Why this exists
Blackstone wrote a $5.65 billion check for Safe Harbor Marinas. Suntex operates 90+ marinas backed by Centerbridge. Bain Capital launched a joint venture targeting the East Coast. KSL is reportedly exploring a $1B+ exit.
Yet there was no single source tracking all of it. Transaction data was scattered across county records, broker sites, and press releases. If you wanted the full picture, you had to piece it together yourself — or pay $50K+ for an institutional research subscription.
Marina Deal Flow exists to fix that. We aggregate every marina transaction we can find, structure it into a comparable record, and deliver it to your inbox twice a week. Free.
How we source data
Industry & Trade Press
Continuous monitoring of marine trade publications, business press, and company announcements covering marina transactions across 33 states.
Brokerage Listings
Listing feeds and marina-specific brokerages — including Crexi, LoopNet, Simply Marinas and Colliers — for new listings and reported closings.
Broker & Company Releases
Transaction announcements from the brokers and operators who closed the deal, de-duplicated against our existing 154 transaction records.
Direct Tips
Submissions from brokers, owners, and industry professionals. Anyone can submit a listing or deal tip.
Every record must identify a real marina and a real location before it enters the database — anything that fails those checks is held back rather than published. Records added since we started capturing provenance carry a clickable source on the deal page; older ones were compiled before that and show “source not recorded”. We are working back through them, and we would rather show you which is which than imply a citation exists where it does not. Prices and slip counts are reported as disclosed; where a figure was never made public we show it as undisclosed rather than estimating it. We are a secondary source: we aggregate and structure what has been reported, and we do not pull county deed records or independently confirm terms with the parties. Spot an error? Tell us and we'll correct it.

Why marinas, why now
10,000+ marinas in the US. Roughly 89% still independently owned. That's one of the largest fragmentation gaps in commercial real estate — and institutional capital is moving fast to close it.
The consolidation story is still early. Marina Deal Flow is how you keep up. Read our deep dive on marina consolidation.
