The long leasehold interest in a marina on the Firth of Forth in Scotland has been put up for sale.
Port Edgar Ltd is seeking a buyer for Port Edgar Marina, which is strategically located at South Queensferry, just outside Edinburgh.
With berthing for more than 300 vessels, full-service boatyard facilities and established sailing schools, the marina attracts a wide range of leisure boaters, visitors and marine professionals.
The sale includes the entire shareholding of Port Edgar (Holdings) Ltd, Port Edgar Marina Ltd, and Production Yachts (Port Edgar) Ltd, encompassing all business assets, operational interests, and the long leasehold of the property, which runs until 2100 under lease from the City of Edinburgh Council.
The business benefits from three revenue streams: marina operations, sub-leases to 25 third-party occupiers and marine retail and services.
Russell Aitken, managing director at Port Edgar Marina, said: “Port Edgar has been a labour of love for us. We are incredibly proud of what has been achieved – from a naval heritage site to a vibrant, modern marina that serves over 300 vessels and a diverse community of marine and hospitality businesses. We believe it’s the right time for new ownership to take it forward.”
Richard Prestwich, director in the leisure and trade related team at Savills, which has been appointed to market the opportunity, added: “This sale represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational and established marina business in a strategic coastal location. With a long leasehold secured, the asset offers both immediate operational income and the potential for future development – ideal for buyers seeking a foothold in a tightly held sector. With offers now invited for the long leasehold interest, we anticipate high levels of demand from prospective buyers eager to secure such a unique property.”
