DESCRIPTION
Looking for a true sea change and a thriving, lifestyle-driven business? This could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
Berger Houseboat Holidays is a long-established and highly profitable operation based on the stunning Tweed River. The business owns 8 premium houseboats and manages another 7 well-maintained vessels, offering a full-service fleet that caters to a loyal and growing customer base. Also included are 3 BBQ boats and multiple tender boats.
Operating from a marina-based office, the business recently secured a 5-year lease that includes dedicated commercial berths for every houseboat - each equipped with shore power, water, and pump-out facilities. These berths are rare and highly sought after on the Tweed River, offering a valuable advantage.
