Broadfield has advised its long-standing client, Premier Marinas, on the acquisition of Dart Marina Group, a Dartmouth-based collection of businesses. As part of the transaction, our client acquired a luxury riverside hotel, yacht harbour, and the Dartmouth to Kingswear ‘Higher Ferry’, further expanding their already impressive presence in the region. Funded by The Wellcome Trust, Premier Marina’s owner, the acquisition creates a combined portfolio of 22 locations across the country.
This is a major milestone on Premier Marinas’ growth trajectory, and it reconfirms their identity as a leading marina operator in the UK. This addition further strengthens their South Coast network, creating unbeatable flexibility and broader choice for their clients.
Broadfield’s team was led by Corporate Partners Sean Kelly and Oliver Kelly and supported by Corporate Solicitor David Crease, Philip Alfandary (Corporate Tax) and John Newton (Property).
“We are pleased to have supported Premier Marinas on their latest acquisition and to have been able to work alongside them for many years. This transaction highlights a breakthrough in their growth plans and further establishes them as a market leader. Our team has a history of excellence in acting for clients on their mergers and acquisitions, and we are looking forward to working with Premier Marinas on their future pursuits.”
