Dry Rack Storage Real Estate Listings and General Info for Buyers

Dry Rack Storage facilities vary in size, shape, and the manner in which they operate.  Some offer a full range of parts and services to complement haul and launch operations, while others provide restaurants, a club, and concierge that appeal to a more particular boating lifestyle.

Stable, Consistent Marine Real Estate Opportunities

Storage facilities possess uniquely stable attributes that make investing in them attractive to buyers.  By definition, income streams are reliable, consistent and bode very well in terms of profit contribution.  Some investors find it easier to accurately project income levels from executed annual contracts as opposed to less stable dependence upon the economy and the weather.  And with the captive audience of tenant boats, the opportunity to provide services for their own customers is uniquely appealing.  Most of those services can also be sold to the general public.

Determining the value of a dry rack storage facility is clearly a function of analyzing each of the income streams and combining that assessment with a full understanding of the physical components of the plant and equipment.  Proximity to cruising and fishing grounds is important while strategic posturing in today’s marketplace for future profitability can justify additional “intangible” (but very real) value.   Thoughts on how to improve the customer’s experience, and finding ways to set the facility apart from its competition are ways to improve the likelihood of sustained success and reliable profitability.
