Description The Perfect Seasonal Business for Boat Loving Snowbirds!
Imagine a pristine lake on Central Vancouver Island where you have the exclusive right to rent out two 45 ft. completely refurbished houseboats. You do this for 3 day to 7 day periods throughout the summer months from May 1st to the last weekend of September.
Your customers are a relaxed group of locals and tourists seeking to get away and discover the serene waters of the enormous yet lightly populated oasis of Lake Cowichan.
At seasons' end, you slip away to a Southern location to relax for 6 long hot, glorious winter months. This idyllic lifestyle could be yours!
The business has been operating since 2000 and generates a respectable income for only 5 months of annual work. The equipment includes two 45' Transport Canada approved commercial houseboats that sleep 10, each with a waterslide, soft side hot tub, a full sized Bar B.Q., microwave oven, flat screen TV, 110V gas powered generator and more.
Also included is a recently refurbished 40 ft. office boat that could be converted and commissioned for lake or sea rentals, a diesel powered tow truck, a large custom boat haul trailer, a 16 ft. Campion bow-rider service boat w/115 hp. O/B, two dockside storage sheds full of cleaning equipment and spare parts, as well as an attractive Web Site and a laptop computer with related software, client lists and a boat training video, all for running this fun and simple operation.
For the last 3 years a local couple was hired to share the duties of receiving guests, training captains, and cleaning and re-fueling the boats, after each rental. Taking over these duties would increase the new owner's annual income.
There is room for expansion by developing more aggressive advertising and adding to the fleet. There are no other known 'exclusive' houseboat rental businesses for sale on Vancouver Island.
