Boat Dealer Business For Sale
Nelson, New Zealand


Dellabarca Marine business Nelson private sale

Ride the wave - new and used boats

In New Zealand, boating is a national passion for young and old.

Each year, over 5,000 new recreational craft enter the boating scene and about half of these are trailed powerboats.

The entire Nelson region is a boating mecca. There are endless trailer-boat opportunities for fresh water enthusiasts from the calm waters of Lakes Rotoiti and Rotoroa to jet boating the Motueka and Wairau Rivers. Others head off-shore to explore Tasman Bay, Golden Bay and the Marlborough Sounds. Water for leisure is all around Nelson.


New boats, new motors and complete fit-ups

Dellabarca Marine is the largest boat dealership in Nelson, selling new and used boats to suit all boating requirements. This business was started by Mario Dellabarca in 2002 and has grown to now have over 500 database clients, including a number of commercial customers.

Dellabarca Marine is now looking for a new owner who can take over from Mario and grow the business in new directions. This successful boat dealership has:

  • An annual turnover exceeding $3 million.
  • Mainly new-boat sales and post-sales servicing.
  • Dual dealerships with BRP (Johnson, Evinrude) and Suzuki.
  • Dealerships with major boat manufacturers.
  • Agents for BRP products - Can-Am All Terrain Vehicles, Can-Am Spyder (http://spyder.brp.com/).
  • Agents for Surfango Jet-powered Kayaks and Sea-Doo Jet Skis.

  • Long lease and ideal location.

There is potential to grow the business in new directions:

  • include jet skis and quad bikes to the present sales portfolio and to expand the range of fishing equipment, clothing, chandlery, and safety gear.
  • include sail boats and hire boats - the current business deals only with trailed power-boats, and the occasional launch.
  • franchise the business - all manuals and systems have been already prepared along with documented business franchise options.

If you have an interest in boating and a strong entrepreneurial flair, consider what Dellabarca Marine can offer - this is a very profitable business with impeccable records and a clear direction into the future.
