Safe Harbor Marinas Acquires Christophe Harbour Marina in St. Kitts

Say hello to Blackstone. The New York, NY-based infrastructure arm of this global investment company, which manages over $1 trillion in assets, acquired Safe Harbor Marinas from Sun Communities in February for $5.65 billion.

Safe Harbor Marinas is the largest marina and superyacht servicing business in the U.S., owning and operating 138 marinas across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

Safe Harbor’s Presence in Puerto Rico

One of the two marinas in Puerto Rico is Safe Harbor San Juan, with 1,200 linear feet of dockage between Piers 9 and 10, capable of accommodating yachts up to 450 feet LOA.

The second is Safe Harbor Puerto del Rey in Fajardo, one of the largest marinas in the Caribbean, with 1,200 wet slips.

Branding and Operational Continuity

Safe Harbor will continue to operate under its existing name despite the new investment by Blackstone.

“That means the Safe Harbor naming and branding will remain for these, and all, Safe Harbor locations,” says Brad Alesi, chief marketing officer for Safe Harbor Marinas.

Expansion to St. Kitts

On May 27, Safe Harbor Marinas announced its newest location: Christophe Harbour Marina in St. Kitts.

The naturally protected harbor, world-class amenities, and essential superyacht infrastructure position it as one of the Eastern Caribbean’s premier yachting destinations. The marina can accommodate vessels up to 380 feet LOA.

“St. Kitts will now become a part of Safe Harbor’s portfolio of marinas into which Blackstone invested. The Christophe Harbour Marina will become Safe Harbor in St. Kitts,” says Alesi.
