Leasehold Marina?

[andypag]

Are there any Marinas that operate a leasehold model - Where you buy your berth and can sell it on, and just pay a management fee for insurance and upkeep. It would be like an apartment in a building; owned by berth-holders, and not run for profit. Obviously, a portion of berths would be held back for passing trade (comparable to serviced apartments)?

Yes, a very small number of marinas, I've seen slips for sale on Craigslist and various realtor websites. It's more common, I think, with waterfront multi-family developments to deed a slip and collect maintenance fees along with HOA fees.

Yes, the marina I'm at on Bainbridge Island WA is exactly that. The slip rate I pay goes to the slip owner minus management fees and what not.

There are a number of marinas in various harbours around New Zealand that follow this model.
