Usage tips
Compound word
'Yachthafen' (marina) is made up of 'Yacht' (yacht) and 'Hafen' (harbor). It therefore refers to a harbor equipped for yachts and other recreational boats.
EXAMPLE

There are many small sailboats moored in the marina.
Typical collocations
'Yachthafen' (marina) is often used with boating verbs: 'in einen Yachthafen einlaufen' (to enter a marina), 'im Yachthafen anlegen' (to dock in the marina), or 'einen Liegeplatz im Yachthafen mieten' (to rent a berth in the marina).
EXAMPLE
Am Nachmittag lief unser Boot in den Yachthafen ein.

Location and direction
To describe being there, 'im Yachthafen' (in the marina) is usually used; for movement toward it, use 'in den Yachthafen' (into the marina). The preposition 'in' takes different grammatical cases here: the dative for location and the accusative for direction.

Morgen fahren wir in den Yachthafen zurück.
