When you buy almost anything, part of the value is the people who sold it. I would be very leary about buying a boat, renting a slip, storing a boat or even getting service from a marina that was obviously for sale.
Who knows who the new owners will be, could be that clown that I hate from that other marina. Will he honor agreements I have with the current owner? Why risk it, just go somewhere else.
Lot's of reasons for a business for sale to keep that fact secret. No reason not to, anyone with the money and skill to buy a multi-million dollar business, can very easily get the information.
