Answer - not very! There are a million details such as zoning, EPA and water use, environmental impact studies, wildlife preservation, not to mention insurance for everything from injury, oil spills, fire, natural disasters to like hurricanes and tropical storms. The list goes on and on. Starting up a marina is just too complicated in most places and can only really be done by corporations with very deep pockets and political muscle.
- - However, taking over an old marginal marina or leasing a part of it from the owner can bypass a lot of the hassles of a new place. So long as the old owner maintains ownership he usually has "grandfathered" privileges that new owners or builders do not have. That can save mega-dollars and hassles.
