Turnkey Boat And Golf Cart Rental Business

Recreational Boat and Golf Cart Rental Business An incredible opportunity to own a highly profitable and enjoyable boat and golf cart rental business on beautiful Anna Maria Island - consistently recognized as one of the premier vacation destinations in the United States. This turnkey operation offers the ideal combination of lifestyle and income in one of Florida’s most desirable coastal markets. The business is professionally managed with an established operating structure already in place. A part-time administrative assistant handles customer calls, website inquiries, reservations, and customer service, while two experienced part-time subcontractors manage boat and golf cart deliveries, pickups, routine maintenance, and minor repairs as needed. The company’s online reservation and payment system provides a highly automated operation, allowing the business to function efficiently with minimal owner involvement. The current owners spend approximately five hours per week overseeing operations. Until 2024, the business was fully owner-operated, with the seller personally handling all boat and golf cart deliveries while his wife managed office operations, including reservations, customer service, and administrative responsibilities. In 2024, the owners successfully transitioned the business to a more scalable model by implementing systems and delegating daily responsibilities. Experienced subcontractors were brought in to manage all delivery and pickup operations, and the administrative assistant assumed responsibility for customer communications, reservations, website inquiries, and customer service. Following this transition, the seller returned to his career as a physical therapist, and his wife became a full-time stay-at-home mother caring for their newborn and two toddlers. While the change in ownership involvement demonstrates the business’s ability to operate successfully without daily owner participation, the transition period temporarily affected revenues and Seller Discretionary Earnings (SDE) as the new operating structure was implemented. The current team is fully capable of maintaining day-to-day operations, making this an excellent absentee or semi-absentee ownership opportunity. The business also offers significant potential for growth through increased marketing, expanded fleet utilization, additional rental offerings, and further development of the company’s strong online presence. The assets included in the sale consist of three pontoon boats with trailers, one electric golf cart, one gas golf cart, and a Ford 150 truck, with a total estimated value of approximately $99,500. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an enjoyable lifestyle business with an exceptional location, established systems, reliable personnel, and strong growth potential. Whether you are seeking a semi-absentee investment, a coastal lifestyle business, or an opportunity to expand an already successful operation, this Anna Maria Island business deserves serious consideration.
