The boating lifestyle is one that’s often labelled ‘relaxing’, ‘peaceful’ and ‘for the elderly’. On the face of it that may be true, but there are plenty of opportunities to be had on rivers. During the summer months, it’s normal for people to head to the river for a picnic or a spot of relaxation, and there’s a great opportunity for a boat shop, a café, a restaurant or even an ice cream boat! It’s a completely unique so there’s the opportunity to create a strong brand, and though there are a few who are doing it, there’s plenty of room for others! You will have to invest in a boat, and kit it out with all of the modern conveniences that you require, but there are opportunities to be had if the weather is good. Set up your summer business on the river, you may be surprised at the opportunities.
