Apart from liveaboard vessels being sold in the market, we have seen liveaboard based businesses coming on the market for sale and thought it would be worthwhile that the forum understood the opportunities. For example we have one business now under contract with a negotiated exit strategy for the owner and the buyers with a passion for diving,having dive technical background and looking for a lifestyle investment.
As baby boomer owners start to consider retirement, the next generations have the ability to leverage off quality reputations and strengthening business financials if owning a dive liveaboard operation is an objective.
In the most part owners are keen to support their hard earned reputations and loyal followings with a period of transition to new owners which can ease the learning curve for the uninitiated buyers.
DBB can provide details of such businesses to pre-qualified buyers (includes confidentiality agreements). Fwd bookings are always impacted by knowledge of the potential sale of a business and we are careful with regards to client exposure. That said frankly any business can be for sale at the right price.
