Mirazur Capital takes control of Marina Port Vell in Barcelona

Mirazur Capital, an alternative investment management firm headquartered in Monaco with offices in Madrid and Luxembourg, has become the majority shareholder of Marina Port Vell, one of the leading superyacht marinas in the Mediterranean, after acquiring a 52% stake in the company from Qatari investment fund QInvest

The transaction, as stated by Marina Port Vell, is part of a long-term strategy aimed at driving “the growth and consolidation of a premium marina platform and developing a differentiated value proposition based on operational excellence and service quality.”

As part of this strategy, Mirazur Capital will retain the current management team at the helm of the marina, preserving the governance model that has made Marina Port Vell “an international benchmark in the industry.”

Barcelona model with international reach

The selection of Marina Port Vell, according to the company, “is a clear recognition of the ambitious transformation carried out since 2021.” During this period, the marina has implemented an investment plan exceeding €20 million to expand its capacity for large yachts, strengthen its international positioning, and enhance its standards of quality, operational efficiency, and sustainability.

Thanks to this evolution, Marina Port Vell states it has established itself as “one of the leading superyacht marinas in the Mediterranean.”

“La incorporación de Mirazur Capital supone un reconocimiento al trabajo realizado por todo el equipo durante los últimos años y nos da los medios para seguir creciendo, manteniendo la excelencia que nos define,” says Ignacio Erroz, Managing Director of Marina Port Vell. “It demonstrates the strength of the model developed in Barcelona and the ability of a marina integrated into its environment to become an international benchmark. We face this new stage with the ambition of consolidating Barcelona as one of the world’s major capitals of the sector and leading the development of the platform,” he adds.

A global strategy focused on superyacht marinas

For Mirazur Capital, the transaction “marks a milestone in its investment strategy in premium marinas located in top-tier nautical destinations, with the Mediterranean as its core market and an international growth ambition.” The firm’s objective is to “acquire and develop high-quality assets, create long-term value, and drive the professionalization of the sector.”

Marcos Pellejero, Managing Partner at Mirazur Capital, states: “Rara vez se presenta la oportunidad de invertir en un activo verdaderamente irremplazable: una ubicación única en el corazón de Barcelona, una marca de prestigio internacional y un equipo extraordinario. The acquisition of Marina Port Vell strengthens our superyacht marina platform and our growth strategy in the Mediterranean. Our approach combines a long-term vision with the ambition to raise industry standards, drive its professionalization, and establish it as an institutional asset class.”
