Luxury Yacht Charter Business for Sale – Hilton Head, South Carolina
Have you ever wanted to own a luxury yacht, but wondered how you would cover the
slip fees, fuel, captain, stews, maintenance, and all the costs that come with
it? This is a rare opportunity to own a stunning yacht and a turn-key charter
business that helps pay for it all — while still allowing you to enjoy it
yourself.
For the past four years, my family has enjoyed this yacht on trips to the
Bahamas, monthly outings in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami area, and most
recently a memorable trip up the East Coast to its new home in Hilton Head,
South Carolina.
Now located in an outstanding slip right on the boardwalk, the
yacht benefits from a prime marina setting surrounded by restaurants, foot
traffic, and full marina amenities.
The vessel, Salt Shaker, is an exceptional 70-foot Azimut that offers both
luxury and personality. She features 4 staterooms plus crew quarters,
comfortably sleeping 9 guests in the main accommodations plus 2 more in crew
quarters.
There are 4 full bathrooms with showers, including a private crew
shower area. The yacht also includes a full galley, spacious salon/living room,
a large flybridge entertainment area, and a sound system that rivals a concert
venue. The yacht is also equipped with full Wi-Fi and multiple TVs located in
the cabins, salon/living room, and outdoor cockpit area, giving guests all the
comfort and entertainment of home while out on the water.
At night, Salt Shaker
truly stands out with lighted signage, illuminated margarita glasses, and
underwater lights that glow beautifully in the water.
This sale includes not just the yacht, but the entire operating business. The
LLC is based in Texas and fully permitted to operate in the South Carolina
market.
We recently relocated the yacht from the Miami charter market to Hilton
Head and have already begun building bookings in the area. The business has
agreements in place with the marina to help generate charter sales, along with
multiple third-party relationships that also drive bookings. Revenue potential
in this market is projected to exceed $250,000 per year.
This is a genuine turn-key operation that includes the yacht, the business, and
the website. Also included in the sale is everything related to the company name
and brand, including the websites, domain names, shirts, hats, towels, and other
branded materials and merchandise associated with the business. This gives a new
owner not only the yacht and operations, but also the full branding package
needed to continue running and growing the company seamlessly from day one.
The company has shown year-over-year growth over its four years of operation.
The yacht has been maintained with an open checkbook, using business proceeds to
keep her in top condition. Recent upgrades and maintenance include new bottom
paint, Prop Speed, updated electronics, new carpet, new hardwood floors, and
much more.
She has had every maintenance item addressed as needed and is,
without question, one of the nicest Azimut 70s available anywhere.
The business is designed so that not only can it produce a profit, but it can
also significantly offset — and potentially cover — the costs of ownership,
including the yacht itself, the slip, and crew expenses, while still allowing
the owner to enjoy personal use of a luxury yacht.
At present, the seller speaks directly with prospective charter guests, although
the marina’s booking department is also willing to assist with handling incoming
inquiries and reservations.
Seller financing may be available for highly qualified buyers with a minimum
down payment of $600,000.
This is an incredible opportunity for someone who wants the prestige and
enjoyment of yacht ownership combined with the advantage of an established
income-producing charter business.
