Description

This listing offers a rare, turnkey hospitality enterprise centered around the highly recognizable Virginia Dare Cruises and Marina on Smith Mountain Lake, VA.

The operation is established, profitable (SDE $271k), and sits on owned real estate encompassing 1 acre and 600+ feet of shoreline.
