Boat Slips & Marinas

The Boat Facility category on PrimeMLS covers a wider range of properties than most buyers expect — from a single deeded slip on a private association dock, to a covered boathouse condo, to a full operating marina with multiple rental berths, fuel service, and indoor winter storage. Pricing reflects that spread: individual slips on Lake Winnipesaukee can change hands in the low five figures, while a functioning marina business may list for several million.

The Lakes Region boating season runs roughly Memorial Day through mid-October. Most of what you’ll see here is deeded slip ownership or marina interests; covered slips and waterfront docks are tightly regulated by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services under RSA 482-A and the Shoreland Water Quality Protection Act. If you’re evaluating a slip purchase or sizing up a marina as an investment, it’s worth understanding what’s grandfathered, what can and can’t be expanded, and how shoreland setbacks affect future modifications. Our guide on boathouse regulations walks through the 2024–2025 NHDES rule changes and what they mean for buyers and sellers.

For waterfront homes that include a private dock or boathouse with the property, browse the main for-sale listings — the Boat Facility category here is specifically for stand-alone slip, dock, and marina sales.
