Fun and profitable Tour Boat Business

Established tour boat business operating since 2019 in the scenic Fort Myers Beach area, offering an exceptional opportunity in Florida's thriving marine tourism market. This turnkey operation features a 4 year old 35-foot Trident vessel with USCG Certificate of Inspection for 20 passengers and recently upgraded engine, ensuring reliable and safe operations. The business specializes in diverse tour offerings including dolphin watching excursions, shelling trips, sunset cruises, booze cruises, and private event charters for bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthdays, and corporate gatherings.

This diversified service portfolio provides multiple revenue streams and appeals to both tourists and local clientele seeking unique water experiences. Key Assets: visibility The current owner operated conservatively, not running seven days per week, presenting immediate expansion opportunities for a more aggressive operator. The business benefits from Fort Myers Beach's year-round tourist traffic and growing popularity as a Southwest Florida destination.

Financial Potential: Bookings average $400–$1500 per trip. If operated full-time, the business can support 2–5 tours daily. This translates to annual revenue potential of $292,000–$766,000 with estimated cash flow (SDE) ranging from $125,000–$300,000+, depending on utilization and pricing strategy.

Even under conservative operation, profit margins remain excellent thanks to low fixed costs and consistent demand. Market Conditions: Florida’s Gulf Coast charter market is thriving. Fort Myers Beach continues to see year-round tourism growth, with travelers seeking private, over 6 person charters, over crowded by the seat tour boats.

Platforms like Viator and TripAdvisor drive reliable bookings, and Sun-N-Fun Charters is already a highly ranked operator. Large client list and repeat customer base. Most charters are booked through our own booking service direct from our website, and save you paying commission to outside companies.

Financial highlights include established revenue history and customer base built over seven years of operation. The seller cites retirement as the reason for sale and offers 2-3 weeks of comprehensive training to ensure smooth transition. Some seller financing may be available to qualified buyers.

This represents an ideal opportunity for an entrepreneur seeking entry into Florida's lucrative marine tourism sector with an established, profitable operation requiring minimal startup investment beyond purchase price.
