Simply Marinas
Why Simply Marinas?
Simply put, we are proven. Our team has conducted over 100 marina transactions and over 250 marina consultations. Through our network of over 12,000 marina investors, we have successfully matched eager, qualified buyers with the impressive inventory of marinas we represent. Our clients range from family and private proprietors, to corporate and institutional investor clients. Our results and client testimonials speak volumes, year after year. Beyond client praise, we have garnered national recognition in publications such as Marina Dock Age Magazine, Trade Only, Soundings, Wave, The Daily Business Review, and the South Florida Business Journal. Most importantly, we have repeat and happy clients. No praise says more.
Our first involvement in marinas was as investors, lenders and facilitating permitting for a dry storage marina and getting additional equity investors. Simply Marinas quickly grew to be an industry-leading company, providing brokerage, valuation and advisory services to the marina industry, a commercial sector that was near and dear to our hearts.
We are supporters and sponsors of marine associations and the marina community. From the South Business Journal: “We can relate to what makes marinas work, from the docks and restaurants to the back office and ledgers,” says George Ash, Simply Marinas National Director. As a family-run business, clients are more than clients; they become friends often turning to the Ash family to resell the same property, in some cases two or three times.”
