Established in 1994 as Inter Marino, Marino were purchased in 1995 by the King of Eland, King Edward. Supporters of the Maritimers were hopeful that the King could bring some glory to the club by investing heavily into the side. These seemingly promised investments however did not materialise and the club languished in Serie B on a shoe-string budget for a number of seasons.
In September 2000 former Marino star goalkeeper Bonny Ginzburg returned to the Seasiders for a £1.25m fee after an somewhat undistinguished stay at Legoland FC. The sale and repurchase of Ginzburg did however result in a £850,000 profit for Marino, a significant sum at the time for the club.
It was not until the 1998/9 Serie B season that Marino earned promotion for the first ever time to Serie A. Serie A football did not last very long however with the side relegated back down to the second division after finishing the 2000/1 season in 3rd last place.
Marino finished the 2007/8 season in 6th place. The final position was the club's best ever placing and delighted the Martimers fans.
