D-MARIN MARSA AL ARAB MARINA CELEBRATES TRIPLE INDUSTRY RECOGNITION FOR EXCELLENCE
D-Marin, the premium marina network has announced that its Marsa Al Arab Marina in Dubai has received three of the industry’s highest international distinctions: TYHA’s 5 Gold Anchor Award, the Clean Marina accreditation and the Superyacht Ready certification.
Renowned for its exclusive berthing facilities and hospitality-led approach, Marsa Al Arab Marina has been awarded the prestigious 5 Gold Anchor status, the highest recognition presented by The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA). The accolade is reserved for marinas that consistently demonstrate exceptional customer service, first-class amenities and outstanding operational standards.
Situated in a prime waterfront location beside Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, the marina has also achieved Superyacht Ready accreditation. This certification confirms its ability to accommodate large luxury yachts while providing the infrastructure, accessibility and premium services expected by superyacht owners, captains and crew.
Further reinforcing its commitment to responsible marina management, Marsa Al Arab Marina has been awarded the Clean Marina accreditation. The recognition highlights its strong environmental credentials, including effective waste management, pollution prevention measures and ongoing initiatives to protect the surrounding marine ecosystem.
Commenting on the achievement, Selcuk Balci, Managing Director at D-Marin, said: “These internationally recognised accreditations demonstrate D-Marin’s continued commitment to delivering world-class marina experiences, exceptional customer service and the highest standards of environmental responsibility. As one of the flagship destinations within the D-Marin network, Marsa Al Arab Marina continues to raise the benchmark for excellence across the region and internationally.”
Michael Heyes, Chief Financial Officer at Dubai Holding Hospitality, added: “These recognitions reflect the vision behind Marsa Al Arab Marina and further strengthen its reputation as one of the region’s leading marina destinations. Our longstanding partnership with D-Marin is built on a shared commitment to delivering exceptional experiences, and together we continue to elevate marina standards while reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for luxury tourism.”
The three international accreditations further establish Marsa Al Arab Marina as a leading destination for both leisure boaters and the global superyacht community, highlighting the premium hospitality, advanced digital services and world-class facilities that define D-Marin’s international marina portfolio.
The latest achievements follow the marina’s success at the 2025 Abu Dhabi Maritime Awards, where it received the Gold Award for Outstanding Emerging Marina, further reinforcing its growing reputation for excellence.
