Marinas For Sale & For Rent in Virginia (VA)

Marinas for sale or for rent in Virginia sit along the Chesapeake Bay, its tidal rivers, and the Potomac River. Buying or leasing a marina means evaluating waterfront land, docks, slips, and the business that runs on them. Fred's Properties helps buyers, sellers, and investors look at waterfront and marina-related commercial property in Virginia.

What makes a marina property different

A marina combines real estate, water access, and a working business. Before you buy or lease, review these areas:

• Waterfront access and frontage. The shoreline, depth of water, and navigation access.
• Docks, piers, and slips. Their condition, layout, and how many boats they can hold.
• Land and buildings. Parking, storage, a ship's store or office, and any repair space.
• Permits and regulations. Waterfront use is regulated by local, state, and federal agencies, so permits and approvals should be reviewed carefully.
• Environmental factors. Flood zones, shoreline condition, and any required inspections.
• Financial records. If you are buying an operating marina, have your accountant and attorney review the business side.
