IREN proposes $875 million convertible notes offering due 2031
PARIS - Antin Infrastructure Partners (PARIS:ANTIN) has signed a binding agreement to acquire Aquavista Watersides & Marinas, the UK’s largest marina infrastructure provider, according to a press release statement.
The transaction, expected to close in October 2025, marks the sixth investment by Antin’s €2.2 billion Mid Cap Fund I. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Nottingham-based Aquavista operates 32 inland and coastal marinas with over 5,300 berths across the UK. The deal represents an exit for private equity investor LDC following a seven-year partnership during which Aquavista nearly tripled revenue and doubled its marina portfolio.
The acquisition positions Antin to capitalize on favorable market trends, including steady growth in UK boat ownership and increasing demand for residential berths, which have supported high occupancy rates and resilient revenues.
"Aquavista has all the characteristics we look for in our mid cap strategy, notably high barriers to entry and strong resiliency, and benefits from supportive long-term tailwinds," said Simon Soder and Assia Belkahia, Senior Partner and Partner at Antin Infrastructure Partners, respectively.
Aquavista CEO Steve de Polo and other management team members will remain invested alongside Antin’s Mid Cap Fund I.
Antin Infrastructure Partners manages over €33 billion in assets across its investment strategies, targeting the energy and environment, digital, transport and social infrastructure sectors. The firm is listed on Euronext Paris and appears undervalued according to InvestingPro analysis, which offers investors access to detailed financial metrics and additional investment insights.
