The marina, which has a capacity to accommodate 750 boats, was opened on May 29 with its 3 stages. In the marina, which started to serve with two pontoons, the construction of other pontoons and the dry dock area continues. The dry dock is planned to be put into service next year.
Viaport Marina, which was realized with the contributions of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and Tuzla Municipality with an investment of 1 billion TL and is described as the only marina in the world with 6 functions, has started to serve with its shopping center on the islets located on the sea, a theme park with two of the world's fastest roller coasters and a marina with a capacity of 750 boats. Boat reservations are now being taken at Viaport Marina, which is 7.8 miles from Yalova and 8 miles from the islands.
In the marina, which has started to serve with two slips, the construction of the other slips and the dry dock area continues. We have been informed that a principle agreement has been reached with KRM Yacht for the dry dock operations and CSY Marine as the only store selling yacht materials and accessories in the marina. Designed with an unprecedented concept, the project has details that will bring people together with the sea. Designed to be open to the public and to be one of Turkey's vision projects in terms of tourism, Viaport Marina offers entertainment, sea, shopping and social life together. Designed as a sheltered and natural marina, Viaport Marina is an environmentally friendly and safe structure.
All roofs of Viaport Marina, which has a design intertwined with nature with its structure located in greenery, are covered with blue tiles specially brought from Germany to offer a visual integrated with the sea.
The world's “bests” meet in this project
Stating that the features located in Viaport Marina are not found in any other marina in the world, Coşkun Bayraktar, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Via Properties, said: “When we look at all the examples in the world, marinas are always designed away from people. We have designed a project that will reconcile people with the sea.” Stating that he has visited nearly 80 marinas around the world, Bayraktar said, ’Viaport Marina is not just a marina project like other marinas.“.
Two roller coasters coming with ViaSEA
Red Fire, one of the fastest roller coasters in the world, which was brought to Turkey and the installation was completed, will be able to carry 630 people in 1 hour on a 55-meter-high, 980-meter rail system. Along with Red Fire, the second roller coaster named Family Coaster will also take its place at ViaSEA.

Viaport Marina Express is on its way
Bayraktar said, “With the Havaray project, which will be realized with the contributions of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, our visitors will reach our project in a very short time. We will also organize direct boat services from Yalova. The Nostalgia Express, with its design from the 80s, which is found in theme parks in Europe, will carry our visitors to our project free of charge along the 3-4 kilometer line on the Tuzla coast as the Viaport Marina Express.’ Bayraktar stated that they expect 15 million local and foreign visitors to the project in the first year, and that they aim to increase this figure to 25 million in the second year.
