Tour and Event Operator: Strong Growth Trajectory
$10,555,000
Annual Revenue: $5,151,159 Net Cash Flow: $2,549,000

Operating for more than 14 years, this business has become one of Mexico’s most recognized luxury boat tour and event companies. Known for innovation, premium service, and consistent top rankings on global travel platforms, the company has built a powerful brand in one of the world’s fastest-growing tourism destinations. With strong cash flow, loyal repeat clients, and scalable assets, the business represents a rare opportunity to acquire a turn-key platform in the luxury tourism sector.

Services

The company offers award-winning yacht tours and all-inclusive private events. Flagship tours consistently rank #1 and #2 on TripAdvisor and Viator, each with over 95% “Recommended by Travelers” ratings and a long history of Travelers’ Choice Awards.

Services include luxury day cruises, weddings, birthdays, corporate events, and celebrations hosted either on the company’s premium yacht fleet (capacity up to 185 guests) or at its exclusive beach venue (capacity up to 250 guests). Customizable packages include gourmet dining, entertainment, and concierge coordination.

Clients

The client base is global, with tourists returning year after year and destination wedding groups driving high-value bookings. The company maintains an extensive database of over 77,000 subscribers, fueling repeat business and remarketing opportunities. Large private groups of 80–120 people contribute significantly to revenue.

Operations

The company operates with a highly efficient and fully integrated model. The business benefits from an experienced management team and staff, strong brand positioning, and proven systems that ensure consistent service delivery. The sale includes a fleet of 10 commercial vessels, a private beachfront event venue, and an affiliated transportation company with 6 vans, providing diversified, scalable assets and multiple revenue streams. Together, these operations support high capacity for both daily tours and large-scale private events, while maintaining the flexibility to expand offerings in response to market demand.

Reason for Sale

The owners are seeking a strategic buyer to capitalize on the company’s momentum and lead its next phase of growth. With a proven model, brand recognition, and premium assets, the business is positioned for immediate continuation and expansion under new ownership.

Event Rental Company: Full-Service
$1,400,000
Annual Revenue: $1,633,413 Net Cash Flow: $486,182

This is a rare chance to acquire a well-known, full-service event rental company that has been a go-to provider in the South Florida market for nearly four decades. The business has grown from a small local operation into a trusted partner for corporate events, municipalities, schools, festivals, hotels, planners, and high-end private functions, with many clients booking year after year.

The company offers a deep inventory of tents, structures, tables, seating, linens, décor, catering equipment, flooring, staging, and other event essentials. Because everything from warehousing to logistics is managed under one roof with an experienced team and a seasoned General Manager, the business can handle everything from intimate gatherings to large, complex events without needing the owners on-site for every job.

Financially, the company benefits from a strong gross margin profile, a high level of repeat business, and a steady stream of booked events. The current trailing twelve months through September show revenue of $1.63 million and SDE of $486,182, with no heavy dependence on a single customer or one-time project. The owners have kept the business debt-free and have reinvested in equipment, fleet, and systems over time to maintain service quality.

From an operational standpoint, this is a true platform acquisition. A capable General Manager runs day-to-day operations, supported by office staff, warehouse crew, drivers, and event teams. The next owner can step into a stable, well-organized operation with clear roles, proven processes, and a strong culture of getting events right the first time.

Growth opportunities are clear and actionable. The business has grown largely on the strength of its reputation, relationships, and word-of-mouth in the Tri-County area. There is meaningful upside in adding a focused sales effort, modern digital marketing, tighter outreach to planners and venues, and selective expansion into nearby markets and higher-value event segments. An acquirer with sales discipline, additional capital, or a complementary event business can unlock more value without needing to rebuild the core operation.

The owners are selling as part of a planned retirement and are committed to a smooth handover. They are open to a structured transition that helps the buyer retain key staff, protect customer relationships, and fully understand the company’s playbook.
