Description
The company specializes in marine flooring, boat and automotive upholstery, detailing, fiberglass restoration, and related custom services. Flooring and upholstery represent the majority of revenue, with an average project size ranging from $1,500 to $4,500.
Known for its quality workmanship and follow-through, the business generates over 20 jobs per month through referrals, repeat customers, and established dealership partnerships. Operations are supported by a team of highly trained and experienced employees, with all work completed in-house and no subcontractors utilized. The business is currently operated on an owner-absentee basis, providing an excellent opportunity for either a hands-on owner looking to grow the company further or an investor seeking a well-established operation with existing infrastructure in place.
This business distinguishes itself from competitors through its established brick-and-mortar presence, structured operational foundation, highly skilled workforce, and strong commitment to customer satisfaction. Material costs average approximately 15% of each project, contributing to attractive gross margins. Unlike many businesses in the marine industry, operations remain steady throughout the year with minimal seasonal fluctuation.
The current owner is pursuing other business opportunities and is prepared to transition the business to a qualified buyer. This opportunity is ideal for an owner-operator, strategic buyer, or existing automotive/marine service company looking to expand service offerings and capitalize on an established customer base and strong market presence.
Key Investment Highlights:
• Established and highly regarded marine flooring and restoration business
• Strong reputation built on quality workmanship and customer follow-through
• Brick-and-mortar operation with experienced, highly trained employees
• Revenue driven primarily by repeat customers and referral business
• Existing dealership partnerships in place
• Healthy cash flow model with 50% customer deposits collected upfront
• Current workload booked approximately six weeks out
• Consistent year-round demand with limited seasonality
• Currently operated on an semi-absentee ownership basis
Opportunities for Growth:
• Improve lead follow-up systems and customer conversion processes
• Increase digital marketing and advertising efforts
• Expand beyond the current referral and word-of-mouth lead generation strategy
• Further develop dealership and strategic partnership relationships
With an established reputation, strong operational foundation, and consistent demand, this business is well-positioned for continued success under new ownership. The combination of repeat clientele, skilled employees, dealership relationships, and significant growth potential creates an attractive opportunity for a buyer looking to enter or expand within the marine services industry. The current owner is committed to supporting a smooth transition and helping position the next owner for long-term success.

Boat Tour Business - 5 Star
Call/Email
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly rated boat tour business with an exceptional online reputation, established booking systems, and substantial untapped demand. The business is currently owner-operated on a part-time basis, conducting approximately five tours per month. Due to the owner's limited availability, an estimated 70% of customer inquiries are turned away, creating a tremendous opportunity for a hands-on owner or existing marine operator to immediately increase revenue and profitability. Included in the sale is the company's established brand, website, online booking platform, operating procedures, and outstanding customer reviews across multiple platforms. The boat is also available for sale at a value of approx. $100,000. Business Highlights: • Professional website with online booking capabilities • 50 Google Reviews – 5-Star Rating • 17 GetMyBoat Reviews – 5-Star Rating • 11 BoatSetter Reviews – 5-Star Rating • 9 BoatBooker Reviews – 5-Star Rating • Established online presence and search visibility • Proven customer demand • Documented operating procedures • Simple business model with low employee requirements • Significant opportunity to expand tour frequency and operating hours The current owner operates the business primarily as a lifestyle venture and has intentionally limited capacity. A buyer willing to increase availability, add tours, expand marketing efforts, or introduce additional offerings could substantially grow revenue without significant additional infrastructure. This business is ideal for an entrepreneur seeking a lifestyle business on the water, a licensed captain looking to own their own operation, or an existing charter/tour company seeking a strategic acquisition with an established reputation and customer base. Opportunities with this level of customer satisfaction, online credibility, and growth potential rarely come to market. https://tworld.com/locations/Florida/tampa/listings/Boat-Tour-Business-5-Star

What makes this opportunity truly exceptional is its simplicity and scalability. The business currently operates only 2–3 days per week with virtually zero paid marketing. Nearly all growth has come from referrals, repeat customers, and organic demand, creating an exceptionally loyal customer base with a high percentage of recurring clients who return year after year. The operation is supported by two experienced employees already in place, allowing the business to be run absentee or semi-absentee with minimal owner involvement. It can also be operated from a home office, keeping overhead extremely low.

On a typical operating day of just about four hours, the owner can generate approximately $1,000 in revenue, making this an attractive lifestyle business with tremendous income potential.
