Description

A marina (from Spanish [ma--ina], Portuguese [ma--in-] and Italian [ma-ri-na]: marina, "coast" or "shore") is a dock or basin with moorings and supplies for yachts and small boats. A marina differs from a port in that a marina does not handle large passenger ships or cargo from freighters.
