Description
After nearly four decades in the dive industry, we are offering an opportunity to acquire Aquatic Safaris SCUBA Center, an established and profitable full-service dive operation located in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Aquatic Safaris has been serving the diving community since 1988 and has developed an established customer base, recognized name, multiple revenue streams, and the infrastructure necessary to operate a full-service dive center and offshore charter business.
For the right buyer, this is an opportunity to step into an existing operation rather than spend years building a dive business from the ground up.

North Carolina offers some of the most unique wreck diving on the East Coast, and Aquatic Safaris has spent decades developing the infrastructure to serve both local and visiting divers.
This opportunity may be particularly well suited for an existing dive shop owner looking to expand, an instructor or dive professional ready for ownership, a charter operator, or an entrepreneur who wants to combine a profitable business with the diving and boating lifestyle.
The transaction includes the operating business and associated assets, with the charter operation and vessels available for purchase as an optional component of the transaction, subject to final transaction terms.
The real estate from which the business operates is separately owned, providing flexibility to discuss an appropriate property arrangement with a qualified buyer.
