Details
Eco Abrolhos Cruises represents a unique opportunity to acquire an established and highly regarded marine tourism operation in Western Australia, operating expedition style cruises to two of Australia's most iconic marine tourism regions - the Abrolhos Islands and the Kimberley coast.
The business is centred around the M. V. Eco Abrolhos, a purpose built 35 metre steel hulled catamaran designed for extended expedition cruising, passenger comfort, and operational flexibility. The vessel accommodates up to 32 passengers in ensuite cabins and is supported by extensive onboard facilities and custom built aluminium exploration tenders.
Eco Abrolhos Cruises delivers two flagship products - five day cruises to the Abrolhos Islands and thirteen night expeditions along the Kimberley coast. The operation stands apart through its unrivalled local knowledge, long standing operational history, and established partnerships throughout the Abrolhos Islands that enable a depth of access and experience no other operator is currently offering.
These relationships, combined with highly sought after licences, accreditations and a proven operating model, create an attractive market position with increasing profitability and near-capacity forward bookings.
The business has demonstrated strong recovery and growth post COVID, with improving profitability driven by increased direct bookings and refined digital marketing strategies.
The business has a strong brand presence, high percetnages of repeat bookings and consistently growing ticket sales, supported by experienced crew and well developed systems.
The vendors have undertaken comprehensive preparation of the business for sale, including comprehensive, independent business and vessel valuations. The asking price reflects fair market value based on current conditions, historical and forecast performance, ongoing capital investment, and the strength of the brand and goodwill.
The M. V. Eco Abrolhos alone forms a substantial component of the asset base included in the sale and the business presents an exceptional opportunity for investors or operators seeking a proven, defensible tourism asset with significant barriers to entry and long term growth potential.
At request, Swan Marine can provide a detailed Sales Package including full details of the business and associated vessels, assets, equipment, licences, accreditations, financial records and optional purchase and/or lease arrangements of a retail bookings office, wharf and warehouse facilities in Geraldton.
This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully established, turn key expedition cruise operation with clear points of difference and an unrivalled presence at the Abrolhos Islands.
