What drives the value of a boat repair and marine service company

• A technician bench of marine mechanics (outboard, inboard and diesel) plus fiberglass, rigging and electronics specialists who are likely to stay.
• Manufacturer authorizations and dealer service agreements, and whether they transfer.
• The waterfront or yard site, lift or haul-out capacity, and the lease or ownership behind it, which can be hard to replace.

What a buyer will look at

About Miami-Dade County

Miami-Dade is the most populous county in Florida, home to Miami, Hialeah, Doral, Homestead and dozens of other cities. It includes major industrial and logistics areas around Doral, Medley, Hialeah and the airport, a deep base of high-rise condos, and a large population of older homes and buildings.

Licensing, permits and the transition

Boat repair is not generally covered by a DBPR construction license, though some work can touch electrical, plumbing or air-conditioning licensing, and yards are subject to environmental rules for bottom paint, fuel, bilge water and waste. Marine technicians often hold manufacturer or industry certifications such as ABYC. Which rules apply depends on the services you offer.

Miami-Dade issues a county local business tax receipt through the Miami-Dade Tax Collector, and cities such as Miami, Hialeah and Doral require their own. Locally licensed trades go through the Miami-Dade County Construction Trades Qualifying Board, and the county's Product Control program issues the Notices of Acceptance (NOAs) used across the HVHZ.

Frequently asked questions

Do you buy boat repair and marine service companies in Miami-Dade County?

Yes. We buy established boat repair and marine service companies in Miami-Dade County and across Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. Reach out for a confidential conversation.

Does the waterfront site matter in a boat repair sale?

Often a great deal. Working waterfront and zoned yard space is limited in South Florida and the Keys, so the lease or ownership of the site can be a significant part of the value. We can buy the property with the business or lease it back to you.

What local licenses or receipts matter when selling a business in Miami-Dade County?

Miami-Dade issues a county local business tax receipt through the Miami-Dade Tax Collector, and cities such as Miami, Hialeah and Doral require their own. Locally licensed trades go through the Miami-Dade County Construction Trades Qualifying Board, and the county's Product Control program issues the Notices of Acceptance (NOAs) used across the HVHZ.

Will you keep my employees and company name?

Our goal is to keep the team and the name in place. They are a big part of what makes a local business valuable.

Can you buy my building or yard too?

Yes. We are backed by the Prop Hunters real estate team, so we can buy the property with the business or lease it from you.
