Colliers Arranges Sale of 31.17-Acre Surfside Marina to Morningstar Properties

Colliers has arranged the sale of Surfside Marina, a 31.17-acre marina property in Surfside Beach, Texas, to Morningstar Properties, LLC. The sale price was not disclosed. Business & Financial published the announcement on November 13, 2026.

Colliers is a global diversified professional services and investment management company operating through commercial real estate, engineering and investment management businesses. Morningstar Properties is the buyer; the seller is VIP Marinas.

Colliers' Surfside Marina Sale Terms

Colliers arranged the sale of the marina at 827 Gulf Road, approximately 65 miles south of downtown Houston. Andrew Cantor, Matt Putnam and Dan Grovatt of Colliers, who specialize in leisure property advisory, represented VIP Marinas. The buyer was not represented by a broker.

"VIP Marinas doesn't sell assets often, so it was very important for us to create a positive situation for our employees and our marina members," said Austin Cameron, co-owner, founder and CEO of VIP Marinas. "The process Colliers ran was incredibly successful in getting maximum exposure in the market and allowed us to make an informed decision with that in mind."

The property has two adjacent campuses totaling 31.17 acres: a 29.57-acre main campus and a 1.60-acre secondary campus known as Barn C / Gulf Coast Marina, acquired in 2021. Surfside Marina features 312 indoor dry storage racks, 38 wet slips, indoor and outdoor trailer storage for more than 80 trailers, 69 secure storage lockers and 20 RV pads with full utility hookups.

"Surfside Marina has demonstrated steady operational growth and offers an opportunity to further enhance its performance through additional development," said Putnam, senior vice president at Colliers. The site has space for the buyer to add 2,000 square feet of retail space, previously occupied by a boat dealership, and Putnam said the footprint allows for another dry storage barn.
