Description
This is an established marina business on Tionesta Lake, offered as a business and leasehold opportunity. The sale includes 52 boat slips, 4 rental boats, concession operations, docks, equipment, and the related business assets that come with a long-standing presence on the water. What you are buying is the operation itself, along with the leasehold position, not the underlying real estate.
The leasehold is a major part of what is being sold here. It is what gives a buyer a seat at the table with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to negotiate future use of the surrounding recreation area. Opportunities may exist to expand marina services, add amenities, or develop additional recreational offerings on the site, all subject to review, negotiation, and approval by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and any other required governing agencies. Transfer of the leasehold, concession, permit, and operational rights is also subject to that same approval process. For the right buyer, this leasehold and the negotiating position it carries represent as much of the opportunity as the marina operation itself.
Tionesta Lake sits inside one of the most heavily used recreational corridors in northwestern Pennsylvania. Boaters, anglers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts come back to this lake season after season, and a marina with 52 slips already in place puts you in position to serve that traffic from day one instead of building a client base from scratch. The 4 rental boats and concession sales give the business more than one way to bring in revenue, which matters in a seasonal market. Docks and equipment are already on site and operating, so there is no lead time spent standing up infrastructure before you can open for the season.
This is a turnkey opportunity for someone who wants to step into a working marina and then build on it. The buyer takes over slip rentals, boat rentals, and concession sales with an established customer base already tied to the location, while also stepping into the leasehold position that opens the door to future development conversations with the Army Corps. For an operator who wants a business built around the water, the boating season, a loyal base of repeat customers, and genuine room to expand, this is a rare chance to acquire both a running marina and a negotiating seat on one of the region's most popular lakes.
