InfraVia Capital Partners agrees to acquire D-Marin from CVC Capital Partners for over €1bn in marina sector deal

InfraVia Capital Partners, a European infrastructure-focused private equity manager, has agreed to acquire D-Marin, an international premium marina operator, from CVC Capital Partners for over €1 billion. The transaction represents a significant infrastructure buyout in the leisure and maritime sector, with the deal transferring ownership of a marina portfolio from one major private equity house to another. D-Marin operates marinas across the Mediterranean and broader European coastal markets, making it an attractive infrastructure asset given the stable, fee-based cash flows that marina operations typically generate. CVC, one of Europe's largest private equity firms, has been a seller in a period when infrastructure assets with predictable revenue streams command strong valuations. InfraVia, which focuses on infrastructure equity investments across Europe, is acquiring an asset that fits its core strategy of owning long-duration, regulated or concession-backed physical assets. Marina operators benefit from high barriers to entry, constrained coastal real estate supply, and growing demand from leisure boating and superyacht markets. The deal reflects a broader trend of infrastructure-focused funds targeting non-traditional asset classes, including ports and marinas, as core infrastructure valuations in energy and transport have become highly competitive.
