AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION
The subject property consists of a fully developed marina currently operating os American Yacht
Harbor & Marina, as well as 47,344 square feet of retail and office space situated on the landside
portion of the site. The subject's street address is 6100 Red Hook Quarters #2, in St. Thomas, USVI.
OWNERSHIP AND PROPERTY HISTORY
Title to the upland portion of the property is currently vested in the name of IGY-AYH St. Thomas
Holdings, LLC, who acquired title to the property in January 2007, os recorded in the St. Thomas/St.
Johns Deed Records. The submerged land is currently under the ownership of the Coastal Zone
Management Commission and leased to IGY-AYH St. Thomas Holdings, LLC through September 14,
2010 via an assignment under a Coastal Zone Management Permit (CZM). The current lease began
on September, 2000 with a ten year term. Renewal of the CZM permits is not prohibitive and will
likely be granted upon expiration of the current permit. The total consideration for the January 2007
transaction was $25,500,000. The subject was part of a larger purchase of four marinas properties
in the Caribbean. The seller was Sun Resorts, which owned the subject outright and various interests
in the other three marinas. The sale price is slightly higher than our value estimate, which could be
the result of allocated costs of the portfolio sale. Other than that noted herein, there hos been no
other ownership transfer of the property during the previous three years. As of the dote of value, the
subject is not being marketed for sale.

AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA INTRODUCTION
• Effective dote of opinion
• Relevant characteristics about the subject
• Assignment conditions
This appraisal of the subject has been presented in the form of a Self-Contained Appraisal Report,
which is intended to comply with the reporting requirements set forth under Standards Rule 2-2(a) of
USPAP. That is, this report incorporates, to the fullest extent possible, practical explanation of the
data, reasoning and analysis that were used to develop the opinion of value. This report also includes
thorough descriptions of the subject and the market for the property type. CBRE completed the
following steps for this assignment:
Extent to Which the Property is Identified
CBRE collected the relevant information about the subject from the owner (or representatives), public
records and through an inspection of the subject. The property was legally identified through its
postal address, assessor's records and legal description. Economic characteristics of the subject were
identified via an analysis of a recent rent roll for both the marina and retail/office space and historical
operating statements.
Extent to Which the Property is Inspected
CBRE inspected both the interior and exterior of the subject, os well as its surrounding environs on the
effective date of appraisal.
Type and Extent of the Data Researched
CBRE reviewed the micro and/or macro market environments with respect to physical and economic
factors relevant to the valuation process. This process included interviews with regional and/or local
market participants, available published data, and other various resources. CBRE also conducted
regional and/or local research with respect to applicable tax data, zoning requirements, flood zone
status, demographics, income and expense data, and comparable listing, sale and rental information.
Type and Extent of Analysis Applied
CBRE analyzed the data gathered through the use of appropriate and accepted appraisal
methodology to arrive at a probable value indication via each applicable approach to value.
Approaches to value used include the Sales Comparison Approach and the Income Approach. The
steps required to complete each approach are discussed in the methodology section. CBRE then
correlated and reconciled the results into a reasonable and defensible value conclusion, as defined
herein. A reasonable exposure time and marketing time associated with the value estimate presented
hos also been concluded.

SPECIAL APPRAISAL INSTRUCTIONS
There have been no special appraisal instructions for this assignment.
EXPOSURE/MARKETING TIME
Current appraisal guidelines require an estimate of a reasonable time period in which the subject
property could be brought to market and sold. This reasonable time frame can either be examined
historically or prospectively. In a historic analysis, this is referred to as exposure time. Exposure time
always precedes the date of value, with the underlying premise being the time a property would have
been on the market prior to the date of value, such that it would sell at its appraised value as of the
date of value. On a prospective basis, the term marketing time is most often used. The
exposure/marketing time is a function of price, time, and use. It is not an isolated estimate of time
alone. It is different for various types of real estate and under various market conditions.
A discussion of an appropriate exposure/marketing time estimate for the subject properly is presented
in the following sections.
In consideration of these factors, we have analyzed the following:
• exposure periods for comparable sales used in this appraisal;
• marketing time information from the CBRE National Investor Survey; and
• the opinions of market participants.
The following table presents the information derived from these sources.

Source: CBRE National Investor Survey
The CBRE Notional Investor Survey does not have a classification for marinas; therefore we have
chosen the asset class most similar to the ownership position in the subject site. In addition to the
survey data, we have also reviewed the assumptions and conclusions reached in the Valuation section
of this report, particularly the income estimates and rotes of return. Based on these analyses, we hove
concluded an exposure/marketing time of 9 months or less would be considered reasonable for the
subject property.

