Project Summary
Summer Breeze Boat Rental, LLC is currently searching for an investment partner in order to expand its business model and add new revenue streams via the purchase of strategic commercial waterfront properties in St. Augustine Florida. Commercial water accessible locations in St. Augustine are difficult to come by and our company is currently impacted by the sale of the marina from which we operate and the construction project that is currently in progress. Having been established in 2019, Summer Breeze Boat Rental has been successful in becoming the area’s premier boat rental company, however our product and revenue growth has been hindered by limitations imposed by ownership of our current marina location. Beginning with revenue of $42K in 2019, we have grown that figure to over $350K in 2022 despite losing 4 months of the year due to marina construction. Future stability and growth for our company will hinge on our ability to secure a commercial location that provides the necessary infrastructure and ability to offer additional rental services free of restriction.
Our intimate knowledge of St. Augustine and water based commerce combined with our marina management experience over the past four years makes Summer Breeze uniquely qualified to pursue an opportunity to purchase and operate one or more of the local marinas. As part of our ongoing research, we have identified two marina locations that are currently receptive to the possibility of a sale but which are not currently on the market. This presents an excellent opportunity for Summer Breeze to partner with a like minded investor who would be interested in a long term investment opportunity that would be mutually beneficial to all parties.
In the sections that follow, I will expand on the revenue opportunities associated with these locations but suffice to say that these marinas are reputable local businesses with established and lucrative revenue streams. In terms of product expansion and revenue growth, seeking operational control of a suitable commercial waterfront property is the next step in the evolution of Summer Breeze Boat Rental and one that we look forward to with great anticipation. Having said that, it is our highest priority to find a reputable financial partner and one that will share our vision and desire for growth and excellence in the years to come. Although our ambitions extend well beyond the purchase and management of marina properties in St. Augustine, growth and expansion on any scale must be done responsibly. The investment opportunity represented by these locations given their size, location, existing infrastructure, services and established revenue streams is unmistakable and is considered very low risk as a real estate investment.
