We run marinas. So we know how to fix them, sell them, and find them.
Luxe Marina Group's founders have over 35 years of combined experience operating marinas in some of the best ports in the country, and have worked with thousands of marinas through consulting engagements. Today we manage, advise, and broker marinas with focused coverage of the US East Coast.
From New England to the Florida Keys.
Edgartown Harbormaster
One of the premier yachting destinations in New England — a high-traffic public harbor with significant transient demand, complex municipal coordination, and a deeply loyal returning fleet.
Stock Island Marina Village
A flagship Florida Keys mega-yacht marina. Deep-water capable, hurricane-exposed, and operating with the kind of seasonal and transient mix that rewards disciplined operations.
Four ways we work with marina owners and investors.
Hire us to manage
Full-service operations: dockmaster, staffing, accounting, fuel, retail, permits, capex.
Bring us in for a project
Operations audits, pricing studies, software selection, permit strategy, pre-sale improvements.
Sell your marina
Confidential, operator-led sell-side advisory. Targeted buyer outreach, EBITDA-grounded valuations.
Acquire a marina
Sourcing, underwriting, and operational diligence for single-asset and platform acquisitions.
Built by people who have actually run marinas.
Operators first, advisors second
Our founders started as marina operators and have spent decades working in the industry before advising on it. That's where every recommendation, every transaction, every management approach starts. We've made the payroll, signed the permit, and answered the 11 PM call about the boat taking on water.
Best terms in the business
We don't cut corners when running your operation, and we don't hide the ball on how we work with you. Management agreements are written to be terminable on both sides if performance slips. Consulting scopes are fixed, written, and priced up front. You always know what you're paying for.
Partner-led, intentionally selective
Every engagement is led by a partner who has run marinas. When we can no longer staff that way, we stop adding properties — not the other way around. It's the only model that's honest about what makes our advice worth what we charge for it.
From first email to engagement, in plain English.
We don't run a sales motion. There's no "discovery call" followed by a "qualification call" followed by a "value-engineering session." It's a single call, a site visit, and a written proposal. If we're not the right fit, we say so within the first conversation.
- 01
Tell us what you're trying to do
A short intro call, no charge. We'll tell you within the call whether we're the right firm for the work, and if we're not, we'll tell you who is.
- 02
Site visit and diagnostic
We come to the property. We walk the docks, look at the books, talk to the dockmaster and the front office, and form a real view of what's happening and what could change.
- 03
Proposal with concrete numbers
We come back with a written proposal that specifies scope, deliverables, timeline, and price. No mystery-meat 'engagements TBD.'
- 04
Execute together
Whether it's a three-month consulting project or a five-year management contract, we work alongside your team. You always know what we're doing and why.
Common questions
- What does Luxe Marina Group actually do?
- We do four things for marina owners and investors on the US East Coast: full-service marina management (running the dock day-to-day), one-off consulting projects (turnarounds, fee studies, permitting strategy, tech implementation), sell-side advisory (bringing your marina to market), and buy-side acquisition support (sourcing and underwriting marina deals).
- Where on the East Coast do you work?
- Maine to Florida, with concentrated coverage of the Chesapeake Bay, Long Island Sound, the Florida Atlantic, and major markets in between. We turn down work where we can't physically be on-site within a reasonable drive or short flight.
- What size of marina do you typically work with?
- We work with marinas of all sizes — from small family-owned properties to large multi-basin operations. The work that matters is the same at both ends: rates, staffing, customer experience, capital condition. We size our engagement to the property, not the other way around.
- How are you compensated?
- Management engagements are structured around the operating results we deliver for the ownership group. Consulting is fixed-fee for defined scopes. Sell-side and buy-side work is structured around a success fee with a modest retainer. We're transparent about pricing on the first call and the engagement letter is always in writing.
- How quickly can you start?
- Most consulting projects start within a few weeks of a signed scope. Management transitions are paced to the property and the season — we don't take shortcuts that risk a bad customer experience. Sell-side work can begin almost immediately, often with a site visit in the first two weeks.
- Do you work with marinas you don't own or manage?
- Yes — most of our consulting and brokerage clients are independent of our managed portfolio. We're explicit about any conflicts at the outset.
The first call is free, candid, and short.
Tell us what you own or what you're looking for. We'll tell you whether we can help, and if we can, what it would look like.
