Increasing Demand for Yacht Charters in Washington's San Juan Islands
Seasoned travelers are looking for new and unique travel opportunities in the Pacific Northwest. Private yacht charters are becoming increasingly popular in today’s luxury travel market. If you have ever watched “Below Deck Sailing Yacht”, then you get the idea of what this company offers-(just with better behaved guests). This is an opportunity to purchase an established luxury charter business that has earned a stellar reputation in the growing yacht tourism trade that could potentially be expanded to multiple vessels if desired.
This is a trademarked business with a professionally photographed and informative website, high-end color brochures and a large following of returning clients and word-of-mouth bookings. The company has earned five-star reviews on multiple platforms and continually books full seasons of weekly trips.
The two owner-crew works just 5 months a year aboard a beautiful sailing yacht, in arguably one of the most iconic locations in the Pacific Northwest. The rest of the year is yours to enjoy how you please with minimal effort required for the business. This dynamic sailing charter operation serves the quiet, crystal clear waters of the San Juan islands in Washington State and the Inside Passage of British Columbia. The sunny San Juan islands offer over 200 pristine forested islands to explore in quiet inland waters that are perfect for guests to relax and discover.
Longevity: The company has been operating for over 30 years, and is regarded as the top performing luxury sailboat charter in the islands. This sale includes a state-of-the-art modern 56-foot sailing yacht that offers an exquisite experience for up to six guests in private staterooms all with ensuite baths.
Currently each 6 day trip is owner operated by a licensed captain and a chef/crew who together oversee all vessel operations and tend to the clients. The captain and chef positions could easily be hired out if a buyer wasn’t interested or qualified to run the yacht.
The boat has a transferrable moorage lease at a marina with a normally 15 year waiting list so new ownership will be guaranteed a smooth transition.
The two owners easily complete all operational duties off season and run all cruises during the charter months from May to Mid October. The owners describe it as “the best job in the world in the most beautiful setting”.
Upon answering a few questions and signing an NDA, a confidential presentation with an overview of business operations, preliminary financials, and a list of assets will be shared. If more detail is needed a personal financial statement will be required. Full books, records, and detailed financials will be available to the buyer during the due diligence period, after there has been an accepted offer.
