Turn-key Boat Charter & Watersports For Sale

$250K - $500K (USD)
Cash Flow:
$100K - $250K (USD)

Turnkey business for sale. Fully established, since 2006, with a fully established online presence and stellar customer service reputation. Plenty of headroom room for growth. Our business license includes provisions for a broad range of additional activities. This type of license is no longer offered by the Sint Maarten government, so you're grandfathered in.

St Maarten Residency can be obtained as a registered company director. For US Citizens it's even easier due to the bilateral agreement between USA and NL.

Our current operations are limited to Fishing Charters but you have the option to do a whole lot more. We are one of the premier Fishing Charter operations in St Maarten, with the ONLY commercial boat that can comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests. We have also recently partnered with another fishing charter operator giving us access to the Cruise Ship market, and the opportunity for additional commission based sales.

We have established an impeccable reputation as evidenced by our many 5/5 star reviews on multiple social platforms such as TripAdvisor, Facebook, Google, FishingBooker, and more.

Our flagship vessel is a custom built Power Cat that can accommodate up to 12 guests plus 2 crew, although we currently limit it to 8 fishing guests. It’s not your typical Sports Fisherman boat but then who says you have to do things the traditional way? This boat was built locally and custom-built for local fishing conditions.

The boat is made for day charters, with all you need for a nice comfortable ride and a full day’s fishing without the complications of overnight accommodations and all the equipment and systems that come with it. Features include ample below-deck storage, a full head with a macerator pump and holding tank, a galley with fresh running water, storage cabins, a garbage bin, and more. The boat is currently rigged for fishing but could easily be re-tasked for snorkeling, scuba, or other duties.

We are selling because after 10 years+ of continuous operations, it’s time for us to move on to something new. Full business handover support is offered to new buyers (terms negotiable).

The business includes:

  • Custom built 38ft Power Catamaran, with a full array of SOLAS safety equipment
  • Full Business License, registered with the St Maarten Chamber of Commerce
  • Our business license has the scope to perform a broad range of activities, including general water sports, boat repairs, boat building, and a whole lot more.
  • This business license is no longer being issued and is very much sought after.
  • Professional Office Space and boat lift (both rented)
  • Full array of professional Fishing Gear and Tackle
  • Fully established Professional Website and Domain Name, with excellent SEO performance, US Trademarked Marketing Assets.
  • Impeccable reputation with review sites such as TripAdvisor, Facebook, Google, and Fishing Booker.

For more information, please get in touch with us. We are only too happy to answer your questions or concerns.
