Investment firms Buenavista Infrastructure and Nauplia Capital have acquired a controlling interest in Marina Lanzarote, a leisure marina situated in the Bay of Naos, Arrecife – the capital of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.
As part of the new ownership structure, local operator Calero Marinas remains a shareholder and will continue to co-manage the marina’s day-to-day operations in partnership with Nauplia Capital.
The arrangement is designed to ensure operational continuity and preserve local knowledge as the asset enters a new phase of development and investment.
Marina Lanzarote provides 378 rental berths, 84 commercial units and terraces, and the only superyacht shipyard in the Canary Islands, covering an area of 16,920sqm. Altogether, the marina extends across nearly 100,000sqm.
Finalised in July 2025, the transaction was executed through URUK Capital and marks a significant development in the region’s marina sector and ongoing growth in nautical infrastructure across Spain and Portugal.
Backed by Buenavista and Nauplia Capital, URUK has now added Marina Lanzarote to its portfolio, following its acquisition of Marina Port Premià near Barcelona in April 2024. URUK’s partners are thus strengthening their development strategy in the marina sector, which focuses on identifying established assets with potential for operational improvement, long-term appeal, and a strong positioning in Spain and Portugal.
The closing of the transaction was supported by several advisors: ILV Silver and Ramon y Cajal for the buyer, and DC Advisory and Cuatrecasas for the seller.
Buenavista Infrastructure
For Buenavista Infraestructuras Iberia, this represents the fourth addition to its portfolio. The existing portfolio includes the Autovía del Eresma, a shadow-toll highway connecting Segovia and Cuéllar; Xoople, a company specialising in surface data collection for applications in artificial intelligence related to transportation, civil engineering, and climate change; and Marina Port Premià, located 20km from Barcelona and added to the portfolio in April 2024.
Juan José Clavería, Managing Partner at Buenavista Infrastructure, says: “With the acquisition of this asset, we are strengthening our commitment to the leisure marina sector, which we consider highly attractive due to its low risk profile, stable recurring income, and solid returns. This new project is an important step toward our objective of building a diversified portfolio for our low-risk infrastructure fund, delivering adequate returns.”
