The Investment Case
A rare combination of constrained supply, durable demand, and multiple income streams — in one of the most desirable geographies in North America.
New marina development requires waterfront land, environmental permits, and years of regulatory approval. The number of US marinas has declined for years while the registered boat fleet grows.
Median US marina occupancy sits at 92%, with 56% of marinas reporting above 95%. With 12 registered boats per available slip nationally, waiting lists are common in PNW markets.
Well-positioned marinas can draw income from slip rental, dry storage, fuel sales, haul-out services, and transient dockage. EBITDA margins for well-run marinas reach 20–40% — comparable to top-tier self-storage. Each asset is different; understanding which revenue levers are active or available is central to underwriting.
Marinas with on-site amenities — restaurants, cafes, ship stores, boat rentals, and event space — can meaningfully increase revenue per visitor and extend the operating season. Amenity development is often one of the first value-creation levers available to a new owner.
Blackstone, Bain Capital, and Stonepeak are all active. The top 2 operators own less than 2.5% of the market — consolidation is early and opportunity remains wide open for regional buyers.
