Business Description
Note that I will sell the business without the boat. Price for just the business and its intellectual property is $25k. Own a top-rated Florida boat charter business — vessel, brand, reputation, and customer pipeline included.

Anna Maria Tours is a well-established, turnkey charter operation serving Anna Maria Island, one of Florida’s most desirable tourist destinations. With steady demand from both domestic and international travelers, this business combines a premium vessel, highly rated online presence, and streamlined operations to create a unique opportunity for a new owner.

The Vessel:
Included in the sale is a 2011 World Cat 290 DC Dual Console (29’ offshore power catamaran), renowned for its stability, comfort, and seaworthiness. The boat is powered by twin Yamaha 250 outboards with approximately 1,200 well-maintained hours. The owner has invested over $42,000 into refreshing vessel components, seating, lighting, and engines — with receipts available for review — ensuring the boat is tour-ready for years to come.

Amenities include a Bimini top, full bath/toilet with pump-out, live well, dive ladder, comfort seating, electronics, GPS, VHF, safety gear, and a mounted search light. This vessel is fully equipped to provide premium experiences for families, couples, and groups.

Business Assets:
The buyer will receive a complete business package:
• AnnaMariaTours.com domain and website
• Top-ranked Viator and TripAdvisor profiles with 5? reviews and strong booking visibility
• Customer database and online booking system
• All licenses, permits, and vendor relationships necessary to continue operations
• Complete branding and intellectual property
• Tour gear including life jackets, dock lines, fenders, coolers, and passenger amenities

Operations:
The business is currently run directly by the owner from a private dock, making it low overhead and highly flexible. No brick-and-mortar facility is required. The buyer may choose their own marina, slip, or rack storage arrangement to suit operations. Overhead expenses are minimal, consisting primarily of fuel, insurance (~$1,050/year), and routine maintenance. Fuel burn averages just ~$30 per tour, keeping margins exceptionally high.

Financial Potential:
Bookings average $400–$700 per trip. If operated full-time, the business can support 2–3 tours daily. This translates to annual revenue potential of $292,000–$766,000 with estimated cash flow (SDE) ranging from $125,000–$300,000+, depending on utilization and pricing strategy. Even under conservative operation, profit margins remain excellent thanks to low fixed costs and consistent demand.

Training & Transition:
The current owner is committed to ensuring a smooth handover and will provide hands-on training and support. Buyers will step into an already recognized and trusted brand with strong online positioning, rather than having to build a charter business from scratch.

Market Conditions:
Florida’s Gulf Coast charter market is thriving. Anna Maria Island continues to see year-round tourism growth, with travelers seeking private, small-group charters over crowded tours. Platforms like Viator and TripAdvisor drive reliable bookings, and Anna Maria Tours is already a highly ranked operator. Market conditions support continued profitability with ample room for expansion into fishing trips, eco tours, private events, or additional vessels.

Why Buy This Business:
• Established and profitable operation with premium vessel included
• Top-rated TripAdvisor & Viator presence ensures immediate bookings
• $42,000 recently invested into vessel refresh (with receipts available)
• Includes premium features such as search light, Bimini, live well, and full bath
• Low overhead with excellent margins
• Turnkey package — boat, brand, website, and customer base included
• Significant growth potential for a motivated owner

Reason for Sale: Owner is exiting the industry after building a proven and respected charter company.
