My heartfelt congratulations to the entire team in Turkey for their hard work and passion, which set new benchmarks in marina management. This recognition inspires us to keep raising the bar for our customers, communities, and the environment.”
D-Marin received the top three awards in the ‘Outstanding Marina’ category. Turgutreis secured the gold award for the second consecutive year, while D-Marin Göcek received silver and D-Marin Didim earned the bronze award.
