Yacht Rental
It’s probably going to cost quite an investment to start, but how does sailing all day while earning sound to you? A yacht ride is a great experience not most people can get on a regular basis. That’s why yacht rentals are popular in tourist areas. Since it’s not always available to them, people will opt for the experience once the opportunity presents itself. Of course, you have to be strategic on where you’re going to put up this type of business.
People won’t ride a yacht just anywhere, it won’t be a unique experience then. They would go for it if it’s in a popular tourist spot with plenty of view. One other thing that would encourage them is if you offer another unique experience, like maybe a romantic wine dinner, while they sail.
