Business Overview

Operating for nearly three decades, this seasonal boat rental enterprise provides a stable and flexible income stream supported by a seasoned management team responsible for daily operations. Situated within a leased 4,000-square-foot facility, the business benefits from a long-standing reputation and a loyal customer base during its May through October season. The model delivers premium margins while offering the new owner the opportunity to engage with minimal hands-on involvement if desired. With a workforce of 16 employees, including full- and part-time positions, the business is structured to accommodate either a strategic investor seeking a semi-passive income or an operator aiming to actively grow revenue. The region’s economy is steady, bolstered by a diverse local workforce and a modestly expanding population.
