Business Description
Highly profitable, low-owner-involvement pontoon/tritoon rental operation with prime marina positioning on Michigan's western lakeshore. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a mature, systems-driven seasonal business with minimal owner time commitment and a fleet in excellent condition.

Business Highlights:

Established operating history since 2017, currently operating under the 3rd Coast Rentals brand
Two premium marina leases with negotiated long-term commercial terms — a barrier to entry competitors can't easily replicate
On-site boat storage at a negotiated discount at one of the marinas
Excellent dealer relationship to ensure timely repairs
Fleet of 14 boats: 9 brand-new 2026 Godfrey Sweetwater Xperience tritoons (115HP, ~ under 100 hours average, excellent condition) plus 5 additional Godfrey Sweetwater tritoons/pontoons (2022–2024, 90–115HP, light seasonal use, well-documented maintenance history) — minimal near-term capital reinvestment required
Two boat trailers included
Recurring delivery revenue stream — established repeat customers generating $30,000-$40,000 annually, booked in advance, providing revenues before the season even starts
Outstanding reputation — over 100 strong Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars, built over the business's full operating history
Trained, in-place seasonal staff — turnkey team ready for next season with no little or hiring gap for a new owner
Minimal owner involvement — current ownership operates the business with day-to-day duties limited primarily to phone/booking oversight, scheduling, HR, and repair issues; ideal for an absentee or semi-passive owner
Two operating locations across West Michigan lake markets, providing geographic diversification within the same region
Well-established delivery business to vacation renters on lakes outside of marina operations

Serious inquiries only. Detailed financials, fleet documentation, and lease terms available upon signed NDA.

Condition Summary:
All vessels are well-maintained with low-to-moderate hours reflective of a seasonal, non-year-round operating calendar. Full maintenance and service records are available for review upon signed NDA. No major capital reinvestment in the fleet is anticipated in the near term given the recency of the majority of the fleet.
