Lagos Marina has launched a €12.5 million expansion project including 102 new berths for boats between 10 and 30 metres.

Construction began on the 12th of February, with the first phase expected to be completed by September 2026. The new berths will increase capacity in the outer harbour, on top of the marina’s current 474 yacht spaces.

In addition, as a compensation for taking to ormer fishing areas, marina management company Marlagos is investing €3 million to provide 55 berths for professional fishing vessels, 30 fishing warehouses of more than 400 square metres, 170 spaces for local recreational boats with floating pontoons, and 41 berths for the Lagos Sailing Club, which will also gain new facilities.

Marina administrator Martinho Fortunato told Lusa news agency that the project will also help regenerate a neglected part of the town and will extend beyond the water, including surrounding areas.

“We will also create fishing gear storage, 135 parking spaces, a Yacht Club (event centre and nautical activities hub) and eight commercial spaces,” he explained.  The design of the new Yacht club is shown below.
