More than 10 yacht marinas for more than 100 million Euro are planned to be constructed during the next few years along the Bulgarian Black sea coast. This became clear on the yachting conference in Riviera, held at the end of August this year. Some of the projects are already in process of construction; the others are still projects, awaiting construction permits. If the plans of the investors are fulfilled, we can expect a yacht marina in most of the biggest Black sea resorts in the country.

At the moment just 10 fully equipped marinas are operating. These are the marinas in Balchik, Golden sands, St. Vlas, Nessebar, Sozopol, Sunny Beach and etc. There are projects for the construction of new marinas in Nessebar, Soozopol, Tsarevo, Ahtopol as well as improvement of some of the existing ports.

Marina Nessebar is expected to be completed for the next tourism season. New shops, restaurants, customs and border control post will be opened by the end of the spring next year. A two-leveled parking lot will service tourists. The investments in the project are estimated to cost 70 million BGN. The project is financed by YachtingBG and the Italian yacht producer Azimut Group. The funds will be provided by the leasing company Hypo Group Alpe Ardia. Half of the capacity of the marina will be able to accept 17 m yachts, 20% for mega yachts from 30 – 50 m and 10% of the port is designed for small boats.

The investors expect to attract yachtsmen with boats for more than 1 million Euros. According to them the project will have a positive impact on the tourism development in the region. Experts predict longer active tourism season and rise of the prices of properties located in close proximity to the marina.
The construction of modern yacht ports is a compulsory condition for the development of the yacht tourism in Bulgaria.

Balchik also plans a modernization and reconstruction of the already existing marina in town. The existing marina can welcome 100 yachts and investors plan to increase the capacity of the port with additional 100 – 150 yachts.

Another project that is almost completed is the construction if yacht marina in Sozopol. At the moment the marina has a capacity for 200 boats. By the end of next year the company will invest in the construction of additional pontoons. A brand new and modern trade centre will be constructed close to the marina in October.
This year yachts for 60 million euro were sold in Bulgaria. Experts expect to double the sales this year.
