The transaction was exclusively brokered by National Marina Sales, a leading firm specializing in marina transactions across the United States. The acquisition marks a significant milestone for the property and underscores continued investor confidence in the marina and recreational boating sector.

Situated along the southern shoreline of Lake Michigan, Marina Shores at Dune Harbor is regarded as one of the region’s most distinctive and well-appointed marinas. The property offers a protected harbor with modern floating docks, over 265 slips accommodating a wide range of vessel sizes, and convenient access to both open water and nearby natural attractions. Its proximity to the Indiana Dunes National Park and surrounding recreational amenities make it a popular destination for seasonal boaters, transient visitors, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

In addition to its docking facilities, Marina Shores at Dune Harbor features a suite of on-site amenities designed to enhance the overall boating and leisure experience. These include a fabulous Yacht Club with swimming pool, bars, restaurants, full gymnasium, wine bar, along with a separate harbor master’s office, gas and diesel fuel services, locking gates on each dock (accessible by key-fob), fish-cleaning facility, and welcoming communal spaces that foster a vibrant boating community. The marina’s thoughtful design and well-maintained infrastructure have contributed to its strong reputation as a high-quality destination within the Great Lakes region.

The buyers, Peter and Erin Meiusi, are experienced marina owners and operators with a strategic vision for preserving and enhancing the marina’s existing strengths. Under their ownership, the property is expected to benefit from continued operational excellence as well as targeted investments aimed at elevating the guest’s experience. Planned initiatives may include facility upgrades, expanded service offerings, and potential future development opportunities that align with the character and appeal of the surrounding environment.

For the Portage community, the transition in ownership represents continuity as well as opportunity. Marina Shores at Dune Harbor has long been an important local amenity, contributing to tourism, recreation, and economic activity in the area. With new ownership committed to maintaining and enhancing the marina, the property is well-positioned to continue serving residents and visitors for years to come.

National Marina Sales represented the transaction, leveraging its industry expertise and extensive network to bring the deal to a successful close. “This sale highlights the ongoing strength of the marina market and the appeal of well-positioned waterfront assets,” says Rick Roughen, owner of National Marina Sales. “We are proud to have facilitated this transaction and look forward to seeing Marina Shores thrive under its new ownership.”
