Welsh Marina For Sale - Just £2.5m For The Lot
#WaterfrontProperty - Aberystwyth Marina and its 150 berths in West Wales are on the market, and the whole lot could be yours for just £2.5 million (€2.9 million), according to Wales Online.
The 23-acre marina, which has planning permission for an extra 40 boat moorings, reportedly has an annual turnover of more than £300,000, and is the first marina in the UK to be available on the open market for more than five years.
Located on the banks of the River Rheidol as it flows into Cardigan Bay, Aberystwyth Marina has the added benefit of being just a day's crossing of the Irish Sea from the East Coast of Ireland and our bustling sailing scene.
But pretenders beware - current owner Merlin Developments is only looking to sell the business to an experienced and proven operator.

Details of 8th Annual Rib Run Unveiled
Details of the eighth annual Rib Run from Cork to Wales were announced on Thursday.
The event will see 15 rigid inflatable boats (ribs) set off from Kinsale on 5 May following a 400-nautical-mile route to Aberystwyth.
The Irish Examiner reports that in previous years the Rib Run has raised more than €260,000 for RNLI lifeboats and the south coast trawler tragedy appeal.
According to event chairman David O'Leary, all crews taking part pay their own expenses which ensures that all money raised goes to charity.
