A marina is a facility designed for docking and storing boats and yachts. It typically includes various amenities such as fuel stations, repair services, and sometimes restaurants or shops. Marinas can be found in coastal areas, lakes, and rivers, providing safe harbor for recreational and commercial vessels. In addition to boat storage, marinas often offer services like boat rentals and sailing lessons. They serve as social hubs for boating enthusiasts, where people can gather, share experiences, and participate in events. Many marinas are located near popular tourist destinations, enhancing the appeal of water sports and fishing.
