01 · THE OVERVIEW

About this business

In the broker's words

Full description, as written by the broker

This business started more than 20 years ago in Cape Tribulation, putting groups on the water in Far North Queensland. Around 14 years ago the owner brought it south to Sydney Harbour, where it has built a strong name and excellent reviews.

Now the owner is stepping back from skippering, and the business is offered with net profit of $117k, a vessel ready to go and bookings already in the diary.

The vessel is a 13.5 m party catamaran with a front deck, large cabin and rooftop lounge, plus a giant slide and ocean swimming pool. A supply contract covers Saturday charters through to April 2027, plus 6 to 8 Sundays, with an option to extend to a three-year term.

The big spending has been done. The twin engines and generator are around three years old, with a new fire suppression system ($12,000), a sewage system compliant with the NSW Sewage Management Program and the rooftop lounge (about $30,000).

A private mooring with walk-on, walk-off access, a documented Safety Management System and casual crew keep operations simple. The owner's role is mainly bookings and agent follow-ups, and full training and ongoing assistance are provided after settlement.

Growth Potential

The vendor has identified clear upside: a liquor licence with food and drink catering, targeting the backpacker market, running three charters a day on three midweek days, and growing direct bookings to cut agent commissions.

Whom the Business Is For

Best suited to a hands-on owner-operator. A skipper's licence removes the cost of hiring a skipper, and the vendor recommends the owner be on board to keep the guest experience at its best.

The sale is subject to an approved survey report, and buyers may engage their own surveyor.
