The investment case
01
New marina development requires waterfront land, environmental permitting, and years of shoreline approval. The number of U.S. marinas has declined over the past two decades while the registered boat fleet has grown. Existing slips cannot easily be replicated.
02
Median slip occupancy at U.S. marinas sits near 92%, with a large share of operators reporting above 95%. With roughly twelve registered boats for every available slip nationally, waiting lists are routine across Pacific Northwest markets.
03
Well-positioned marinas draw income from slip rental, dry storage, fuel sales, haul-out and repair, and transient dockage. Top operators report EBITDA margins in the 20 to 40 percent range, comparable with well-run self-storage.
04
Restaurants, ship stores, boat rentals, and event space raise revenue per visitor and extend the operating season beyond the summer peak. Amenity development is frequently the first value-creation lever a new owner pulls.

Regulatory
Most marina land in the Pacific Northwest sits on aquatic land the owner does not hold in fee. Washington DNR leases, Oregon DSL authorizations, British Columbia Crown tenures, and Idaho submerged lands each carry different renewal, rent, and assignment mechanics — and each one shapes valuation and financing.