This exposure/marketing time reflects current economic conditions, current real estate investment
market conditions, the terms and availability of financing for real estate acquisitions, and property and
market-specific factors. It assumes that the subject property is (or has been) actively and professionally
marketed. The marketing/exposure time would apply to all valuation premises included in this report.

Urban Growth Trend
St. Thomos had followed a sectorial urban growth trend. Most of the urban growth has followed
government and military built infrastructure and tourist developments. There were a total of 24,030
housing units in Saint Thomas as of 2000. Of the total number of units, 23,083 were urban units and
947 rural units. About 81% of the units (19,458) were occupied and 19% were vacant (4,572). Of
the occupied housing units about 41% (8,048) were owner occupied and about 59% (11,410) were
rented units. The median age of the housing units is 25 years as of 2000. As the figures reveal Saint
Thomas is predominantly a housing rental market.
St. Thomos' retail and institutional activities have historically taken place around its traditional core
towns. There are numerous standalone retail and office buildings within the Charlotte Amalie core
urban center and along the principal roads and avenues. The Havensight commercial area and shops
along the boulevards and alleys of the Charlotte Amalie district cater mostly the cruise ship tourist
population. Red Hook hos two retail centers, American Yacht Harbor and Red Hook Plaza. Adjacent
to the east side of the Red Hook Plaza is a new retail/office development under construction. This
center is known as East End Plaza and will contain about 72,000 square feet of retail and office.
According to the leasing agent, the center has secured two banks, several fast food restaurants and
several economic groups moving from established business in Charlotte Amalie. Rents are quoted at
$50 to $60 per square foot with a pass through of $5.00, excluding real estate taxes and insurance.
The center has applied for an exemption of real estate taxes; however, it has not yet been granted.
The leasing agent indicated pass-throughs would increase by $3.00 per square foot if the exemption
is not granted.
In general, real estate values and rents are expected to remain at the current levels, which is
proportionate to the area economic growth. Rental rates hove not changed significantly in a number
of years, although in centers in the Red Hook area, rents have increased as the area attracts more
attention from businesses wanting to move from the central business district. Further, economic
incentives offered to new developments, or developments planning significant capital improvements
hos also had a positive effect on rental rate growth in Red Hook.

NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
LOCATION
The neighborhood is located on the island of St. Thomas and is considered a suburban location. The
city of Red Hook is located in southeastern portion of the island, about 20 mile east of the Charlotte
Amalie Business District. The subject property lies within the Red Hook, Quarter #2, which lies within
the east portion of the neighborhood.

AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
BOUNDARIES
The neighborhood boundaries are detailed os follows:
North: Highway 38
South: Vessup Boy
East: Atlantic Ocean
West: Highway 32
LAND USE
Land uses within the subject neighborhood consist of a mixture of commercial and residential
development. The immediate area surrounding the subject consists of the major commercial
developments in Red Hook. The ferry dock for the connection to St. John is adjacent to the east line
of the subject and is a major generator of tourist traffic for the area. The majority of the single-family
residential development within a one mile radius of the subject may be described as rural homes in
the $100,000 to over $1,000,000 price range for homes on the waterfront. The area is somewhat
remote and interior subdivision roads ore one-lane asphalt paved facilities. The topography of the
subject area is generally sloping, with numerous properties built with the terrain incorporated in to the
design. Most of the single-family residences appear to hove been constructed over twenty years ago
and are generally in average to good condition.
GROWTH PATTERNS
Growth patterns on the island generally follow the tourist industry and concentrate mainly in the
Charlotte Amalie and Havensight areas, west of the subject. As mentioned, the Red Hook area
houses one of the ferries used for inter-island transportation to and from St. Johns and Tortola, BVI.
Cowpet Bay, just south of Red Hook is on upscale residential area featuring water views and frontage.
In general, the growth patterns of St. Thomas are tied to the cruise lines and tourist, but also depend
heavily on improvements made by the local government in terms of roads, utility services and other
municipal services. There is limited vacant developable commercial land available; however, there
appears to be ample vacant residential land. In most cases, the residential land is along the slopes of
the mountains and is difficult to develop. Most sites that have been developed are developed with the
improvements on the high side of the lot, affording the best views possible.
ACCESS
Primary access to the subject neighborhood is provided by Highwoy 30 to Highway 32. Highway 30
and Highway 32 are part of the circular highway around the island. The highway numbering changes
several times as it traverses the island; however, Highway 30 is the southern most and busiest portion.
Highwoy 30 provides access to and from the Cyril E. King Airport, Charlotte Amalie and Havensight,
the predominant developments on the island. Highway 32 provides access to Red Hook and more or

AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS
less forms a circle from Highway 30 to the west as Highway 38 further north and west. For the most
port, these highways are two lane asphalt paved facilities with no shoulder.
The commute to the Charlotte Amalie Business District from the subject neighborhood is about thirty
minutes. The drive to the Cyril E. King Airport takes about forty minutes. The airport provides service
to American Airlines and several smaller airlines.
CONCLUSION
The neighborhood appears to be predominately rural residential in nature with the American Yacht
Harbor and Red Hook Plaza, for the most part, comprising the commercial developments in the oreo.
Many homes ore second homes for owners and most take advantage of the elevated views of the
Caribbean Sea and the surrounding countryside. Smaller communities ore located to the west of Red
Hook and comprise of older residential homes with free-standing commercial facilities were demand
warrants.
The subject property is o 2.12-acre landside site with a southerly view of the Vessup Boy. The view is
unobstructed. Very little new development was noted in the immediate area; however, there is o new
retail/office development under construction just east of the subject across Red Hook Rood (Highway
32). Red Hook's interior roads are one•lane asphalt paved, with some being grovel paved. In
general, the immediate area is rural in nature with supporting facilities concentrated around the
subject and the ferry docks. Property values appear to be relatively constant.

LOCATION
The subject is on the north side of the Vessup Bay, and the south side of Red Hook Road (Highway
32), adjacent to the west side of the St John/Tortola Ferry landing. The street address is 6100 Red
Hook Quarters #2, Red Hook Quarter #2, USVI.
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER
The Tax Assessor's parcel numbers for the upland portion of the subject are 1-07702-0134-00, 1-
07702-0133-00 and 1-07702-0135-00. The submerged portion of the subject is owned by the
Coastal Zone Management Commission and is not subject to ad valorem taxes. Further, the landside
or upland portion of the subject site is exempt from real estate taxes through December 31, 2001, as
a result of an Economic Development Commission (EDC) tax exempt status. This status was granted
based on the need for development of properties in the Red Hook area and granted to the subject
property due to the renovations and upgrades to the improvements. According to the general
manager, the exemption will likely be granted again upon the expiration of the current exemption;
however, he indicated the exemption may not be 100%, but hos no way to determine the likely
percentage of the exemption. Apparently the exemption will depend on the amount of capital
improvements to the property and could conceivably remain at 100%. We have assumed the current
exemption will be extended at the current 100% exemption rate.
LAND AREA
The londside portion of the site contains 2.12 acres or 92,347 square feet of land. The submerged
land contains 3.20 acres or 139,392 square feet and is adjacent to the southern boundary of the
landside tract. There is no unusable, excess or surplus land area.

TOPOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE
The portion of the landside site immediately adjacent to Red Hook Road is generally level and at street
grade. The topography then slopes significantly towards the southern boundary and Vessup Boy. The
topography of the site is not seen as an impediment to the development of the property. During our
inspection of the site, we observed no drainage problems and assume that none exist. The southern
3.20 acres of the site is submerged land owned by the government.
SOILS
A soil analysis for the site has not been provided for the preparation of this appraisal. In the absence
of a soil report, it is a specific assumption that the site hos adequate soils to support the highest and
best use.
EASEMENTS AND ENCROACHMENTS
A title policy for the property hos not been provided for the preparation of this appraisal. Based on
our visual inspection and review of the site plan, the property does not appear to be adversely affected
by any easements or encroachments. It is recommended that the client/reader obtain a current title
policy outlining all easements and encroachments on the property, if any, prior to making a business
decision.

