Kayak & Water Sports Rental

About the business

A seasonal water sports rental and guided excursion business operating along a well-trafficked stretch of the Algarve coast. The business offers kayak and paddleboard rentals alongside guided cave and coastal tours, which carry a higher margin and consistent demand from international visitors. Revenue is seasonal — May to October — but concentrated and predictable. Bookings come primarily through online platforms and direct repeat clients including local hotels that refer guests. The owner has run the business for over a decade and is ready to hand over to someone who can grow the off-season offering, which remains underdeveloped.

Highlights

• Established coastal operator with 13 years of trading history
• Guided tours generate higher margins than rental-only competitors
• Hotel referral partnerships provide a reliable B2B booking channel
• Strong online presence with consistent 4.8★ review rating
• Clear upside in extending the season or adding new activity formats
