A rare opportunity to acquire one of Northern Virginia's premier waterfront marina properties, Aquia Bay Marina offers direct access to the Potomac River from the protected waters of Aquia Creek. Situated on nearly 3 waterfront acres, this established marina combines a thriving operation with exceptional long-term investment and redevelopment potential in one of the region's most desirable boating markets.
The marina features approximately 90 deep-water slip areas, secure gated access, gasoline and diesel fuel services, dry boat storage, a 35-ton travel lift, ship's store, marine service facilities, picnic and recreation areas, and ample customer parking—creating multiple revenue streams with year-round income potential.
Boaters enjoy protected docking with immediate access to the Potomac River, making Aquia Bay Marina an ideal home port for fishing, cruising, waterfront dining, watersports, and destinations throughout the Chesapeake Bay.
Existing improvements include substantial dock systems, marine infrastructure, storage buildings, repair and service facilities, customer amenities, and waterfront support areas designed to accommodate both seasonal and year-round operations. The marina also benefits from excellent accessibility to Interstate 95, the Virginia Railway Express (VRE), and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, positioning it to serve one of the fastest-growing boating populations on the East Coast.
Whether continued as a successful full-service marina, expanded with additional marine services and dry storage, repositioned as a premier waterfront destination, or held as a long-term investment, Aquia Bay Marina offers a truly exceptional waterfront asset with tremendous upside.
One of the property's most significant competitive advantages is its location in Stafford County, where boats are not subject to personal property tax under current county policy—an attractive benefit for boat owners and a compelling marketing advantage for marina operators.
Its strategic location places boaters within easy cruising distance of Fairview Beach, Colonial Beach, National Harbor, Washington, D.C., and the Chesapeake Bay, making Aquia Bay Marina one of the most conveniently located marinas on the Potomac River.
