A rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, well-established marine business and the region’s longest-standing Yamaha Outboard Sales and Service Centre.

With decades of successful trading behind it, this established business offers an excellent platform for a new owner to step into a proven operation with a strong reputation and loyal customer base.

The business specialises in the sale of new and used boats, outboard motors and trailers, supported by a team of factory-trained technicians delivering trusted servicing, maintenance and technical support.

Its location is a major advantage. Situated directly opposite the Bay’s most popular public boat ramp and just 200 metres from the main marina, the business enjoys exceptional visibility and consistent, year-round demand from local boat owners, recreational users and visiting customers.

After decades of building the business, the current owner is retiring to spend more time on the water himself, creating an exciting opportunity for a new owner to take the reins and build on an established foundation.

A compelling opportunity for international buyers
Purchasing the business outright would qualify the successful buyer for New Zealand’s Business Investor Work Visa, providing a fast-track pathway to residence after 12 months. This makes the business particularly attractive to international buyers looking for the combination of an established, thriving business and an enviable coastal lifestyle.

Flexible transition and property opportunity:
The owner is open to negotiating the terms of sale, with the handover and training period flexible to suit the right buyer and ensure a smooth transition.

The purpose-built premises are currently leased to the business, however, there is also an opportunity to purchase the property alongside the business. Conditions of any property purchase are to be negotiated.

An established marine business, a prime coastal location and the opportunity to combine business ownership with a sought-after lifestyle - this is a rare opportunity for the right buyer.
