What does MARINA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A harbour built and equipped specifically for small boats and yachts, offering moorings, docks, and other facilities for pleasure craft.
A marina differs from an ordinary harbour mainly in purpose: it exists chiefly to shelter and service small leisure boats and yachts rather than fishing or commercial vessels. Beyond simple moorings, a well-equipped marina usually offers fuel, electricity, fresh water, and repair facilities for the boats kept there. The word reached English from Spanish and Italian, both of which used a related term for things connected with the sea, and many coastal towns built or expanded a marina once recreational sailing became widely popular.
