Berlin Marina

The range of services combines three revenue streams in a single location:

Marina operations: Rental of berths for recreational boats and yachts, as well as parking spaces for RVs, supplemented by related marina services.

Tourism rentals: Rental of existing vacation apartments to short-term guests, with a direct connection to port operations.

Real Estate and Development Potential: The existing land reserves allow for the construction of a total of three city villas based on the preliminary building permit, or alternatively, use for vacation apartments or business expansions.

• Permanent and seasonal boaters from Berlin and Brandenburg (owners of recreational boats and yachts)
• RV travelers and short-term guests, primarily during the high season
• Guests staying in vacation rentals, primarily city travelers and leisure tourists from German-speaking countries

Customer relationships in the marina business are predominantly long-term and generate recurring revenue with low turnover.

From a market perspective, the location benefits from the ongoing demand for waterfront living and local recreational tourism in the greater Berlin area. Waterfront properties with secured building rights are available only in very limited quantities within Berlin’s urban area.

There are a manageable number of comparable port locations within Berlin’s waterway network. The company’s competitive position is based primarily on:

• the prime location in an exclusive residential area near the water with good access to Berlin's city center
• its own waterfront and thus independent control over access to the water
• the combination of harbor operations, RV parking spaces, and tourist rentals in a single location
• Land reserves secured under building regulations that are not available to competitors in this location

New competitors along the waterfront find it difficult to establish themselves due to limited land availability and restrictive permitting practices.