pay for parking, with only a few spaces available in the front of the buildings for patron parking.
Tenant parking is available in an under-building parking garages below Buildings B and C.
COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
The subject property is subject to the restrictions within the Submerged Land Lease administered by the
Coastal Zone Management Commission. Without this lease, the subject property would not be
allowed to operate, os it defines the lease area, specific uses of the property, lease rate, and expense
responsibility. The lease is included in the Addenda. Further, the landside portion of the site is
restricted by zoning from St. Thomas.
UTILITIES AND SERVICES
The site is within the jurisdiction of St. Thomas and is provided municipal services, including police
and fire protection. Electricity is supplied by WAPA (Water & Power Authority), while sewer is provided
by the Nazareth Water Treatment facility. Water is furnished on-site via a 25,000 gallon desalination
plant owned and operated by the subject. All utilities are available to the site in adequate quality and
quantity to service the highest and best use as if vacant and as improved. Electricity and water are
charged to the docks as metered. Water is charged to the retail/office tenants based on metered
usage as well. Trash removal is also charged to the retail/office tenants, typically on a fixed monthly
rate os predetermined by the type of use in the leased space.
FLOOD ZONE
According to flood hazard mops published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
the site is within Zone A, as indicated on the indicated Community Map Panel No. 780000 0020E.
FEMA Zone A: Special flood hazard areas subject to inundation by the 100-year
flood. Because detailed hydraulic analyses have not been performed, no base flood
elevations or depths are shown. Mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements
apply.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
CBRE hos not observed, yet is not qualified to detect, the existence of potentially hazardous material
or underground storage tanks that moy be present on or near the site. The existence of hazardous
materials or underground storage tanks may have on affect on the value of the property. For this
appraisal, CBRE has specifically assumed that the property is not affected by any hazardous materials
and/or underground storage tanks that moy be present on or near the property.

AMERICAN YACHT HARBOR & MARINA SITE ANALYSIS
North: Red Hook Plaza
South: Vessup Bay
East: St. John/Tortola Ferry Landing
West: Old commercial development (appears to be closed)
CONCLUSION
The site hos a remote location in terms of proximity to the primary tourist attractions and destinations,
but afforded good access and visibility from the roadway frontage. It does have good access to the
fishing grounds in the Atlantic Ocean, which is o positive consideration for o marina operation in
limiting the amount of fuel boat owners must use to and from the best fishing grounds in the Atlantic.
The size of the site is typical for the use, and there are no known detrimental uses in the immediate
vicinity. The submerged land is subject to wove action from the open waters of Vessup Boy and on-
site traffic and parking is considered poor. The parking factor hos o negative impact on maximizing
the income potential of the subject.

IMPROVEMENT ANALYSIS
The capacity (in terms of length), water ingress and egress, pedestrian access, quality of dockage and
site improvements (as well as any other amenities) has a direct influence on its marketability and
operating success of a marina. Likewise, on-site parking, ease of access and security are paramount
for retail success. Design and functionality can affect the operations and profitability, also. These
factors and how they affect the subject ore analyzed and presented below.

DESIGN AND LAYOUT
The subject property consists of two primary uses, retail/office and a marina. The retail/office portion
is on the landside portion of the site, as well as the dock master's office. The boot slips extend from
the southern edge of the landside site into Vessup Boy. Primary vehicular ingress/egress is via four
curb cuts along Red Hook Road. Parking, although limited, is available along the front of the
retail/office improvements, as well as a parking garage under Building B and C. Parking in the
garage is for retail/office tenants and in some cases for on additional fee. Water ingress/egress is via
a channel cut from the Atlantic Ocean known as Vessup Boy. The channel depth does not appear to
affect the use of the subject by larger vessels with drafts in excess of 4'.
The basic construction features are summarized as follows.
FOUNDATION
The foundation of the building improvements is reinforced concrete footings and columns, while the
foundation of the dockage is concrete pylons.
CONSTRUCTION COMPONENTS
The frame of the building improvements is wood or steel, with the exterior walls being wood siding.
The deck areas are wood planks atop the concrete pylons.
DOCK MASTER'S OFFICE
The dock master's office area is located under the decking of Building B & C and faces the marina.
This building is constructed of wood framing and plaster finish. The dock master's office is located
just north of C Dock.
RETAIL/OFFICE BUILDINGS
There are six building structures to the north of the marina. Except for Building F, these buildings are
two-story structures constructed with wood or steel framing and plaster on the lower level exterior
walls. The upper levels hove wood siding on the exterior walls. Roof covering is galvanized metal
and most buildings hove on overhang with wood decking for pedestrian traffic and access to the
upper level. Access to the upper levels is via steel framed stairwells, as well as on elevator between
Buildings B & C. Building F, located in the northwest corner of the site is a one-story structure at street
grade, cantilevering into a second, lower level as the terrain slopes towards the south. This building
hos a flat roof and is in fair condition. This building houses four tenants, the largest being the East
End Café. The lower level is slated for construction of new storage units for slip tenants. Six new
storage units hove been installed, with another 23 planned for the rest of the lower level. Two of the
storage units will be utilized as storage for the marina owner. The cost to complete the n
