SVN Marinas Brokers Sale of Skyline Marine Center

SVN Marinas, a leading national brokerage platform specializing exclusively in marina and commercial waterfront investment sales, today announced the successful sale of Skyline Marine Center, a premier full-service marina and marine storage facility located in Anacortes, Washington.

SVN Marinas exclusively represented the seller and procured the buyer, GT Capital, a Pacific Northwest-based real estate investment company with a growing marina portfolio that includes Dagmars Marina in Everett, Washington, and Washington Boat Center in Seattle. Transaction terms were not disclosed.

Located on Fidalgo Island, Skyline Marine Center is one of the closest full-service marinas to the San Juan Islands and is strategically positioned near one of the region’s primary mainland boating gateways. The expansive 15-acre property features 67 protected wet slips, more than 300 dry storage positions, a 94,000-square-foot indoor boat storage warehouse, marine service operations, commercial suites and a fuel dock. Skyline Marine Center serves recreational boaters, cruising yachts, anglers and marine enthusiasts navigating Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands, the Gulf Islands and the famed Inside Passage to Alaska.

Skyline Marine Centers’ combination of protected moorage, dry storage, indoor boat storage, marine services and strategic location made it a highly attractive acquisition opportunity within one of the Pacific Northwest’s most established boating markets.

The Anacortes marina market continues to benefit from strong regional boating demand, limited supply, and significant barriers to new waterfront development. As one of the West Coast’s most recognized recreational boating destinations, the broader San Juan Islands and Puget Sound region continue to attract boaters, marina operators, private investors, institutional investors, and family offices seeking long-term waterfront real estate investments.

The transaction was completed through a confidential, relationship-driven advisory process designed to protect the seller’s privacy, preserve uninterrupted operations, and identify a buyer best positioned to steward the property’s long-term success. SVN Marinas leveraged its national marina brokerage platform, targeted buyer outreach, and extensive relationships across the marina and waterfront investment sector to connect the seller with GT Capital.

The transaction was supported by Brian Resendez, CCIM, senior vice president with SVN | Bluestone, who served as the Washington broker of record.

The sale of Skyline Marine Center underscores continued demand for marina acquisitions in the Pacific Northwest and across the United States. With new marina development increasingly limited by waterfront scarcity, entitlement challenges, environmental regulations and construction costs, existing marina properties remain highly sought after by private investors, regional owner-operators, family offices and institutional buyers.

SVN Marinas continues to advise marina owners, investors, and developers through specialized brokerage, valuation, acquisition, and advisory services. The platform focuses on helping clients navigate complex marina and commercial real estate transactions while maximizing value through strategic positioning, confidential marketing and qualified buyer outreach.
