Operating a commercial marina, deep-water yacht basin, or full-service boatyard means managing wet slip dock leases, dry stack boat storage barns, heavy marine travelift equipment, fuel dock dispensing compliance, and state submerged land lease permits. You own an irreplaceable waterfront commercial asset protected by extreme geographic and environmental permitting barriers to entry. Institutional marina aggregators and private equity infrastructure funds aggressively acquire marinas due to recurring annual slip rental cash flow (>95% occupancy), high boat owner switching costs, and strong secondary revenue from fuel, ship store retail, and certified marine service repairs. Buyers evaluate your wet slip count, dry rack capacity, submerged land lease longevity, and environmental compliance records. At Aria Business Advisors, we articulate your waterfront cash flow to command peak valuation multiples.
How Aria Values Your Marinas Company
Marina valuations are driven by trailing 12-month Net Operating Income (NOI), wet slip and dry rack occupancy above 95%, submerged land lease longevity (20+ years), and marine service margins. Marina properties typically trade at capitalization rates between 6.0% and 8.0% (or 7.0x to 12.0x+ EBITDA).
