Private equity giant Blackstone has agreed to acquire Safe Harbor Marinas, a Dallas-based marina and superyacht servicing company, for $5.65 billion from Sun Communities. Why it matters: This is a reminder that the pandemic-era boating boom didn't sink.

Sun Communities (NYSE:SUI) stock climbed 5.4% in early Monday trading after the REIT agreed to sell its Safe Harbor marinas business to private equity giant Blackstone (NYSE:BX) for $5.65B in an all-cash transaction.
