CVC agrees to sell D-Marin stake to InfraVia

CVC Capital Partners has agreed to sell its stake in D-Marin to InfraVia Capital Partners, PE Hub reported. The transaction moves a yacht-services business with 12 boatyards and more than 2,500 yachts serviced each year toward a new owner focused on further network expansion.

PE Hub did not report financial terms for the agreed sale. The available details identify InfraVia as the incoming buyer of CVC’s holding and D-Marin as the operating platform at the centre of the transaction.

Expansion under CVC

During CVC’s ownership, D-Marin broadened its geographic footprint beyond its established markets in Turkey, Croatia, Greece and the United Arab Emirates, according to PE Hub. The company added operations in Spain, Italy, France, Malta and Albania.

That expansion changed D-Marin from a business concentrated in a smaller set of Mediterranean and Gulf markets into a wider cross-border network. For an operator serving yacht owners, a broader footprint can increase the number of locations available to customers and give the business more points of contact across regional boating routes.

PE Hub reported that D-Marin operates 12 boatyards, which together service more than 2,500 yachts a year. Boatyards are a recurring service component in the yacht market, handling maintenance, repair and other work required to keep vessels operational.

InfraVia’s next step

InfraVia plans to expand D-Marin’s network further, PE Hub reported. The report did not specify which countries or assets InfraVia may target as part of that expansion plan.

The agreed sale is structured as a transfer of CVC’s stake to InfraVia. In practical terms, that means the economic ownership held by CVC would pass to InfraVia once the transaction is completed, subject to the deal terms agreed between the parties.

For CVC, the agreement represents an exit from its investment in D-Marin. For InfraVia, it provides exposure to a marine-services platform already operating across multiple European markets as well as Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

The transaction adds to private capital activity in infrastructure-adjacent services, where investors often focus on networks that combine physical assets with recurring customer demand. PE Hub’s report identified D-Marin’s operating scale, geographic expansion and InfraVia’s stated growth plan as the main disclosed elements of the deal.
