Through this initiative, 2,500 direct jobs are expected to be created by 2030. The project seeks to link the Mediterranean with the eastern seaboard of Africa.

Musa Mbhele, eThekwini City Manager, stated, “The KZN Superyacht Marina is not just about berthing boats. It is about industrial development, skills transfer, and positioning Durban as the gateway to the Indian Ocean superyacht circuit. By hosting YARE and working with global partners such as Navigo, we are turning our maritime heritage into a high-value economic engine for the city and its residents.”
