Antin Infrastructure Partners to Acquire UK Marina Leader Aquavista

Antin Infrastructure Partners has announced a binding agreement to acquire Aquavista Watersides & Marinas, the UK's largest marina infrastructure provider. Established in 2003 and headquartered in Nottingham, Aquavista operates 32 marinas offering over 5,300 berths nationwide.

This acquisition concludes a successful seven-year period under private equity investor LDC, during which Aquavista nearly tripled its revenues and doubled its marina portfolio. Aquavista's growth was significantly bolstered by strategic acquisitions, including Castle Marinas in 2021. The company benefits from rising UK boat ownership and increasing demand for residential berths.

Antin’s Mid Cap Fund I will complete its sixth investment with this acquisition. Antin focuses on infrastructure investments in the energy, environment, digital, transport, and social sectors across Europe and North America. The deal is expected to close in October 2025.
