Expansion opportunities are also available which include Monterey. Fully Absentee vs Owner-Operator Opportunity: The current owner acquired the business in 2017 as part of a larger corporate acquisition strategy and has operated the business on a Fully Absentee Basis since then. The owner believes that the business will be most successful, i.e., enjoy the highest production of Revenue and Cash Flow with a full-time working owner. Under the prior full-time working ownership as of 2017, the business produced: • Revenue: $595,496 weighted average 3 years (vs $316k currently) • Pre-Tax Cash Flow / SDE: $182,163 weighted average 3 years (vs $79k currently) This supports the notion that the business, in its current absentee structure, presents a great opportunity for an owner-operator to manage the business back to its pre-acquisition and historical operating results. Monterey Bay: The Monterey Bay is part of the Monterey Bay National Marine sanctuary; a Federally protected marine area offshore of California's central coast. The steady and consistent winds, the special quality of open ocean sailing, the abundance and variety of sea life, and the diversions offered by the cities of Santa Cruz and Monterey make the Monterey Bay one of the most challenging and enjoyable sailing venues and tourist locations on the West Coast.
