Suntex acquires new Florida superyacht marina

Suntex Marina Investors has acquired Seahaven Marina in Dania Beach, Florida. Located close to Hollywood-Fort Lauderdale International Airport, the marina offers drawbridge-free access to the Atlantic Ocean for vessels and superyachts up to 250 feet.

This is the latest in a series of acquisitions by Suntex, with the company taking over marinas in the Tampa Bay area and taking occupancy of the Las Olas Marina in Fort Lauderdale in October 2021, with the Las Olas site set to be redeveloped with work commencing in 2022.

Seahaven Marina is Suntex Marina’s third asset in Broward County and the company’s tenth asset in South Florida. Suntex says it plans to announce additional growth in the Florida market in the near future.

Sam Chavers, senior vice president of operations at Suntex Marinas, says: “Seahaven is a first-class marina with exceptional amenities. We are excited to add this location to our portfolio as it is a perfect complement to our other premier megayacht destinations on the eastern seaboard.”

The facility offers guests concrete floating docks with bulk fuel delivery, in-slip pump out, as well as provisioning and transportation concierge services. Seahaven includes a private club for captains and crew, a fitness centre, office space with a conference room and a recreation centre. The marina is a Florida Clean Marina-certified facility.

“The addition of Seahaven punctuates Suntex’s continued effort to be the owner and operator of the best-in-class assets in every market that we do business,” says Bryan Redmond, CEO of Suntex Marinas. “Seahaven is first-class in every way and we are extremely excited to build upon what Ray Graziotto and his partners have created in Dania Beach.”
