Bunbury Dive & Charter Business - Surveyed SeaQuest 33 + Going Concern
Currency
Vessel Location
Bunbury WA
Established Bunbury dive, private charter and marine tourism business offered for sale as a going concern, including highly versatile surveyed aluminium charter vessel, established brands, digital platforms, forward bookings and operating infrastructure.
WA Cruises Pty Ltd, trading as Bunbury Dive and Exclusive Cruises, is being offered for sale following approximately 4½ years under the founding ownership.
The business has deliberately been operated on a very part-time and seasonal basis by three owners with other full-time business and employment commitments. Operations have generally been limited to selected weekends and approximately five months of the year.
For an owner/operator with the time and appetite to increase utilisation, this leaves considerable scope to expand dive charters, private functions, weekday work, marine tourism activities and selected commercial marine work.
At the centre of the business is a WA-built, Gavin Mair-designed SeaQuest 33 aluminium commercial charter vessel. At approximately 10.3m long with a 3.3m beam, the vessel offers an unusually large and versatile working deck for its size and can be quickly converted between dive-charter and private-function configurations.
Current survey certification provides for:
1C - 14 passengers plus 2 crew
1E - 18 passengers plus 2 crew
3C - 2 crew
The vessel has recently successfully completed its 5-year and 10-year out-of-water survey requirements, providing an incoming operator with an important survey milestone already behind them.
Powered by an economical and ideally suited Volvo Penta D6-310 diesel, the vessel has received substantial investment in major systems and component renewals during the current ownership period.
Significant works include a major transom renewal, replacement Volvo Penta electronic control units, steering and trim hydraulic cylinders, charging system upgrades, cooling-system works and a rebuilt/replaced anchor winch system.
Most significantly, a low-hour 2020-model Volvo Penta DPH-D1 final drive, with approximately 200 hours of use, was professionally installed in 2026. A replacement G2 propeller set, PropSpeed treatment, Volvo Penta mixer, software updates and associated works have also recently been completed.
Detailed maintenance records and supporting invoices are available to genuine purchasers.
The vessel is extremely stable and practical for dive operations, with twin aft boarding gates and ladders, substantial open deck space, useful and accessible roof access, integrated hull sponsons, approximately 1,000 litres of fuel capacity, freshwater storage, toilet/black-water facilities, BBQ/kitchen area and a flexible layout.
The going-concern sale is intended to include much more than the vessel.
Included are the established Bunbury Dive and Exclusive Cruises trading brands, the substantial ExclusiveCruises. Com. Au website and its existing SEO footprint, BunburyDive. Com. Au, associated domains and business email addresses, and an established Rezdy online booking platform with configured products, booking history and forward bookings.
The business also has an established digital audience, including the Bunbury Dive and Cruises Facebook presence with more than 800 followers, and administrative control of the Bunbury Dive Community Facebook group with more than 1,400 members, subject to applicable platform transfer requirements.
The established Bunbury Exclusive Cruises Google Business Profile currently carries a 4.8-star rating from 22 reviews, reflecting the reputation the business has built for professional operation, integrity and a strong safety-first approach.
The business enjoys repeat bookings from dive businesses, clubs, instructors, divemasters, organised groups and independent divers from Perth, the South West and beyond, together with repeat private-charter business.
Bunbury Dive and Exclusive Cruises currently occupies a relatively unique position in the Bunbury marine tourism market. Through Bunbury Dive, the business is the only operator regularly offering dive charters to the Lena Wreck and a number of other local dive sites, and is one of only two operators regularly providing private charters in Bunbury waters. This limited local competition, combined with established repeat business from Perth and South West dive groups, provides a strong platform for an incoming operator looking to increase utilisation and expand the business.
Also included are:
10 × 12.2L Faber steel dive cylinders
20-foot storage container located close to the service jetty
Stand-up paddle boards and associated charter equipment
Safety and operational equipment
Safety Management System and Stability Booklet
Current Certificate of Survey and supporting vessel documentation
Business photography, digital content and operating systems
Agreed handover assistance from the existing owners
A 10-metre marina pen at Casuarina Boat Harbour may also be available for transfer, subject to Department of Transport approval.
The timing of the opportunity is significant. Bunbury's Casuarina Boat Harbour and waterfront are undergoing substantial State Government investment, with new breakwater infrastructure already completed and further marina, commercial marine and public facilities underway. The next funded phase includes 54 additional floating pens and further activation of the precinct as a marine, recreation and tourism destination.
This creates an opportunity for an established marine operator, dive business, tourism operator or hands-on owner to acquire an operating platform in Bunbury without starting from scratch.
The present turnover should be considered in the context of the business having been intentionally operated at very limited capacity. There is substantial unused vessel availability across weekdays, weekends and much of the year.
The advertised price reflects the complete going-concern package, including the vessel, business assets, brands, digital platforms, forward bookings and goodwill, subject to final inclusions and sale structure.
Further financial information, vessel documentation, maintenance and upgrade history, survey information and detailed inclusions are available to genuine interested parties.
Inspection and confidential discussions welcome.
