer, and DC Advisory and Cuatrecasas for the Seller, all of whom advised and contributed to the successful execution of the transaction.
Joint commitment to established assets
This transaction marks Uruk’s second acquisition, following the addition of Marina Port Premià to its portfolio in April 2024. Uruk’s partners are thus strengthening their development strategy in the marina sector, which focuses on identifying established assets with potential for operational improvement, long-term appeal, and a strong positioning in Spain and Portugal.
Buenavista Infrastructure
For Buenavista Infraestructuras Iberia, this represents the fourth addition to its portfolio. The existing portfolio includes the Autovía del Eresma, a shadow-toll highway connecting Segovia and Cuéllar with daily traffic exceeding 9,000 vehicles; Xoople, a company specializing in surface data collection for applications in artificial intelligence related to transportation, civil engineering, and climate change; and Marina Port Premià, located 20 km from Barcelona and added to the portfolio in April 2024.
Juan José Clavería, Managing Partner at Buenavista Infrastructure, stated: “With the acquisition of this asset, we are strengthening our commitment to the leisure marina sector, which we consider highly attractive due to its low risk profile, stable recurring income, and solid returns. This new project is an important step toward our objective of building a diversified portfolio for our low-risk infrastructure fund, delivering adequate returns.”
