The marina was designed by the French architect François Spoerry, known for his work on Port Grimaud.
The development uses a system of canals that brings the Aegean Sea deep into the residential living areas.
It maintains a deep-draft channel specifically designed to support the local luxury yachting community.
The project was envisioned as a 'Venice of the Aegean' to combine maritime lifestyle with Mediterranean housing.
Port Alacati Marina is a specialized yachting hub located on the Aegean coast of the Çeşme Peninsula in Türkiye. The facility features a unique canal-based architectural layout that allows boats to dock directly in front of private villas. It functions as a full-service marina providing mooring for yachts up to 30 meters in length. The site integrates luxury residential units with commercial docks and waterfront promenade dining areas. It is designed to accommodate the local wind conditions, as the area is globally recognized for windsurfing and sailing activities. The marina environment is protected by a breakwater system that ensures calm water conditions for vessels regardless of the exterior sea state.
