Description
The business boasts significant name recognition, a loyal repeat clientele, a robust online presence, and established relationships with highly experienced local captains and mates. Notably, the current owner-operator is retiring, and the presented financials already account for the cost of a replacement captain, making this an attractive proposition even for non-operating buyers. This opportunity is also particularly compelling for licensed captains aspiring to independent ownership. A suitable transition period will be provided to ensure a seamless handover to the new owner.
This authentic Key West charter business possesses a rich history and strong local recognition. It represents an ideal investment for a discerning buyer looking to harmonize a rewarding livelihood with the distinctive Key West lifestyle, celebrated worldwide for its pristine waters, breathtaking sunsets, and deep-rooted fishing traditions.

€1M+ Mediterranean Sailing Platform – Owned Fleet, U.S. Clients
€ 1,300,000
This Mediterranean-based sailing holiday platform (currently operates within Croatia, Italy, Turkey, Thailand, and the Caribbean) is a profitable, asset-backed operator running multiple complementary brands across mainstream, wellness, and LGBTQ+ sailing segments. Generating over €1M in annual revenue, about €225k in maintainable SDE, the business benefits from diversified demand and resilient forward bookings. Approximately 80% of customers are sourced from the U.S., providing access to a high-value, travel-driven demographic. The company has built a defensible digital moat over more than a decade, with the majority of bookings driven by organic traffic, repeat customers, and referrals, resulting in low acquisition costs and stable margins. Customer economics are strong, with about a €3,200 to €3,600 average spend and about 30% repeat bookings, well above industry norms. Operations are turnkey and largely independent of the owner, who works approximately 25 hours per week and manages the business remotely. The company owns two modern sailing yachts (included), providing operational control, margin stability, and asset-backed downside protection. With clear growth opportunities across geographic expansion, fleet scaling, and premium themed sailing itineraries, this represents a scalable Mediterranean sailing platform with strong fundamentals, international demand, and significant upside. This is NOT an American company; all prospects must include proof of available funds. All financial figures are in euros. https://tworld.com/locations/Lefkosia/fortlauderdale/listings/€1M-Mediterranean-Sailing-Platform-–-Owned-Fleet-U-S-Clients

Marine Specialialty Company
$ 8,500,000
Overview - This Southeast-US-based specialty marine services and equipment rental company provides engineered access, containment, and environmental protection systems that support yacht refit, maintenance, and transport projects across the East Coast. The company's solutions enhance safety, efficiency, and compliance for high-value marine environments. The transaction includes $4M in high-quality equipment assets. Strategic Consolidation & Stabilization - Following the hiring of a fractional CFO, the company conducted a comprehensive financial and operational review that identified several service lines and out-of-state locations operating at lower margins and higher cost structures; as a result, the company strategically exited underperforming markets and consolidated its footprint to focus on its core Florida operations, which have demonstrated consistent performance and sustainable profitability. Established Market Presence - With more than two decades of operating history, the company has built strong relationships with leading shipyards, contractors, and service providers throughout the region. It is widely recognized as a trusted partner for complex, large-vessel projects requiring precision, reliability, and environmental compliance. Management team in place to continue smooth operations post-transition. Differentiated Capabilities - Proprietary marine-grade equipment, disciplined safety and credit practices, and design expertise focused on coating and repair operations result in cleaner installations and faster project turnaround. The firm’s ability to mobilize quickly for on-water projects provides a key advantage over traditional construction-based providers. Environmental Commitment - The company employs recyclable materials and fully contained systems that meet environmental and safety standards for coating, blasting, and refit operations. These sustainable practices align with Clean Marina principles and help clients achieve regulatory and ESG compliance goals. Market Outlook - Operating within the nation’s largest coastal marine market, the company benefits from steady demand for vessel maintenance, stricter environmental regulation, and continued industry fragmentation. Market research indicates sustained growth in specialty marine support services, creating a favorable landscape for expansion. Marine Market Expansion Opportunity - The Company’s established technical capabilities and operational infrastructure create a clear pathway for a non-marine services provider to strategically enter the marine service sector, leveraging existing customer relationships, skilled labor, and geographic footprint to capture incremental revenue in an adjacent, high-demand market. https://tworld.com/locations/Florida/fortlauderdale/listings/Marine-Specialialty-Company
