Levent Marina sits on the south shore of the Gulf of İzmir, inside the city. For a purchase here we plan the survey as an afloat inspection and sea trial, with a haul-out for the hull. We work from Dikili, so the gulf is home water.
1. At a glance: Levent Marina
- Location: Üçkuyular, Balçova; on the south shore of the Gulf of İzmir, inside the city.
- Opened: 1991.
- Haul-out: no travel lift; boats are hauled on a slipway. When needed, the haul-out is planned at Teos or Çeşme.
- Nearby slipway: the municipal slipway at Güzelbahçe is 7 miles west by sea.
- Travel charge: none; this is within our home area.
Figures as of October 2026 from the marina and public sources. Before a haul-out, the boat’s weight, beam and draught are sent to the facility in writing.
2. How a survey works at Levent Marina
There is no travel lift at Levent Marina; the local yard hauls boats on a slipway. So the afloat inspection and sea trial come first, and the hull and moisture readings are done after a haul-out either on the slipway or at Teos Marina or Çeşme Marina outside the gulf.
3. What we look at here
- Gulf water: fouling builds faster inside the gulf, so raw-water intakes, strainers and the cooling circuit get extra attention.
- Boats left in the city: battery bank, shore power connection and leakage current are measured, and anodes checked for galvanic corrosion.
- Low hours, long idle: hoses, belts and fuel tank sediment matter on engines with few hours but many years.

5. Planning and report
For a quote, send the model, year, length and whether the boat is ashore or afloat. The haul-out is booked around the marina's schedule; for reliable moisture readings the boat dries for at least a week ashore. The sea trial is run in open water off the marina, in the calmer morning hours. The photo report, with findings graded A-B-C, follows within 2-3 working days.
6. Fee
The fee at Levent Marina comes from the same formula as our calculator: length in feet × €22.5, multiplied by the type and age factors. Levent Marina is in our home area, so no travel charge is added. The figures below are for boats 6-15 years old, sea trial included, excluding VAT.
| Length | Sailing yacht | Motor yacht | Catamaran |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 ft | €750 | €950 | €1,200 |
| 35 ft | €850 | €1,150 | €1,400 |
| 40 ft | €1,000 | €1,300 | €1,600 |
| 45 ft | €1,100 | €1,450 | €1,800 |
| 50 ft | €1,250 | €1,600 | €2,000 |
For boats 0-5 years old the fee is about 9 percent lower; over 15 years about 14 percent higher. A detailed engine inspection is an optional add-on (€400-750 per engine by size). Haul-out, slipway and crane charges follow the marina tariff and are listed separately. For your own boat: survey cost calculator; for a delivery from here: delivery cost calculator.
