Boats Acquisition Company II LLC (BAC) has acquired Port Niantic Inc., a full-service marina in Connecticut, expanding its footprint on the Niantic River.
Port Niantic is located at the head of Niantic Bay and offers access to boating and fishing destinations along the coasts of Connecticut, Long Island and Rhode Island. The acquisition doubles BAC’s wet and dry slip capacity to about 350 slips.
The marina accommodates vessels in deep-water slips and dry racks with valet launch service. It also provides indoor and outdoor winter storage, including a 25,000sqft (2,322 sqm) indoor facility.
Dock facilities include electricity and Wi-Fi, along with restrooms and showers, and a covered picnic and grilling area. The site also provides mechanical and electrical services.
The transition will keep the current Port Niantic team managing day-to-day operations at the marina.
Scott Leahy, principal of BAC, said: “I am thrilled to acquire such a premier asset with an outstanding team and I look forward to working with Scott, Cody, Debbie and the rest of the Port Niantic team to continue to provide customers with an outstanding boating experience.”
Leahy added: “This acquisition aligns perfectly with our mission of opportunistically growing our footprint while continuing to deliver an exceptional sales and service experience. We are looking forward to preserving Port Niantic’s unique character and outstanding reputation.”
Scott Bowden, president of Port Niantic, stated: “This transaction allows Port Niantic to continue our 37-year legacy of providing quality marine and repair services.”
