Suntex Buys Lynn Creek Marina

Suntex Marina Investors, LLC (Suntex), has acquired Lynn Creek Marina located on Joe Pool Lake in Grande Prairie between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas.

Joe Pool Lake is a 7,500-acre flood control lake built and operated by the Army Corp of Engineers. The lake was filled in 1989 and is always kept 100% full. Lynn Creek Marina was built and began operations in July 1990, with 258 wet slips, 40 dry storage slips, a ships store, and a service center. The marina has been expanded twice since then bringing the total number of wet slips, capable of accommodating vessels up to 50-feet, to 528. The property also features 116 dry storage stacks for boats up to 28-feet and a 450-seat restaurant that was added in 1992.

The marina has a complete ships’ store, a rental boat fleet, a gasoline dock, boat ramp, and boat service center. The Oasis restaurant will be renamed the Blue Sunshine Patio Bar and Grill. Operating out of the marina, the Big Kahuna excursion boat will be renamed The Wave. The Wave has a 97-passenger capacity and is equipped with slides, coolers, lounge chairs, a Bluetooth stereo system, and BBQ grill that the captain and deckhands operate. There is a golf driving range located adjacent to the marina that will be renamed the Lynn Creek Driving Range.

The Suntex portfolio includes marinas located in California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, and Virginia.
