Delta Marina

What Delta Marina does

Delta Marina BV is a privately held Dutch full-service marina operator headquartered at Veerdam 3, Kortgene on the Veerse Meer in Zeeland, Netherlands. Founded as a small family harbor in 1957 and formally developed into a 300-yacht marina in 1961 by Kees Becht, the company has grown over six decades into a multi-revenue facility spanning an inner harbor (Binnenhaven) and large harbor (Grote haven), winter storage for up to 220 vessels, a 16-ton crane, and a service center that has operated as an authorized Volvo Penta dealer for over 40 years. The marina serves private boat owners, transient cruisers, water-sports tourists, and chalet park guests, with Blue Flag and Green Pennant environmental certifications renewed as of 2025.

Delta Marina's product offering centers on a tiered berth subscription model (annual contracts from April 1 to April 1 with 25/25/50 installment payments, plus seasonal and daily transit moorings across box sizes from 5.5m to 18m), supported by a service center providing Volvo Penta engine work, HotVac osmosis treatment, painting, hull and rigging repairs at €92.75/hour, winter and summer storage, and a 24-hour-access on-site watersports shop stocking brands such as Dubarry, Helly Hansen and Musto plus Flexima custom boat mattresses. An embedded ecosystem of partner businesses — restaurant 't Veeruus, Schepenkring yacht brokerage, C-MASTERS RYA training, Waterfront Jachtcharter and Sloep & Meer rentals, and TackTronics marine electronics — operates from within the marina complex, supplemented by community programs through the Delta Marina Social Club (DMSC, founded 2020) and reciprocal network benefits via Seven Sisters and Trans Europe Marinas (73 European marinas).

The company generates revenue through subscription berth contracts, storage fees, service center labor and parts, retail hardware sales, and affiliate commissions from on-site rental partners. Pricing is publicly disclosed, includes 21% VAT, and operates under HISWA general conditions. Distribution is dominated by direct sales at the harbor office and online reservations via deltamarina.nl, with reach extending across the Netherlands and into Belgium and broader Europe through marina networks. Headcount is in the 11–50 range, the company is recognized as an 'erkend leerbedrijf' (recognized training company) offering MBO and HBO internships, and ownership remains with the founding Becht family; no funding rounds, M&A activity, or parent company structure is disclosed in the source data.
