Yacht Marina Acquisition Financial Model

Description
A yacht marina acquisition involves purchasing a waterfront property equipped with docking facilities for boats and yachts, along with amenities like fueling stations, maintenance services, and clubhouse facilities. Investors evaluate the marina’s location, occupancy rates, slip rental pricing, operating costs, and potential for expansion. The acquisition can provide steady income from slip rentals, storage fees, and additional services. Successful marina investments rely on strong demand from boat owners, effective management, and maintaining high service standards.

This Financial model presents an investment scenario of a Yacht Marina, from the acquisition of the property to a potential future sale. The model contains the basic elements required to determine a range of possible IRR returns to an investor, given a high-level set of assumptions about the asset’s operating forecasts, leverage, and exit price.


The structure of the template follows Financial Modeling Best Practices principles and is fully customizable.

Model Structure


• General Setup & Acquisition Inputs
Operating and Acquisition-related inputs, including Project Timing, Acquisition, Renovation and Property Sale Assumptions, Marina Metrics (10 different Docks, Number of Slips per Dock, Rental Fees, Rent Roll Asumptions), Slips Rental Revenue, Other Revenue (Tenants Leases, Fuels, Yacht Service, F&B, Retail, etc.), Operating Expenses, Capital Expenditures and Financing through Equity and 2 Loan types.



• Debt Schedules
Amortization Schedules for the 2 types of loans provided in the model



• Monthly Cash Flow
Monthly CF presents all the operating cash flows of the property over monthly periods. It allows users to control the timing and how the cash flows over that time.



• Annual Cash Flow
A roll-up of the monthly cash flows into annual periods from property acquisition to disposition. It includes also calculation of Stabilized Yield on Equity and Cost, Debt Service Reserves and Property Sale Taxes


• Performance Reports
The model includes Break-even Analysis, KPIs and Perfomance dashboard reports assisting users to monitor hotel's operations and profitability.


• Project Returns
Report presenting project unlevered and levered returns (Pre-Tax & After-Tax IRR, MOIC, Cash Outflows, Inflows and Profits)



• Investors’ Returns Waterfall
A 4-tier IRR hurdle waterfall model to distribute proceeds between investors. The model allows for up to four tiers (IRR hurdles) and assumes only one sponsor (i.e., GP) and one LP. The first tier distributes cash flow to the partners until the LP has achieved some defined preferred return and received a full return of capital. Assuming the preferred return hurdle is hit in tier one, cash flow is distributed in tiers two through four based on a defined promote structure and hurdle rates as outlined by the user.



• Acquisition Summary:
A high level summary of the project key info including:
- Key Project Metrics (Total Storage Units, Net Rentable Area Ratio, Acquisition and Exit Yield, Stabilzed Yield on Equity and Cost)
- Uses & Sources of Cash
- Operations Summary (Gross Revenue, Net Operating Income, Net Cash Flow)
- Property Sale and Project Level Return Metrics (Unlevered & Levered)
- Partnership Level Return Summary (LP’s & GP’s)
- Dashboard

Detailed instruction for the use of the model are included in the excel file.
