Suntex Marina Investors, LLC (Suntex), a recognized leader setting the standard for excellence in the ownership and operation of marinas, has announced the acquisition of Conch Harbor Marina in Key West, Florida.

Designated a Clean Marina by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Conch Harbor Marina is situated in one of the busiest protected marina areas in the Keys - the "Bight". A premium location, just steps away from Duval Street, Key West, Conch Harbor is the ideal jumping off point to explore the southernmost city in the contiguous United States.

Conch Harbor can accommodate vessels up to 200-feet and each slip is equipped with power and pump out services. Boat slips are available to book on a transient basis and the marina is the exclusive ValvTect dealer in Key West, the highest-quality fuel with high-speed filling from an easy-access dock.

The marina provides a number of onsite amenities such as a Ship Store; a West Marine; showers and laundry facilities; a swimming pool; two restaurants - Dante's Restaurant & Tiki Bar and Prime 951 Steakhouse; bait and fishing supplies; and more. For guests, the marina offers scuba diving, fishing and sailing charters, complimentary notary services, a private lounge area with hammocks and bike rentals free of charge.

"We are excited to add this historic facility to our portfolio with its longstanding place as a staple in the local community," said Sam Chavers, Senior Vice President, Operations, Suntex Marinas. "This marina is important to the heart of Key West's historic seaport. We respect the impact it has on the local area and are looking to continue to build our relationships with and grow this community."

A pristine, tropical paradise, Key West is one of the premier yachting destinations in the United States. Each year, thousands of commercial, recreational and pleasure boaters visit the Florida Keys to fish, dive, snorkel and enjoy a wealth of activities on the water, including kayaking and paddle board sports. Key West itself attracts more than two million visitors per year. The Florida Keys' surrounding waters are protected by the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, extending from south of Miami westward to encompass the Dry Tortugas. One of the most precious natural ecosystems is the coral reef that parallels the Florida Keys — the only living coral barrier reef in the continental United States.

The Suntex portfolio includes marinas located in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee and Virginia.
