Rare opportunity to acquire an established, award-winning boutique hospitality business built around two distinctive, boutique houseboats.

The acquisition includes both of our fully outfitted houseboats, their custom trailers, extensive operating & maintenance equipment, towing & wastewater-support equipment, replacement parts, household inventory, a polished travel brand, direct-booking website, professional photography & video portfolio, marketing materials, and operational workflows & seller transition support.

This is not simply the sale of two houseboats; the buyer will receive a thorough hand-off to ensure they are comfortable with the operation they are acquiring.

The business has historically operated seasonally, with an average occupancy rate of 63% to 81%. Its mobile model offers flexibility for a buyer to establish the operation at a suitable marina, resort, campground, waterfront lodging property, or other waterfront destination.

The opportunity may be particularly well suited to:
• A marina, campground, or resort seeking distinctive lodging inventory
• An outdoor-hospitality operator expanding into floating accommodations
• A waterfront property owner seeking a signature guest experience
• A lifestyle entrepreneur interested in an owner-operated seasonal business
• A strategic buyer who can place the boats within an existing hospitality operation

The business has earned state and national small-business recognition, sustainability certification, and design awards. It has also received editorial coverage in leading travel and lifestyle publications.

ASSETS INCLUDED
• Two fully operational and fully outfitted houseboats
• Two custom trailers & towing vehicles
• Holding tank servicing equipment (mobile honey wagon)
• Two aluminum guest canoes
• Moorings, boat stands, anchors
• Maintenance supplies, supplemental equipment, and replacement parts
• Household goods, kitchenware, linens, furnishings and interior decorations
• Website and domain names
• Logos, brand identity, marketing copy and original design assets
• Professional photography and video portfolio, subject to applicable usage rights
• Direct-booking infrastructure and reservation procedures/workflow
• Existing digital listings and transition assistance, where platform rules permit
• Newsletter system and transferable customer information, subject to privacy requirements
• Documented operating, maintenance and guest-service procedures
• Merchandise and remaining operating inventory
• Owner training and transition support

The seller-estimated value of the identified physical and digital asset package is approximately $236,000. A detailed inclusion schedule will be available during due diligence.

FACILITIES
The sale does not include real estate or permanent rights to the company’s current operating location. The houseboats and operating assets are relocatable. There is a permitting process underway at the businesses' current location; please indicate if you are interested in remaining in Lakeville, ME.
Boats are registered through 2026; trailer is registered through 2027.

GROWTH AND EXPANSION
Potential growth opportunities include:
• Placement within an existing resort, marina or campground
• Premium overnight accommodations
• Private cruises and day experiences
• Elopements, proposals and special photo sessions
• Creative stays and exclusive partnerships with tourism/lodging operators
• Non-profits, not-for-profits, environmental work

COMPETITION
The business occupies a distinctive niche between boutique lodging, outdoor hospitality, and marine recreation. Its two recognizable houseboats, established brand, professional content, documented guest experience, and operating systems would be difficult and time-consuming to reproduce from the ground up.

Extensive maintenance documentation and renovation photography will be included. Known maintenance items will be fully disclosed during the buyer’s inspection and due diligence period.
