harbor for small boats and yachts
A place near the water where many small boats and yachts are kept and serviced.
Gebruikspatroon:
[someone] keeps [a boat] at [a marina]
Veelgemaakte fout:
Learners often confuse "marina" with "port" or "harbor". A "marina" is usually for small, private or pleasure boats and often has services like fuel, showers, and restaurants. A "port" or "harbor" can be much larger and is often for commercial ships and cargo. Learners also sometimes say *"we went to the marina port"*; usually you just say "we went to the marina" or "we went to the port," not both together.
Synoniemen
harbor (More general; can be for commercial ships as well as small boats, not only for leisure craft.)
|
dockyard (Usually more industrial or commercial, often for shipbuilding or repair, not mainly for pleasure boats.)
|
boatyard (Focuses on repair and storage of boats; may or may not have the full visitor facilities of a marina.)
Antoniemen
open water (Refers to parts of a sea or lake not protected by a harbor or marina; the opposite of a sheltered, serviced area.)
