M-Marinas by Porto Montenegro has completed its management term with Nakheel Marinas, now part of Dubai Holding, having fulfilled its operational and strategic mandate under the Marina Management Agreement.
Over the past two years, M-Marinas has applied its international expertise to improve performance across both Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Islands Marinas, delivering year-on-year growth in occupancy and profitability while raising service standards and operational consistency.
At Palm Jumeirah, previously under-activated facilities were repositioned as active member-focused hubs with a full calendar of social and on-water events. Dubai Islands Marina, launched from a standing start with no surrounding development, achieved strong early occupancy and visibility, most recently highlighted by the Pink October Parade flotilla.
During its tenure, M-Marinas introduced new operational systems, staff training frameworks and customer-service processes based on its award-winning practices in Porto Montenegro, helping to lift overall service, safety and customer experience standards across the portfolio.
This handover aligns with Nakheel’s integration into Dubai Holding, marking a natural transition as the marinas enter their next phase under the Group’s wider leisure-marine strategy.
“We were brought in to enhance performance, raise standards and activate the marinas, and under the leadership of General Mangers – Gregg Davis and Oliver Rees, we achieved that,” said Tony Browne, Director of Marinas. “The assets are now stronger, better performing and well-positioned for their next chapter under Dubai Holding.”
M-Marinas thanks the berth-holders, staff and partners who contributed to these improvements as the company continues expanding the M-Marinas network internationally.
