Hot Listing
Full Service Marina Western Cincinnati
Business Description
Mariner's Landing Marina represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational, full-service marina on the scenic Ohio River, just 12 miles west of downtown Cincinnati. Established in 1988, this thriving business has built a loyal customer base and demonstrates strong recurring revenue streams over its 35+ year operating history.
The marina sits on substantial riverfront property and features over 30 wet slips with electric and water hookups, 200 dry storage spaces including 52 covered carports, swimming pool, shaded picnic area, a fuel dock, ship store, and professional maintenance/repair facilities. The business serves both seasonal and transient boaters in one of the region's most popular recreational boating areas.
With minimal competition on Cincinnati's west side, the marina enjoys excellent market positioning. The closest competitors with similar operations are located in Aurora, Indiana and downtown Cincinnati's Dayton, Kentucky area, providing significant geographic advantages.
The property includes underutilized land with zoning that allows for future development and expansion. Multiple growth opportunities exist including enhanced marketing and social media presence, additional carport construction, RV parking development, restaurant/bar addition, boat sales expansion, pontoon rehabilitation services, and innovative short-term boat rental programs.
All necessary equipment and real estate are included in the sale. The current owner, seeking retirement after decades of successful operation, will provide transition assistance both in-person and by phone to ensure smooth operations continuity.
Key Revenue Streams:
• Wet slip rentals with utilities
• Dry storage with valet launching
• Fuel sales
• Winter storage & Winterization Services
• Boat & trailer repair services
• Used boat & new and used trailer sales
This turnkey operation offers immediate cash flow with significant expansion potential. SBA financing is available for qualified buyers. The combination of established operations, prime location, loyal customer base, and development opportunities makes this an exceptional investment in Ohio's recreational marine industry.
