Licensing

Marinas and boat storage facilities are governed mostly by property-based rules: waterfront zoning, submerged-land authorizations for docks over state-owned bottomlands, environmental permits (Florida DEP and, for in-water work, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), fuel dock and stormwater rules, and local building and fire codes. The approvals that apply depend on the site, so a buyer will review them closely.

Frequently asked questions

Is a marina valued as a business or as real estate?

Usually as a mix. Income from slips, storage, fuel and services matters, but so do the land, dock rights and permits behind it. Our real estate background means we can look at both, and we can buy the property with the business or lease it back.
