Suntex Acquires Second Emerald Coast Property

Suntex Marina Investors LLC, in partnership with Centerbridge Partners, L.P., and its affiliates, announced the acquisition of Two Georges Marina in Shalimar, Florida. The property will now operate under the new name Shalimar Harbor Marina, a nod to its roots as the former Shalimar Yacht Basin and a tribute to the town of Shalimar where it has long served the local boating community. This acquisition brings Shalimar Harbor Marina into the Suntex network as the second Emerald Coast property alongside Legendary Marina in Destin, Florida.

The acquisition adds 134 wet slips and 190 dry rack storage spaces to the Suntex network, offering boaters a full-service marina experience in one of the most desirable boating destinations in the Florida Panhandle. Located just one mile from the Intracoastal Waterway and minutes from Destin Pass, Shalimar Harbor Marina provides quick access to world-class fishing, cruising, and water sports. Boaters can take advantage of a fuel dock, a ship store, as well as on-site marine services.

The exceptional maritime service and hospitality that define Two Georges Marina will continue, with George and Amanda Fussell operating an independent sales and service business at the marina under the Two Georges Marine name. Two Georges Marine will continue to provide boatyard haul-out services, maintenance and repairs, repowers, and retail boat sales, representing leading brands including Caymas, Contender, C-Hawk, Mitzi Skiffs and Ranger Boats.
