This franchise business, operating continuously since 2012, generates $295,000 in annual revenue with a strong foundation built on consistent cruise ship tourism.

The business specializes in shore-based salmon fishing excursions using spinning rods, eliminating the need for boats while providing guests with premium fishing experiences. Each tour includes all fishing equipment, tackle, gear, professional guides, transportation, rain gear, and an educational DIPAC salmon hatchery tour component.

Key Business Features:
• Prime location just 2 miles from cruise ship terminal

The operation benefits from Juneau's position as a major cruise destination, with the business strategically positioned to capture tourist traffic. The unique shore-based approach differentiates this operation from traditional boat-based charters, offering accessibility and safety advantages while maintaining authentic Alaska fishing experiences.

Owner reports significant expansion opportunities including additional shore fishing options and complementary tour offerings. The established infrastructure, cruise ship relationships, and proven operational model provide an excellent foundation for growth.

This represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a profitable, established tourism business in one of Alaska's premier destinations with built-in customer acquisition through cruise partnerships.
