This comprehensive report offers an in-depth analysis of the marina industry's performance, trends, and future outlook, highlighting the sector's continued growth, resilience amid economic fluctuations, and the transformative impact of smart technology on marina operations.

Fueling Growth: The Boating Market's Ascension
The report reveals that the boating market maintained its impressive momentum into 2024, driven by technological advancements, innovative boat designs, and a surge in younger boat ownership. Larger vessels—particularly those over 25 feet—are fueling demand for marina services, as at-home storage becomes increasingly impractical. This trend continues to strengthen the need for wet slips and dry stack storage, boosting the marina sector.

Navigating Economic Waters: A Recap of 2024
Despite economic fluctuations, the marina industry remained resilient throughout 2024, with revenues continuing to grow. However, the report highlights increasing challenges in marina transactions due to the narrowing gap between debt costs and capitalization rates, making financing more complex for prospective buyers.

The report features insights from Elsa Nicol, founder of Falco, whose smart technology solutions are reshaping marina operations. Falco's platform optimizes occupancy management, monitors power usage, and enhances customer service through real-time data. These advancements are driving efficiency, profitability, and improved guest experiences, making marinas more competitive and future-ready.

Harty emphasizes the importance of durability, material selection, and tailoring construction to regional conditions. His insights offer valuable guidance for marina owners seeking to enhance infrastructure longevity and operational efficiency.

Harboring Growth: Marinas in the Limelight
The report also reveals that marina rental rates and occupancy remain strong, with high demand leading to lengthy waitlists. Expansion through redevelopment and mixed-use components continues to add value and attract investors. Additionally, the thriving rental boat market, particularly for vessels under 45 feet, is creating new revenue streams, with charter services gaining popularity.
