Boatyard / Marina Business

$4,999,999

Long Island, NY

A century of waterfront control.

This boatyard has operated continuously in a protected Long Island harbor since the 1920s. In a market where waterfront marina property is functionally non-replicable — protected harbors, regulatory barriers to entry, decades of permitting history — this business controls the dominant share of its harbor's mooring inventory. That control is not theoretical. The business holds moorings at a scale that effectively defines the local market, with contracted institutional relationships generating recurring annual revenue. Additional mooring relationships exist without formal contracts, representing revenue upside available to a new owner. The asking price includes the business plus two real estate parcels: the operational waterfront site and a separate winter storage lot. The waterfront property includes a residential unit generating rental income. All cash preferred. SBA approved. Specific location, financials, and property details available under NDA.
