ss=”rank-math-highlight” style=”background-color: #fee894″>Our expertise extends to marina sales across various regions, including the U.S. & Caribbean.
In the U.S., marina sales are driven by various factors such as location, amenities, and market demand. For instance, marinas in Florida often attract boaters due to their proximity to popular tourist destinations and year-round warm weather. In contrast, northern marinas may appeal to customers seeking seasonal boat storage and access to lakes and rivers. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for buyers and sellers in the marina industry.
Our team of specialized advisors is skilled in identifying opportunities within the marina sector. With a global network of buyers and investors, we ensure that clients are matched with appropriate partners for successful transactions. This network includes institutional investors, private equity firms, and individuals looking to expand their marine business portfolios.
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.
Valuation is a critical part of the marina sales process. Our financial analysis considers factors such as current market trends, historical performance, and future potential of marine properties. For example, a marina with a strong history of high occupancy rates may command a higher price due to its demonstrated profitability.
During due-diligence preparation, we assist clients in reviewing all necessary documentation, ensuring compliance with local regulations, and conducting site visits. This thorough approach minimizes risks associated with marina sales and provides peace of mind to both buyers and sellers.
Financing is another key aspect we handle. We guide clients through the full range of financing options available for marina acquisitions, including traditional loans, private equity, and even crowdfunding options that have become increasingly popular in recent years.
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.
Our process includes a comprehensive market analysis that helps identify the best practices and competitive advantages within the marina sector. By staying informed about industry trends, we ensure that our clients are well-positioned to make informed decisions.
Throughout the entire marina sales process, we stress the importance of building relationships. Whether it’s with our clients, potential buyers, or industry stakeholders, these connections are vital for successful transactions.
