Superyacht Basin

Porto-Vecchio Marina expansion

The expansion of the Porto-Vecchio Marina incorporates two distinct areas: a basin for recreational vessels up to 20 meters and a new basin designed for superyachts ranging from 20 to over 100 meters in length overall. Despite the protection provided by the breakwater, existing residual wave action required an infrastructure with high stability and resilience.
MSI supplied MSI-SF Marina floating concrete pontoons, selected for their high mass and structural performance, secured via galvanized steel pile guides with elastomeric elements. The pontoons feature a central utility trench acting as an access floor, covered with wooden decking, designed to house and expand the services required by superyachts.
Manufactured entirely at the SF Marina plant in Wallhamn and delivered via maritime transport, this solution optimizes logistics and reduces the carbon footprint, further establishing Porto-Vecchio as a premier superyacht destination in the Mediterranean.
