Anyone involved in the business knows what is going on. I would never buy a business when I don't know what will happen with the employees and customers. So the buyer will never allow you to "keep it from the customers".
No, I still am of the mind that this is very odd and not normal. If you want to sell something the more people know about it the better. You would be promoting this to other marinas in the area, even to those employees and customers who might be so happy with their treatment they might be interesting in buying. I see no "gain" in not promoting the name.
