Schionning Waterline 1620 Waterline 1620
Profitable charter business in the south pacific running Humpback whaleswimming liveaboard charters. Proven track record for the past 16 years with forward bookings into 2027. Plenty of room to expand and could double turnover at the flick of a switch! Current owners ready to retire and are offering this very exclusive dream business for sale with or without vessel.
Vessel is simply an amazing compromise of speed and comfort with simplified systems leading to fast sailing speeds, strength, stability, super well balanced onboard comforts and low annual maintanance.

Remarks
Business is flourishing with plenty of room for expansion. Simple business with 3 crew and over 500k in forward bookings into 2027. Vessel was built to the highest of standard with over $800k spent on materials alone. She has a proven performance as a strong ocean going fast catamaran with many NZ- southpacific- NZ crossings. Unique design and vessel layout leads to low maintanance in comparison to other catamarans this size. TAX paid in south pacific nation of its workplace as well as tax paid in NZ. This is a rare chance to step into a dream business. Sale of business is with or without vessel however vessel is not for sale alone. Please do not enquire unless you are a geniune buyer.
