Executive Summary:
The Maldives is a popular vacation spot for many well-to-do people all over the world. With its beautiful climate all year-round and expansive sandy beaches, either using uber boats in the Maldives for fishing and/or for travelers is a superb financial investment opportunity. There are two ways in which investment in uber boats in the Maldives can and would work. They are: recreation and through the fishing industry.
Profits Estimated
With the recreation industry, the boats can be used for tours, romantic trips at sea, private parties, to teach driving lessons and rentals for those people who are licensed to drive boats. With the recreation endeavors it is estimated that profit would be at approximately $250,000 USD per year. The tours and the parties would take up the largest portion of that income generated and that revenue generated. The average cost for one boat is approximately $4,300 USD. The profit margin coupled with the fishing aspects are encouraging towards an investment decision.
With the fishing industry, some concerns would be the weather if it is acclimate, however the maintenance of the boat would be minimal. To compete in the fishing industry in the Maldives we would be at a disadvantage being the newest collective to the competition, however in time profits would grow. It is expected that we should expect to see a profit with the fishing industry of $90,000 USD for those fishers who do not own their own boats.
Final Recommendation
My final recommendation would be that is a very good idea to invest in uber boats in the Maldives. These boats are enjoying exponential growth as stated in Forbes Magazine. These figures I have come up with are just the beginning of the revenue potential of this investment in uber boats in the Maldives.
