Long-standing, full-service marine dealership, great SDE
Business Description
Well established, highly profitable
This long-established marine dealership and service business has built a strong reputation for technical expertise, product quality, and long-standing customer relationships. Founded in the late 1980s and still operated by its original ownership, the company has evolved from custom aluminum boat fabrication into a diversified marine retail and service platform serving both recreational and commercial customers.
The business operates as an authorized dealer and service provider for respected aluminum boat manufacturers and leading outboard engine brands. Revenue is generated through a balanced mix of:
- New and pre-owned boat sales
- Engine sales and repowers
- Authorized warranty and repair services
- Custom rigging and electronics installation
- Parts, accessories, and aftermarket upgrades
This integrated model allows the company to capture customer value beyond the initial sale while producing recurring service and parts revenue throughout the ownership lifecycle of each vessel.
Operations are based in a highly visible facility, featuring service bays, rigging and prep areas, parts and inventory storage, and outdoor yard capacity. While the core customer base is regional, the business regularly completes out-of-area transactions and has demonstrated the ability to generate national sales through inbound inquiries and online exposure, particularly for specialized aluminum and fishing-oriented boats.
The business is owner-operated, with leadership directly involved in pricing, vendor relationships, technical oversight, and key customer interactions. This hands-on approach has supported quality control and brand reputation but indicates the opportunity is best suited for:
-- Strategic buyers in the marine or outdoor recreation industry
-- Experienced owner-operators
-- Acquirers prepared to install professional management systems to support growth
The offering includes the operating business, with an optional opportunity to acquire the underlying real estate. This flexibility allows a buyer to tailor capital allocation and long-term strategy.
With an established operating platform, service-driven customer retention, national sales reach, and real estate optionality, this opportunity represents a compelling entry point into the marine industry.

About the Business
- Currently Relocatable
- Yes
- Facilities & Assets
- The facility layout and yard capacity provide flexibility to support higher service volume, expanded accessory sales, and selective growth in complementary services. Importantly, these opportunities allow revenue to scale while preserving the craftsmanship, customer trust, and reputation that define thre business.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Within the existing footprint, meaningful upside exists through improved operational leverage rather than a change in business model. The service department is the primary driver of repeat revenue and customer retention. Increased throughput can be achieved through more structured scheduling, workflow optimization, and expansion of high-margin services such as rigging, electronics installation, and trailer repair — initiatives requiring minimal capital investment.
