Vega Custom Research Vessel - Well established business!

INCREDIBLE RESEARCH VESSEL AND RARE OPPORTUNITY.

THIS BOAT AND BUSINESS GENERATES A HUGE INCOME!

***$350,000 PRICE REDUCTION***

U.S. Coast Guard-inspected and equipped 42' Vega research vessel and business are up for grabs.  This is an incredible opportunity and business is booming.  If it wasn't for increasing age, these gentleman would not let go of what they have established over the last 30 years.

This 42' Vega has been extremely well cared for with no expenses spared.  The current owners just spent $10,000 going through the engines and preventatively replacing parts, including rebuilt turbos and new alternators.  They are currently in the process of replacing all the hydraulic hoses as well.

"Early Bird II" has offered a variety of services over the years, including both vessel support, specialized skills and marine survey efforts in the way of: sediment collection (using a variety of different methods, e.g., vibrocore, gravity core, piston core, box core, van Veen grab), biological sample collection (e.g., bongo and plankton nets, otter trawl, lampara net, purse seine, gill net), ROV/submersibles, multibeam/side-scan/magnotometer/sub-bottom profilers, water quality sampling equipment (e.g., rosettes, CTDs, van dorn, niskin bottles), diving operations, and mooring/buoy deployment and maintenance. 

The current owners are willing to guide the new owner of the "Early Bird II" into the business by introduction to current and repeat clients.
