Marina Comparable Sales
Real transaction data showing what marinas actually sell for, per slip. We can currently evidence 2 transactions to the standard needed for a comparable sale, which is too few to publish a median. The full set is below with the reason each deal is in or out.
Coverage: 154 transactions tracked → 60 with a disclosed price → 2 usable as comps. The rest are portfolios, resorts, refit yards, leaseholds, municipal purchases, or deals where the wet/dry slip split isn't known. Tick “show excluded deals” below to see each one and why it was left out. This set skews toward coastal wet-slip properties, because those are the ones that report a clean slip count.
Why 58 of these sales won't price your marina
Marina transactions rarely sell slips alone. Each of these is a real, sourced sale that we deliberately keep out of the per-slip set, with the reason stated. Read as a checklist against any comp you are handed.
Price bundled non-marina assets
11Restaurants, condominiums, golf courses or development land sold with the slips. The headline price is not a marina price.
West Palm Marina · Ballard Mill Marina · Sea Love Marina & Down the Hatch and 8 more
Portfolio or platform transaction
10Many marinas bought as one operating business, across different markets and slip mixes. A blended per-slip figure is not a single-asset comp.
NexPoint Marina DST (Eufaula Cove + Grafton Harbor) · Southern Marinas (15 Locations) · Safe Harbor Marinas (138 Locations) and 7 more
Leasehold or concession
6The operator holds a lease, not the land. Value depends on the term left, not the berths.
ONE15 Brooklyn Marina · Prairie Creek Marina · Harbor Bay Marina and 3 more
Not arm's length
6A government preservation purchase, or a sale to a neighbour with a reason to overpay. Neither is a market price.
Redwood Anchorage Marina · BLP Enterprises / Mystic Property · Palm Beach Shores Marina and 3 more
Price not evidenced
5The figure appears in no primary source, or is an asking price rather than a closing price.
Bayside Marine · Northlake Way Marina · Tower Marine and 2 more
Resort, superyacht or refit yard
7The revenue comes from rooms or refit work rather than berthing. Per-slip figures run far above the market.
Coles Point Marina & RV Resort · Leatherwood Marina & Resort · Harbor Lights Marina and 4 more
Dry-stack dominant
12Mostly racks rather than in-water berths. A rack and a slip are different products at different values.
Kent Narrows Boatel · Shalimar Harbor Marina (fka Two Georges) · Mashpee Neck Marina and 9 more
Too small to compare
1Under 25 wet slips the price reflects the land, the buildings or the location rather than the berths.
Fremont Marina
Why is the range so wide?
Vessel Size
A 20-ft bass boat slip generates ~$2K/year. A 100-ft yacht slip generates $36K+. Investors price on revenue.
Water Access
Deep-water coastal marinas on the ICW command 3-5x more than shallow inland lake marinas.
Upland Assets
A fuel dock, boatyard, restaurant, or dry storage can double a marina's value beyond just slips.
Deal Context
Bankruptcy sales, lease vs. fee simple, and strategic premium from PE buyers all move the price.

How to Use This Data
For Owners
Find marinas similar to yours by state, slip count, and type. The price-per-slip range gives you a realistic market value range, not a single number. Revenue and NOI matter more than slip count alone — consult a marina broker for a professional valuation.
For Investors
Use comps to sanity-check asking prices on listings. A marina priced well above comparable $/slip may have significant upland assets, deep-water access, or development potential — or it may be overpriced. Pro members see buyer and seller names on every deal.
For Brokers
Use this as a starting point for your own research, not as a substitute for it. These figures are compiled from published reporting and are not independently confirmed — verify any transaction against the deed or the parties before it goes into a BOV or a client deliverable. We update as new transactions close. Pro members get early access to new comps and full buyer/seller details.
