MARINE BUSINESS Marine Business

" REEF SPRINTER " - After 38 years in the marine tourism industry it's time to retire. This is a very rare opportunity to take over a very successful Great Barrier Reef snorkelling business in beautiful Port Douglas QLD.
All the hard work has been done, now it's time for a new owner to enjoy the rewards or take it to another level. It has taken the present owners many years to get this business where it is today. The business comes with impossible to get permits and the 3 boats are moored in the best possible location in the Port Douglas Marina, just metres from our custom built shop.
Just move into this great lifestyle business and start making some serious money.

MARINE PARK PERMITS AND MOORINGS - These are extremely valuable permits and moorings which are no longer available from the GBRMPA.
A combined permit includes permission for 2 glass bottom boats at Low Isle Reef moorings and 1 in the sensitive Low Island Lagoon location. The Low Isle Lagoon permit allows up to 20 passengers and 2 crew but we haven't utilised this due to the need to add more seats on Reef Sprinter 4 and change of survey requirements.
Plus an Outer Reef mooring at Tongue Reef GM0018 365 day GBRMPA permit.

OFFICE-Custom built office right next to the main entrance of the Crystalbrook Marina just metres from the boats fully stocked with everything needed to operate this business all complete with fully trained staff.
