Description

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a well-established yacht charter and sailing school located in the desirable Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor on the Central California Coast. Operating since 1979, the business offers comprehensive sailing instruction, skippered and bareboat charters, and corporate events. The current owner has operated the business on a fully absentee basis since 2017, but historical data shows significant potential for increased revenue and cash flow under full-time owner-operator management. The sale includes valuable rights to 11 commercial boat slips, providing a competitive advantage. The Monterey Bay offers a premier sailing venue with abundant marine life and attracts high-net-worth individuals and tourists, presenting further growth opportunities.
