About SVN Marinas
SVN | MARINAS was founded by marina and marine businesses experts to solve a market need for specialized advisory services by professionals with the knowledge, contacts and strategic marketing resources required to successfully acquire and divest specialty marine properties and businesses.
SVN | Marinas was strategically formed through the alliance of U.S. Marina Brokers (SVN Florida Commercial) and Safe Haven Advisors. Located in Jupiter, Florida, U.S. Marina Brokers has long been a leading marina broker in the Southeast of the United States. Located in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Safe Haven Advisors bring years of marine focused M&A and business advisory experience. Together now as SVN | Marinas we are the first firm with the expertise and experience to transact marine specialty assets throughout the United States and the Caribbean.
More About SVN Marinas
Acquisitions of marina and marine properties is in high demand with activity being driven by a few large national consolidators, strategic acquirers, family offices , and high net worth individuals.
Marinas, Marine Properties and Marine Businesses are distinct asset classes for which we have trademarked as Business Developed Commercial Real Estate (BdCRE™) or Special Purpose Commercial Real Estate (SpCRE™). These asset classes have distinct risk and return characteristics which require a specialist understanding. Increasingly, we are seeing international and professional investors as potential acquirers of marinas and related properties as they are seeking attractive “safe haven” investments that can be actively or passively managed.
Safe Haven
/sāf ˈhāvən/ • noun
I. a place of refuge for a vessel in distress or in danger from a storm;
II. an investment that is expected to retain or increase in value during a time of market turbulence.
