Remote One-Stop Seaplane Port | FGA-305

⇓ Download Teaser Profile

Located in a small town on a remote Alaskan island, this multifaceted business for sale is the focal point for the local community. Providing the only fuel station, convenience store, contract postal unit, seaplane landing, and more, this one-stop shop offers a small-town vibe amidst the rugged natural wonders of the Alaskan wilderness. 

The business is connected to public utilities with water, electricity, and internet. The region is remote and provides the main link to the mainland, with mail arriving two times a day, six days a week via float plane during the summer months and once or twice a week during winter due to inclement weather when snow, wind, and temperature are usually the factors. Float planes fly under VFR (Visual Flight Rules). The business provides unleaded and diesel fuel for seaplanes, local charter boats from the nearby lodges, forestry service vehicles, school district vehicles, and mini-cruise ships that tour the region. 

In addition to picking up their mail, locals and tourists visit the business’s cafe area for a latte, espresso, milkshake, breakfast burrito, or deli sandwich made fresh on-site. The convenience store stocks staples from household goods to rain gear and necessities that tourists may need while they are exploring the region. The area is a popular walking destination for seasonal mini-cruise ships, and walking tours go right by the front door. Forest Service cabins and DIY fishing lodges are also located throughout the community.

This business represents a lifestyle more than just a business. This is an opportunity for a new owner, or a couple, to become an integral part of the local community and enjoy a true small-town vibe while working hard in the heart of the Alaskan outdoors. Abundant wildlife shares this remote island with locals and seasonal tourists. The current owners relocated to the area when they bought the business, and they have a lodge they plan on making their focus. They will remain in the area to support the new owner as they adapt to becoming instantly famous as the new faces in town.

This is an established business. This is not a new franchise or start-up opportunity.
