Our Fund’s Mission
To preserve and protect your capital while delivering consistent returns and long-term growth through world-class marina investments.
Why Invest in Marinas?
While many real estate sectors are experiencing margin compression, the marina industry stands out for its stability and growth potential:
- The U.S. recreational boat market is projected to reach $28.5 billion by 2028, growing at an 8.69% CAGR
- 70% of marinas reported 95–100% occupancy in 2022
- The top 2 marina operators own less than 2.5% of the market — leaving consolidation opportunities wide open
- New marina development faces high barriers to entry due to limited buildable shoreline, environmental regulations, and high upfront capital costs
This creates a compelling opportunity to invest in stable, income-generating real estate — an often overlooked niche with strong, sustained demand and limited new supply.
