Business Overview:
Located on a pristine, waterfront beach, this business offers up exciting adventure and activity for water lovers of all ages. Hugging the coast of northeastern North Carolina this business has been creating exciting activities for families for over 20 years. Positioned conveniently on a main thoroughfare, excitement resounds as soon as you pull in the parking lot. The business provides literally every imaginable watercraft for rental and use. Starting with bumper boats for some short excitement, the business expands to rentals of surfboards, paddle boards, sailboats, kayaks, and jet skis to name just a few. Boat excursions are included for those looking for something with a little less excitement and total relaxation. For those who are not wild about the water, bicycle rentals are available for rides along the sand swept waterfront. In addition, this business offers delivery of beach equipment. The business, without exception, has something for everyone.
This business opportunity is seasonal and offers up a unique approach to business ownership. The winter months provide for the owner the ability to travel and relax, or for the very driven, the ability to venture into another business opportunity off-season. The area the business resides in is sought after, a great place to live, raise a family, and participate in a superb lifestyle.
In-season (mid-May to end of September) the business is nonstop from morning to night. Eighteen employees support the operation during the heavy months in addition to the owner. It’s a lot of activity and hard work, as the owner and employees are focused on customer service. Days are filled with customer transactions, boat orientations, off-site rentals, returns, maintenance, and more. In place is a great software system to handle all the customer activity as well as online reservations. You can literally make money while you sleep. It’s a lifestyle of bathing suits, being outdoors, being in the water, and making people happy.
The area surrounding the business offers up excellent dining opportunities as well as quick snacks, cool drinks, and ice cream. Again, something for everyone. The business has been a dream come true for the owner who now finds himself at a time where retirement is on the horizon but his love for the business and his desire to see it go forward will provide a buyer a super transition and comfortable takeover.
