Reason for Sale
Owners are pursuing a change of professional direction and have decided to pass Sunlark on to a new owner. This is a lifestyle and timing decision, not a reflection of the business — the brand, audience and demand remain strong and growing. We're offering it as a complete, turnkey going concern with full handover, training and two experienced staff in place, so an incoming owner can step straight in and take it further than we can right now.
About the Business
Sunlark Watersports is an established stand-up paddleboard (SUP) tour and rental business operating on the beautiful Narrabeen Lagoon in Sydney's Northern Beaches.
The business offers guided lagoon tours, self-hire rentals, sunrise experiences and lessons across a focused summer season (approximately November–April), and is offered as a complete, turnkey going concern.
What makes this opportunity stand out is everything that comes with it: a recognised local brand, a yearly council operating permit (with an established, positive council relationship), two trained staff members, a full fleet of 16 complete SUP boards plus safety gear, and — most valuably — a large and growing digital audience. The brand reaches over a million people a year across social media on minimal ad spend, ranks strongly for branded searches, and holds a database of 2,000+ past and prospective customers.
Importantly, the audience and online demand have continued to **grow** even through a quieter recent season, showing how much headroom exists for an active, hands-on owner. Clear growth levers include restoring full-time management, converting the existing audience into direct bookings, extending hours and season, and adding group and corporate experiences.
Ideal for a lifestyle-business buyer, an existing tourism/watersports operator, or anyone wanting to step into a ready-made brand on one of Sydney's premier waterways.
Full financials, booking reports and marketing data are available to qualified buyers under a confidentiality agreement. A full Information Memorandum is available on request.
History
Sunlark Watersports launched in 2022 as a partnership, first operating from Bayview before relocating to Narrabeen Lagoon across 2023–2024 in Sydney's Northern Beaches. Over three summer seasons of SUP tours and rentals it built a recognised local brand, a yearly council permit, 2,000+ customers and a digital audience reaching over a million people a year — growing from one flagship tour into guided cruises, hire, sunrise sessions, lessons and private experiences.
