Overview

F/V OLYMPIC54' STEEL MULTI-FISHERY COMMERCIAL PLATFORM -- SITKA, AK

TURN-KEY LONG LINE / TURN-KEY SEINE + LONG LINE

PRICING / PURCHASE STRUCTURE

OPTION 1 -- $500,000 | LONG LINE TURN-KEY

OPTION 2 -- $550,000 | SEINE + LONG LINE TURN-KEY (Seine permit not included)
Includes all longline gear plus full seine configuration and skiff.
No additional capital required to make first opening.

ENTRY ADVANTAGE (Q1 MATTERS)

Buying Olympic in Q1 means:

  • Fishing when 2C/3A halibut and black cod open

  • Cash flow from day one

  • No months of outfitting

  • No net purchases (if buying the $550K package)

  • No electronics upgrade cycle

  • No "surprise" generator replacement planning

  • You step aboard and fish

This is how operators get ahead: they start earning while other boats are still rigging.

INVESTMENT THESIS (REAL-WORLD, OPERATOR LOGIC)1) Immediate Revenue Capability

Acquiring before Q1 positions the buyer to participate immediately in:

  • Spring halibut openings

  • Southeast black cod season beginning March

  • Summer salmon seine openings

That's the difference between "owning a boat" and "running a business."

2) Diversified Income Model (Multi-Fishery Flexibility)

Olympic is designed around multiple earning lanes:

FisherySeasonal UseRevenue Range*Black Cod & HalibutMarch-December$100K - $250K+Salmon SeineSummer$250K - $500KCrab / Dive / TenderFlexibleSupplemental

*Historic owner performance; varies by quota, market, participation.

Diversification reduces single-fishery risk -- which matters to operators and lenders.

3) Efficiency Profile

  • Annual fuel costs historically under $36,000 (owner-reported)
    That's meaningful operating leverage for a 54' steel working platform.
