Salamanca harbours Barcelona marina for €30m

The UK-headquartered private equity firm took the marina from FCC, one of Spain’s largest construction companies, as the latter sets about disposing of a number of non-core assets.

Salamanca aims to transform the port to ape that of Monaco’s, with plans for a “super yacht base” that will play host to some of the world’s largest privately owned yachts.

Uri Nachoom, executive director of Salamanca, said that, through design optimisation, the marina will come to include more than 45 super yachts of more than 50 metres in length, while the firm's CEO, Martin Bellamy, added that while Monaco has an established reputation, Barcelona has even more to offer.

Salamanca focuses on “real assets”, investing in the real estate, mining and industrial sectors.
