SVN|Safe Haven Advisors is a founding partner of SVN Marinas, which was formed through the merger of U.S. Marina Brokers and Safe Haven Advisors to create the leading national marina and marine speciality practice. SVN Marinas maintains offices in both New England and Florida that enable us to provide comprehensive coverage for transactions anywhere in the United States, Bahamas or Caribbean. SVN|Safe Haven Advisors also continues its cooperative relationship with MarinasForSale.com and the two firms cooperate when it serves the best interest of our clients. Through our coordinated efforts, the SVN Marinas specialty practice has assembled access to the largest network of marinas & marine property owners, acquirers, investors and lenders.
SVN Marinas is specialized in advising on transactions involving marinas, marine properties and marine businesses. Acquisitions and divestitures of these types of assets require market sector expertise to successfully navigate complex decision sets involving asset selection, utilization, capital allocation, capital resourcing and strategies for profit and cash flow maximization. SVN Marinas specializes in transactions in the marine industry where we have specific sector knowledge and unique capabilities that differentiate us from typical local market firms.
Acquisitions of marina and marine properties is in high demand with activity being driven by a few large national consolidators, strategic acquirers, family offices, and high net worth individuals. Increasingly, we are seeing international and professional investors as potential acquirers of marinas and related properties as they are seeking attractive “safe haven” investments that can be actively or passively managed.
