Nootka Sound Shellfish Ltd currently operates three shellfish tenures in the Nootka Sound region. The company has been operating on the west coast of Vancouver Island for decades and is involved with the BC Shellfish Growers Association. These are all producing sites, focusing on clams and oysters, with product buyers in place. The seller is willing to assist a new owner with learning the farms and the basic workings of the business. This offering is a share sale for the purchase of Nootka Sound Shellfish Limited. The assets include the three shellfish tenures which are all in the Nootka Sound region, off the west coast of Vancouver Island. This is a well-known and productive ocean harvest region, with boat access from Gold River, Tahsis or Zeballos on Vancouver Island. Plumper and Kendrick are both beachfront tenures, while Hanna Creek is both a beachfront and a deep-water site. The offering also includes a skiff which is registered in the company’s name, used to carry product and equipment and to travel between sites. The government has recently introduced new rules and regulations regarding branding of equipment, traceability, etc for shellfish growers, and the seller has worked diligently to bring all three tenures and all equipment into compliance. A full equipment list is available. In addition, the company owns a 29 foot by 8 foot work skiff, powered by twin 50 horsepower Yamaha outboard motors. It cruises at 14 knots, maximum speed is 19 knots with a clean bottom. The skiff sides are triangulated, providing very strong construction and good suitability as an equipment and product transport. These three tenures have been well-managed for years, with an active and knowledgeable owner who is willing to provide assistance to a new owner. This is an excellent opportunity for someone wanting to work on the west coast, be their own boss and get involved in the aquaculture industry. (id:48970) Show More
