An opportunity exists to join the franchise system of Water Taxis Combined.
An established water taxi / water limousine vessel and franchise is for sale by its current owner & operator. The current operator has been driving water taxis for Water Taxis Combined for almost 8 years.
The vessel was purpose built in 2005 to Water Taxis Combined’s exclusive design by Pro Marine in Victoria. It is powered by a 350KW Caterpillar diesel engine, which has been serviced every 150 hours – the same mechanic also performs services on the Caterpillar engines in our other vessels.
The water limousine has a capacity of 21 passengers and can be crewed by a single operator. Operators must hold Coxswain’s and MED3 qualifications.
It features a fully upholstered and carpeted interior, rear deck and lounge and all safety equipment. It is being sold as a turn-key operation – everything is ready to go. Vessel documentation, survey certificates, inspection reports and mechanical history can be supplied in full to prospective buyers.
All vessels operate within Water Taxis Combined’s flexible and equitable franchise system – all operators work an even number of shifts and are allocated a fair share of work.
Most water taxis on Sydney Harbour now follow the franchise system which Water Taxis Combined pioneered in the early 2000′s. This model ensures accountability, efficiency and low overheads for all involved. We have been running a successful franchise model for almost 10 years.
The Water Taxis Combined fleet incorporates a spread of different vessels which allows the strengths of different types of vessels to be taken advantage of, depending on consumer demands. We have zippy, fun yellow water taxis; large, luxurious VIP limousines, and a beach landing service. Our diverse service options ensure we are the market leader.
Water Taxis Combined has put in all of the hard work setting up a successful operation on Sydney Harbour – we have developed close ties with cruise boat operators, wedding venues, waterfront restaurants, film and TV companies and 5 Star waterside Hotels to ensure we have year-round work available for our franchisees – not just the summer-time rush of local tourists which other companies rely upon.
The franchise system takes care of everything for you – marketing, management, customer care and business development.
The asking price for the vessel and business, sold together, is $240,000. To enquire about this franchise opportunity contact John on 0419 488 200 or Adam Kasses on 0422 767 574 or email info@watertaxis.com.au
