Sell your Marina business in Parkland

If you own a marina and boat storage business in Parkland (Broward County) and are thinking about selling or retiring, Business Hunters is a local, direct buyer. We keep the process confidential and aim to keep your employees and your name in place. Here is what typically matters when a marina and boat storage business in Parkland changes hands.

Demand for marina work in Parkland

Parkland is inland, but boat owners here typically keep vessels at Intracoastal marinas, in dry-stack storage or on trailers, so marine service, dock and charter businesses based in or serving Parkland draw customers from across Broward County.

Areas served from Parkland commonly include Parkland Bay, Parkland Golf and Country Club, Pine Island Road, Holmberg Road and University Drive.

What drives the value of a marina and boat storage business

• Slip, dry-stack and mooring occupancy and rates compared with nearby facilities.
• The mix of annual, seasonal and transient slips, and how much revenue is contracted in advance.
• Fuel, ship's store, service and storage revenue beyond slip rent.
• Site rights: ownership, upland or submerged-land leases, and the condition of docks, seawalls and pilings.

What a buyer will look at

• Rent roll and occupancy by slip type
• Dock, piling and seawall condition and any capital repairs needed
• Submerged-land, permit and zoning documentation
• Insurance (windstorm, flood and liability) and hurricane preparedness history

About Parkland

Parkland is a low-density, largely residential city in the northwest corner of Broward, with large lots, equestrian-style neighborhoods, gated golf and country club communities, and a small commercial base along Pine Island Road and University Drive. Customers often expect premium, careful service.

Licensing, permits and the transition

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.

Parkland generally requires its own city business tax receipt in addition to Broward County's, and locally licensed trades go through the Broward County Central Examining Boards. The city is inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.

Yes. We buy established marina and boat storage businesses in Parkland and across Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. Reach out for a confidential conversation.

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.

Will you keep my employees and company name?

Our goal is to keep the team and the name in place. They are a big part of what makes a local business valuable.

Can you buy my building or yard too?

Yes. We are backed by the Prop Hunters real estate team, so we can buy the property with the business or lease it from you.
