Water business is a profitable event, if it is organized correctly. The fact is that the majority of the population is trying to go on vacation at sea. Naturally, in addition to swimming, people will want to have fun, so riding in water transport or any rides is very popular. Consider the features of the organization of such a business.
Business Organization Features
So, first you need to figure out what needs to be done to make it function. In addition, decide which services you will provide. For example, you can rent jet skis, catamarans or water scooters, organize a banana or boat ride, set up water slides or other attractions.
Naturally, at this stage, one should take into account how much the equipment itself will cost, its maintenance, security measures, repairs, rental of premises for storing facilities, a place of rest (sometimes residence) for staff. Naturally, you need to pay attention to unforeseen expenses and force majeure.
Water entertainment can bring not only joy, but also trauma, so to organize such a business you will need all the documents that permit you and declare such an activity. Of course, it is better to get all the papers in an honest way, because if you close your eyes to the spoiled attraction, the consequences can be disastrous.
What documents are necessary for registering a business?
First, we will deal with the official part. So, if you want to organize a business on water activities or attractions, then you need the following package of documents:
- Certificate of private entrepreneur.
- Certificate of payment of a single tax on imputed income. For a legal entity, the tax system can be simplified.
- An agreement on the transfer of property for rent.
- Hygienic certificates for attractions.
- Technical passports for all your equipment.
- A certificate confirming the registration of a business with the tax authorities.
Naturally, you will need to get permission from local authorities, the sanitary-epidemiological and fire services. At the location of your equipment should be issued consumer corner hang a first-aid kit and a fire extinguisher, and also draw a plan for the evacuation of vacationers or workers in the event of any disaster.
Do not forget about the safety of vacationers. All your jet skis, slides or other equipment must fully meet all technical requirements: not have parts that could be harmful, have seat belts. In addition, life jackets of different sizes must be present.
Where can I store equipment, what are the costs of the business?
A business on water attractions should also be built taking into account the fact that the equipment will need to be stored somewhere when not in use, as well as where the maximum number of vacationers is going on the coast.
Naturally, do not forget about competition. In order for storage of jet skis, scooters, catamarans or other objects not to be too expensive, you can negotiate with recreation centers, health centers, yacht clubs and other organizations.
If your business is very small, then a small pavilion or tent shelter will be enough for you. However, note that equipment must be protected. Such a room can cost about $ 600 per month.
During the period of active use of attractions, you need to remember about renting the land on which they will be standing, as well as organizing a fence that will ensure the safety of vacationers on the shore.
Now consider the additional costs of the business. So, you will need staff (instructor and locksmith). The salary of each employee in this case can reach 1000 dollars. If you will develop your business, then you will need a lawyer and accountant.
Consider also equipment maintenance (refueling, battery replacement, repair). In addition, for your business to work, people must learn about it. You can promote your entertainment on the sites of tourist centers, forums, or distribute flyers right on the beach.
Features of scooter and jet ski rental
Jet ski rental is probably the most popular entertainment for both adults and children. However, before using it, you should calculate the profitability of such a business. So, a jet ski (scooter) costs $ 400 or more. Such devices need a few pieces. Also consider the cost of the batteries on which the device is running. They will need about 15-20 pieces plus a charger. All this will cost about 350 dollars.
Please note that you will need to purchase a motorcycle fence (about 800 dollars), equipment for staff (up to 300 dollars). If you calculate all the waste by adding a rental space on the beach, employee salaries, unforeseen expenses for the repair and storage of devices, then jet ski rental will cost you 3-4 thousand dollars. As for income, the net profit for one season can be about 9000 dollars.
Naturally, this is taking into account the number of vacationers, weather conditions and other nuances. In addition, a jet ski should be managed by a person who has undergone special training and has permission to carry out such activities. Of course, earnings can be higher or lower, it all depends on how well you organize your business.
Using other water activities
Naturally, jet ski rental is not the only entertainment that can be found on the coast. If you are not yet able to purchase such equipment, then you can start providing simpler services.
For example, organize riding on balls, a banana, catamarans, motorized air mattresses, water slides. The advantage of such entertainment is that you do not have to buy expensive equipment (boat, jetski), it can be rented.
A popular type of recreation is parseiling - parachuting above the water (boat towing). As for slides or inflatable water parks, they can have different prices depending on the size and additional features. The cheapest complex can cost about $ 4,000. Interesting entertainment is a water ball. Its price starts at $ 500 apiece.
If you have your own water bike or scooter, then towing entertainment will cost you a little cheaper. However, remember that, despite the type of attraction, in any case, you will need the permission of the regulatory authorities.
Features of the choice of equipment
Before arranging a jet ski rental or other entertainment, you must correctly choose the equipment. The main criterion should be the complete safety of the units for both vacationers and the instructor. Each device must have a certificate of conformity and a document that indicates its hygienic and environmental friendliness.
As for the cost of a scooter, slide or other equipment, it all depends on your capabilities. However, do not give preference to too cheap models, since you will spend more money on their repair than on a purchase. In addition, such equipment should be purchased only at certified points of sale.
