Luxury Harbor Dinner Cruise & Private Event Business – 2 Vessels
Business Description
Rare Asset-Backed Harbor Cruise, Wedding & Private Event Operation
Rare opportunity to acquire a unique harbor cruise and private event business in Ventura County, California. The offering includes two well-kept vessels — a 112’ yacht and an 87’ paddle wheeler — supported by two 100’+ docks and an exclusive 15+ year lease. The vessels were recently appraised at approximately $7.2 million, providing strong asset backing relative to the asking price.
The business is positioned around memorable waterfront experiences, including weddings, private parties, corporate events, birthdays, holiday/public dinner cruises, and catered harbor cruises. Scarlett Belle is marketed as a paddlewheel riverboat/private event venue at Channel Islands Harbor, with capacity information showing events for up to 150 guests. Current public-facing materials promote all-inclusive event packages that include catering, bar service options, setup support, linens, tables, chairs, china, silverware, glassware, dance floor, and entertainment add-on opportunities such as DJ, photo booth, and casino-style event options.
This is a highly differentiated acquisition opportunity for a buyer seeking a coastal hospitality, tourism, marine-event, or experiential venue platform with substantial vessel assets, dock infrastructure, and long-term location control. Financials are currently not disclosed in the public ad and may be made available to qualified buyers with an NDA.
