The Cardiff Cruises originally started out in 2008 as HMS69 Party Boats focusing on the stag/hen and birthday market. In 2015 the decision was made to concentrate efforts in Cardiff as opposed to trying to expand into a range of cities across the UK. The company decided to diversify its range of services for passengers in Cardiff and added a range of sightseeing tours to its offering and this change in direction is the reason for the business for sale.Having successfully carried out this rebrand and change of focus the company now consistently makes a turnover of £125,000, with a net profit of £30,000 and passenger numbers have increased to 13,000 which we consider to be very high considering the boat has a limited capacity of 50.  The main sources of marketing remain the website, with facebook, twitter and trip advisor also being used. The email database has over 10,000 email addresses and printed leaflets are distributed to outlets throughout South Wales in the run up to the beginning of the season and topped up throughout.  

The company also has a strong relationship with various third party companies who resell its services on a commission basis.business for sale woolacombeThe majority of employees are on freelance contracts, with one seasonal full time boatmaster and several freelance boatmasters used from time to time to help out over peak months and their details can be provided. business for sale bictonAt this moment all employees are looking forward to returning to the company as the season once again begins and are helping out at times throughout the winter.business for sale goulburnThe boat of course has the appropriate passenger certificates and relevant licenses to operate and a program of planned works for 2017 is in place to install seating on the roof increasing the capacity to 80+ passengers.  business for sale cda idaho

Because of this the value of the boat will hold provided it is maintained and also depending on your personal credit rating you should be able to lend upto 60% of its market value with a bank or asset finance provider (specialists in the passenger boat industry are Shawbrook, Lombard, Close Marine, Pro-marine and CGI Finance).  Raising the remaining balance usually comes from savings, remortgaging a home, personal loans and family and you can take assurance that from the day you acquire this business you will receive the transfer of advanced sales booked for 2017.Your Name (required) Your Email (required) Your Message Like Cardiff Cruises?
