UNIQUE, PROFITABLE MANDURAH ECO BBQ BOAT BUSINESS
Iconic Mandurah eco BBQ boats offering self-drive electric boating experiences. A well-branded, seasonal marine tourism business with strong yield and lifestyle flexibility.
Located in Mandurah, Western Australia, Eco BBQ Boats operates a fleet of four self-drive electric BBQ boats within sheltered marina and canal waterways.

The business operates seasonally from September school holidays through April, aligning with peak weather and visitor demand.
Vessels are non-survey domestic commercial vessels, approximately 3.5 metres in length, battery-powered with electric outboards, and operated under established AMSA and Safety Management System frameworks, which will be shared with the buyer.
