Holding company · Parent of wotteri
The operating company for American marinas.
MARINAmerica builds the software, runs the operations, and places the capital behind marinas — one integrated platform for an asset class that is still, mostly, run on paper.
Marina brokerage
Marinas for sale — most of them before they’re public.
Sellers don't advertise. We represent owners through a sale and open the file to buyers who can actually close — which is why there’s a screen in front of it.
The opportunity
A real-asset class the institutions skipped.
Marinas sit on irreplaceable waterfront, serve customers with a decade-long average tenure, and are still run, overwhelmingly, by one family with a filing cabinet.
~12,000
marinas in the United States
Wet-slip and dry-stack facilities open to the public.
80%+
owned by single-property operators
Family and founder ownership, one facility at a time.
<5%
institutionally held
One of the last large real-asset classes still this fragmented.
Flat
net new waterfront supply
Permitting and shoreline constraints keep supply near-fixed.
Figures are MARINAmerica internal estimates, not third-party research. Methodology on the Thesis page.
What we do
Software, operations, and capital — under one roof.
Most vendors sell a marina one thing. An owner needs three, and they only work when they share the same operating record.
01 — Technology
Platform
The system of record for the dock: reservations, billing, metered utilities, work orders, access, and the tenant community layer that now carries the wotteri brand.
wotteri
Our tenant and community platform, live at marinas today.
Marina operating systems
Slip inventory, contracts, invoicing, utilities, maintenance, access.
Data & benchmarking
Portfolio reporting built from the operating record, not spreadsheets.
02 — Operations
Operations
We run marinas — as third-party manager, as the back office behind an owner's team, or as the bench that staffs the dock when the dockmaster retires.
Marina management
Third-party operator: P&L, revenue management, maintenance, compliance.
Talent & recruiting
GMs, dockmasters, service techs, and the seasonal pipeline.
Business process outsourcing
Billing, collections, payroll, close, reservations, COI and permit tracking.
03 — Capital
Capital
Marina credit is a specialty product and most lenders don't underwrite it well. We arrange the debt, raise the equity, and represent owners through a sale.
Marina financing
Acquisition, refinance, and capex debt placed with lenders who know the asset.
Capital raising
JV equity, programmatic vehicles, and family-office capital.
Marina sales
Sell-side representation, buy-side origination, and valuation work.
The compounding argument
Each platform makes the next one cheaper.
Software is how we meet a marina. Operations is how it improves. Capital is how we own the improvement — and every marina we add makes the underwriting sharper for the one after it.
01
Software runs the marina
Slips, contracts, billing, utilities, work orders, and tenants move onto one system.
02
Operations lift the asset
Revenue management, staffing, and shared services turn that system into NOI.
03
Data sharpens underwriting
Real occupancy, rate, and cost history — at facility level — beats a broker's pro forma.
04
Capital adds marinas
Better underwriting wins better assets, and every new marina feeds the platform again.
Each turn of the loop makes the next marina cheaper to win and easier to run.
Brand architecture
Our software platform is now 
.
The product that marina tenants and staff use every day carries its own name. MARINAmerica remains the parent company — the platform, the operating businesses, and the capital vehicles sit here.

CapitalYou are ready to sell
Sell-side representation from people who know what a well-run marina is worth — and how to prove it.
Marina salesTell us about your marina.
One conversation, under NDA if you'd prefer. We'll tell you plainly whether we're the right partner — and what we'd do in the first hundred days if we are.
