Marine Service & Storage — Real Estate Included | 20+ Yrs
Business Description
Marine Service & Storage — Real Estate Included | 20+ Yrs
Own the Water in West Michigan — Real Estate, Recurring Revenue, and a 20-Year Reputation
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a cash-flowing, asset-rich marine service and storage business in the heart of Newaygo County, Michigan's active inland lake region. With real estate included, $176,848 in inventory, a 4.9-star Google rating across 94 reviews, and two deeply complementary revenue streams, this turnkey operation is one of the most compelling marine business acquisitions available in the Midwest today.
What the Business Does
This established marine service and storage operation has served Newaygo County since 2006. Revenue comes from two distinct, mutually reinforcing streams:
Marine Repair & Service is the core revenue driver — comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and seasonal service for recreational boats. A loyal repeat customer base built over two decades keeps the service bays busy throughout the boating season.
Outdoor and Indoor Boat Storage provides recurring, largely pre-paid annual revenue. The business stores 380–400 boats per season outdoors (maximum approaching 450–500), plus 25–30 boats in indoor winter storage on-site and an additional 7–8 at an off-site leased location. Shrink-wrap winterization is included. Storage customers return year after year and most also rely on the shop for service — creating a captive, zero-marketing-cost revenue floor that service-only competitors cannot replicate.
