For Sale or Trade: Charter vessel and business for sale in Caribbean

[MAW]

I have been in the day charter business for 30 years. Simply put, I am tired and want to change careers. I have all the licenses and permits required, a great reputation, advertising and sales points in place, cruise ship contracts, a stong repeat clientel, website, video presentation etc. Included is a 78' gaff rigged ketch which is permitted to carry 60 passengers plus crew, 30' water taxi which is permitted to carry 44 pax and a 14' catalina crew tender. One of the major set backs of any deal is that my vessel is built in 1925 and although she was seaflexed 20 years ago she will soon need to be retired due to her aging condition or endure an extensive refit. So ideally, I am searching for someone who already owns a vessel suitable for day charter and is looking for somewhere to operate it with all licenses, permits, advertising and sales points in place and a future clientel already established. I am willing to discus a full sale, a lease with option or some type of a partnership as long as I am phased out as a working partner. A trade for property or other could be considered depending on value and location. I am available to guide the new operator for at least six months and I have a loyal crew should the the new operator choose to keep them on. One drawback is that the replacement vessel needs to be a monohull similar in size if the new operator should want to continue our cruise ship contracts. (No Catamarans) Please feel free to ask any further questions should you have any.
