Unique Self Drive Noosa River Boat Hire Enterprise Delivering High Margins and Low Overheads

An exceptional opportunity exists to acquire a Turn-key, highly profitable boat hire business operating in prime Noosaville on the world renowned Noosa River.

The enterprise hires out purpose built, self drive round boats designed for effortless water exploration, requiring no marine licence for customers.

Positioned on a busy jetty shared with a bustling cafe, the business captures continuous foot traffic from a steady stream of domestic and international tourists year round.

Acquired at the end of 2023 and built into a recognised, well reviewed local brand, the operation features exceptionally low overheads anchored by an enviable rent of just $6,600 per annum. The fleet has recently been refreshed with new paint, updated branding, and new bilge pumps.

Operating as a low touch business, the vendor currently works just 10 to 12 hours per week, with an existing weekly tour contract already covering the majority of fixed operating costs.

Key Highlights

• Prime Geographic Location: Situated in Noosaville on a high foot traffic jetty shared with a busy cafe, offering high exposure to Noosa River visitors.

• Low Overheads and Secure Lease: Highly affordable leasehold rent of $6,600 per annum, with the landlord agreeing to provide a new 3 year lease with a further renewal option.

• High Profit Margins: Low touch operational model with an existing weekly contract that covers the majority of fixed running costs.

• Flexible Lifestyle Operations: Currently operated by a single owner working approximately 10 to 12 hours per week with zero additional employees required.

• Unique Vessel Fleet: Features purpose built, licence free round boats that appeal directly to the booming market for experiential tourism activities.

• Turn-key Infrastructure: Includes complete operational booking and admin systems, established branding, and strong ongoing enquiry pipelines.

This Scalable enterprise presents immense upside for an incoming owner operator or lifestyle buyer looking to expand a Turn-key business.

Immediate revenue growth can be unlocked simply by reactivating general bookings, extending daily trading hours into lucrative sunset hires, and listing on major travel platforms such as Airbnb Experiences and Viator.

Further growth opportunities include forming hotel concierge partnerships, targeting corporate group bookings, and securing additional contracted tour partnerships alongside the existing weekly contract.

The business is offered for sale due to a genuine interstate relocation for a partner's work commitment.

To ensure a seamless transition, the vendor will provide a comprehensive training and handover period covering boat operation and maintenance, booking systems, key supplier contacts, and introductions to the existing contract partner.

With summer fast approaching and enquiries already coming in for a business not currently taking general bookings, there's a genuine window here for the right buyer to step in and capture peak season from day one.
