Dilmunia Marina, a waterfront site in northern Dilmunia, is nearing its opening date as its stakeholders have signed an operational deal.
Masar Group, a subsidiary of Mumtalakat Holding Company, and Ithmaar Development Company have come to an agreement on the marina’s management and operation, as was announced during the Gateway Gulf 2026 Investment Forum.
The Marina, scheduled for a December 2026 opening, will operate at a capacity of 121 berths. The property is expected to feature dry storage services, a water transport station, and a public promenade.
The site, which began construction in January 2026, covers an area of 15,000 sqm, with its design and engineering overseen by United Trading Marine, in collaboration with Poralu Marine and Rolec Services. A February update revealed the installation of floating pontoons.
The project aims to accelerate Bahrain’s marine tourism sector.
“We are pleased to sign the agreement to manage and operate Dilmunia Marina, which represents an important milestone in Masar Group’s strategy to expand its presence in the management and operation of marine facilities and contribute to the development of integrated marine destinations across the Kingdom of Bahrain. Through this agreement, we look forward to developing an advanced range of marine and leisure services and leveraging innovative solutions to enhance operational efficiency and elevate customer experience, supporting the growth of marine tourism and strengthening the Kingdom’s position in this vital sector,” said Eng. Yousif Khalifa Al Manea, Chief Executive Officer of Masar Group.
“Dilmunia Marina represents a promising development that will contribute to strengthening Bahrain’s marine tourism and leisure offering through facilities and services that support the development of waterfront destinations and enhance the visitor experience. We believe in the importance of collaborating with specialized operators to develop and manage projects in accordance with high standards of quality and efficiency, ensuring that the project’s potential is fully realized and its added value maximized,” added Nayef Naser Al Naser, Managing Director and Board Member at Ithmaar Development.
