Unique selling points
The company operates a profitable water sports rental model in the Frisian lake district, with a clear focus on recurring recreational demand. The activities generate revenue through the rental of watercraft and related services, with a largely variable cost structure and a predictable seasonal pattern, resulting in stable operating cash flow.
Operations are focused on efficient fleet management, cost control, and high utilization rates during the boating season. Maintenance, check-out, and customer handling are standardized, making the organization scalable without a proportional increase in fixed costs. This creates room for EBITDA optimization through price differentiation, fleet expansion, and extending the season. The company offers clear value-creation opportunities for an acquiring party, including operational leverage, digitization of booking processes, and cross-selling within a broader recreational group.
