マリーナ

まりーな

noun

marina (harbor for pleasure boats)

1. marina — a small harbor or dock designed for pleasure boats and yachts

A harbor facility specifically for yachts, motorboats, and other pleasure craft, typically including mooring berths, fueling stations, and clubhouse facilities. Distinguished from a general commercial or fishing port.

Loanword from English 'marina', ultimately from Italian 'marina' ('coast; shore'). Written with a long-vowel mark (ー) after マリ, reflecting the English pronunciation.

Usage

Refers to a facility for recreational boating, not to commercial or fishing ports.
Commonly found in resort-area names (e.g., 横浜(よこはま)ベイサイドマリーナ) and in the names of condominiums or residential developments built beside such harbors.
Often paired with related loanwords like ヨットハーバー, which overlaps with マリーナ but emphasizes sailing yachts specifically.
