Suntex Marina Investors has acquired Two Georges Marina in Shalimar, Florida.
The property, formerly known as Shalimar Yacht Basin, will now operate under the new name Shalimar Harbor Marina.
The acquisition brings Shalimar Harbor Marina into the Suntex network as the second Emerald Coast property alongside Legendary Marina in Destin, Florida.
The acquisition adds 134 wet slips and 190 dry rack storage spaces to the Suntex network. Additional facilities include a fuel dock, a ship store, and on-site marine services.
The marina is located one mile from the Intracoastal Waterway and is close to Destin Pass, providing quick access to fishing, cruising, and water sports.
With both covered and uncovered wet slips, along with protected dry storage, the marina offers versatile options for our customers.
