A semi-submersible floating platform (1, Fig 1) for a wind turbine (50, Fig 1) comprises three columns each having an axis, the columns comprising a primary column 10 adapted to support a wind turbine, and two secondary columns 30a, 30b wherein each one of the three columns is connected to the other two columns by cross members 15a, 15b, 35 in a triangular arrangement. Further, the cross member between the secondary columns incorporates ballast and each of the cross members 15a, 15b connecting to the primary column incorporate buoyancy. The primary column has a larger displacement than either of the two secondary columns and the cross member extending between the secondary columns has a smaller displacement than the cross members connected to the primary column.
