MARINA FOR SALE
Escape the cold weather and high taxes up north, Live and work on the sunny Southwest Coast of Florida. Kick back and enjoy the laid back lifestyle that you have always dreamed of. If you enjoy the water and boating, you will love this business.
This is a perfect opportunity for a Father/Son or a Husband/Wife Team.
This is a rare acquisition opportunity to purchase a premier family owned and operated Marina that has been in business for 40 years and operated by the same owner the entire time. This is a turnkey opportunity with loyal customers, proven operational workflows and significant room for expansion. All systems are in place. Walk in, turn on the lights and make money on day one.
There are four income streams in this business. 1) Storage 2) Consignments 3) Used Boat Sales 4) Service Center/Maintenance work.
The crown jewel that goes with this business is a highly coveted 24-year authorized Mercury Outboard and Sterndrive Dealership license. This dealership license comes with unlimited online training, updated service manuals and plug and play software to assist with troubleshooting motor issues. The seller has two certified mechanics who will stay on after the sale of the business. Certified mechanics charge $175 an hour as opposed to a non-certified mechanic who can only charge $40-$50 an hour.
This Marina is not located directly on the water, but is only a mile and a half from the public boat launch. Unlike vulnerable waterfront properties, this property is not in a flood zone, it sits high-and-dry at 13.4 feet above sea level and had no damage from the two major hurricanes that hit the west coast of Florida in 2024. This is a huge advantage when it comes to insurance expense.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 40
- Employees
- 5 (4 Full-time, 1 Part-time)
Two W-2 Employees and three Independent Contractors one of which is part time. - Facilities & Assets
- The property consists of a 3,400 sq. ft. Office/Shop that is situated on roughly 3/4 of an acre. There are two offices, a small kitchen area and a shop. The entire building is very well maintained, organized and clean. The owner will lease the facility at a fair market rent subject discussion with a serious buyer. The Real Estate is not included in this listing, but is available should a buyer wish to purchase it. The listing price of $900,000 is an estimate. A buyer will want to have an appraisal done to substantiate the fair market value.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- There is minimal competition from other marina's in the area. This Marina actually gets referrals from other marina's in the area because the other marina's don't do any sterndrive work.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Opportunities for expansion. 1) Current owner has not raised storage costs for years. 2) The Sales Manager works from home and only comes in when he gets a call from an interested buyer. He makes roughly $80,000 a year in commission. A husband and wife or father and son team could take the sales position over and the $80,000 would fall to the bottom line. 3) An owner could go into the concierge Boat Rental business, starting out small with one or two boats and expanding as needed. This could be a lucrative income stream, as there would be no monthly fee such as the large boat rental companies have. The owner would have the boat delivered to the public launch area gassed up and ready to go and pick the boat up when it is returned to the launch area. 4) The business is only open 5 days a week 10:30-4:30; no weekends and the owner is in the office 4-5 hours a day. A buyer could expand these hours and increase revenue substantially.
