So, If This Is Such A Great Opportunity, Why Hasn’t Anyone Already Done It?
One simple reason.
Because it’s really hard.
Delivery on land is easy
Your house doesn’t move
- The restaurant isn’t moving
The delivery driver does move, but they can’t drown
Delivery on water is challenging
Boats change locations after ordering
Many vendors are food trucks that move around
Sandbars & other hot spots shift daily
Delivery boats have to fight wind, waves & tides
There are NO addresses on the water
Weather changes quickly
All boats look alike, and cluster by 100s or 1000s
People jump off boats, leaving their phone behind
Everything is wet and constantly falling apart
So we decided, once and for all, to solve the hardest parts for everyone.
What’s in it for Marinas?
A Turnkey Platform: BoatBites’ Marinas include the proprietary apps, processes, documentation, and coaching to get your local operation up and running. Marinas will need to help contribute knowledge of local waterways, as well as the skills to build relationships with local drivers and food vendors. However, the BoatBites marina platform already solves the main logistical challenges, as well as an enormous head start on legal and regulatory compliance.
Asset Monetization: Business owners of businesses such as marinas or rental agencies already know the value of investing in certain assets that appreciate/depreciate over time. For Marinas who own or plan to own waterfront property, boats, or personal watercraft, BoatBites can provide the opportunity to realize additional return-on-capital in the form of cashflow. Offsetting ownership costs by expanding the scope of services offered can be an excellent way to turn your passion for boating into long-term financial gain.
Community Engagement: Just as boat ownership itself can lead to opportunities for socializing and networking with fellow enthusiasts, owning the local BoatBites Marina puts your business front and center within the local boating scene. In addition to providing economic opportunities to your local community, you will be enhancing the experience of countless outings and events throughout the year for local consumers, allowing you to connect with others who share your passion for boating.
- Rewarding Collaboration: Many Marinas are family run, and they always result in close collaboration. Working together within a sophisticated model like BoatBites gives you the chance to hire and mentor great people, including those in need of a first job. Just as a boat can be a significant investment for the whole family, owning a BoatBites Marina yields infinite opportunities to bond and make lasting memories together, all while promoting a more active, engaged lifestyle for everyone.
Tax benefits: If you’re a business owner, talk to your tax professional about how a owning a BoatBites Marina and related assets may create certain tax benefits such as additional deductible expenses related to boat financing, insurance, and maintenance.
