Oyster farm. 8 and a half. I should probably gatekeep this information, but you can lease an entire acre of ocean water in Florida for as little as $26 a year. What's my source on that? Well, I talked to the Florida aquaculture department, spoke with the lady who writes the leases, and she confirmed it for me. Now, obviously, you've gotta buy the equipment and your first harvest takes time. But once these things are moving along, the margins are pretty good. Marina. 7 and a half. You get the recurring slip rental income, fuel sales, and service revenue, but there's a couple major issues. You have constant maintenance on your docks and on your infrastructure. You're highly vulnerable to weather patterns and hurricanes. One of my first jobs growing up was working on a marina. I wish I could rate this thing higher. I just can't. Fishing charter. Six and a half. Margins are thin, and these are usually heavily tied to the owner. You can find a dozen of these online for sale right now. Almost none of them show the true profits of the business. I love deep sea fishing, but I think you're better off buying a different business and a boat just for pleasure.
