Marina Investments: The Untapped Asset Class You Should Know About

Introduction

When most investors think about real estate, they picture apartments or office buildings. But there's one niche asset class with untapped upside: marinas.

What Is a Marina Investment?

A marina is more than a dock — it’s a full-service, income-generating waterfront business.

Revenue streams include:

• Slip and dry stack storage

• Fuel sales

• Retail and food

• Boat maintenance and repair

• Charters, events, memberships

Why Marinas Are Attractive in 2025

1. Limited Supply

   • Coastal land is scarce and heavily regulated, creating long-term demand.

2. Recurring Revenue

   • Boaters stay loyal — and dry stack is growing fast.

3. Multiple Income Streams

   • Fuel, retail, and services all boost NOI.

4. Lifestyle Demand

   • Boating is booming in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and lakefront towns.

5. Institutional Exit Opportunities

   • Lifestyle REITs, hospitality firms, and PE firms are entering this space — creating strong exit potential.

Vantage Point's Approach

We target:

• Undermanaged or underbuilt marina assets

• Zoning and land-use upside

• High-barrier coastal or tourism-rich locations
