BUSINESS FOR SALE | KATO III
ESTABLISHED CHARTER FISHING OPERATION | KIAMA, NSW
Dreaming of turning your passion for boating into a lifestyle and business? This is a rare opportunity to take over one of the South Coast's most recognised charter operations.
KATO III is a purpose-built Steber 41, originally built for the Sydney Aquarium before becoming a successful and well-known charter vessel operating from the iconic Kiama Harbour for over 20 years.
This isn't just a boat--it's a complete turnkey business with everything in place for the new owner to step aboard and start operating from day one.
The Complete Package Includes:
> Purpose-built Steber 41 in great condition
> Prime commercial mooring in beautiful Kiama Harbour (subject to approvals/transfers)
> Current forward bookings
> NSW Charter Fishing Licence
> All fishing equipment and operational gear
> Ute included
> Diesel refill tank
> Up-to-date surveys and certifications
> AMSA survey current, with the next inspection due December 2027
> Established reputation with over 20 years of successful operation
> Years of GPS marks to put you straight onto the fish
> 2003 Cummins engines
> "REPLACED" FUEL TANKS, WATER TANK & EXHUAST 2015
The current owner has maintained the vessel to a high standard and used her regularly, ensuring she's always ready for the next trip. Her practical layout makes her perfectly suited for offshore fishing charters, while also offering exciting opportunities for whale watching, bird watching, eco tours, harbour cruises, and more.
With only one other charter vessel currently operating in Kiama, there's enormous potential for growth. A fresh approach to social media and digital marketing, combined with Kiama's booming tourism industry, could take this already successful operation to the next level.
Even better, the current owner is happy to provide training and support to help the new operator transition confidently into the business.
While the owner would prefer to sell the complete turnkey operation, the vessel is also available for boat-only purchase if preferred.
Price to be negotiated.
Whether you're an experienced operator looking to expand or someone searching for the ultimate sea change and lifestyle business, opportunities like this rarely become available.
