Why Rafmarin?
An alternative to the marina for boats in Istanbul: an enclosed, multi-level, supervised rack facility. Your boat waits on a dry, safe rack instead of in the water.
The rack system
The rack system: the best place to protect a boat
The real question of owning a boat in Istanbul is not the boat but where it waits. We answered it with a system proven around the world for years: indoor rack storage.
At Rafmarin every boat waits on its own cradle in the rack section assigned to its class. The multi-level steel racks are engineered to the seismic code; boats never touch each other, and the hull never touches water, salt or sun. Placement and retrieval are done by forklift together with the cradle; no strap or hook touches the hull.
Give us a day's notice; your boat is taken off its rack, washed and waiting for you at the ramp. Every day you are not using it, it is dry, safe and supervised.
You at sea, we as your guarantee of protection.
