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, verify it, and deliver it to your inbox twice a week. Free.

How we source data

Public Records

County deed transfers and property records across coastal and inland markets in 37 states with active marina transactions.

Brokerage Listings

Daily scraping of Crexi, LoopNet, Simply Marinas, Colliers, and marina-specific brokerages for new listings and closed sales.

Industry Press

Trade publications, press releases, SEC filings, and company announcements — cross-referenced against our existing 127+ transaction records.

Direct Tips

Submissions from brokers, owners, and industry professionals. Anyone can submit a listing or deal tip.

Every transaction is verified before it enters our database. When a marina changes hands, our subscribers know within days, not months.

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.
