Top Ten Most Expensive Marinas

Via Luxist by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) Apr 18th 2010 at 6:00PM

Wealth Bulletin has assembled a list of the most expensive places to berth your superyacht for an evening, and we’re sure you’ll be amazed to find that seven of them are in Europe, six being in Italy or France, and the top three is an Italian shut-out. Capri comes in number one, with little slice of lapis-blue water running €2,900 ($3,914 U.S.) per night. Porto Cervo, in Sardinia, and Portofino round out the podium spots.

Ibiza, Spain of all places is next on the list and last to break the €2,000 barrier, with peak season costing you €2,300 (€3,104 U.S.) for a night of partying and port-of-calling. From there the price drop is steep, France’s St. Tropez requiring “just” €1,300 ($1,754 U.S.) to sleep on the water. The home team gets a showing in Miami, and if you’re looking for a bargain then you’ll want to head to Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island Marina, a bargain at €421 per night – might want to make sure those tanks are full, though…
