Drawing on expertise gained from its collaboration with Spain’s  Ronautica S.A, Ronautica Middle East has become a trusted name in marina management and nautical services.  After its incorporation, the Company quickly established itself as a regional authority in the marine industry, spearheading the region’s luxury boating business.

They include the marina at Porto Arabia which can moor 782 vessels and is able to accommodate yachts of up to 100 meters long. More importantly, the marina provides access to an innovative vacuum sewage system set at every mega yacht’s berth. These world-class marina facilities allowed The Pearl-Qatar to win CNBC’s International Award for Marina Development in 2007.

Plans for the Porto Arabia marina comprise a state-of-the-art system of on-dock fueling for the Island’s mega yachts and a fueling berth located at the marina’s entrance.

In addition to developing the Island’s marina infrastructure, Ronautica Middle East provides The Pearl-Qatar with a full range of premier services.
