Overview

The property is a full-service marina setup with multiple slip options, including 35 houseboat slips with electric and water hookups, 60 high-cover slips, 20 low-cover slips, and 31 open slips. On-site amenities include four pontoon boat rentals and a fully stocked bait shop offering bait and tackle, fishing supplies, fuel, and food and beverages for guests and boaters. A restaurant space with a full commercial kitchen is also included.

For an operator or buyer looking to run a multi-function boating business, the combination of slips, rentals, bait shop operations, and a ready-to-use restaurant kitchen supports several revenue streams under one ownership. The detached 100' x 40' building adds further flexibility and includes a 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, which may be suitable for on-site housing or other uses related to marina operations.
