Catch the summer trade - Angling/Fishing vessel MV Viking business up for sale.

CITING health reasons, the owners of a Penzance charter fishing vessel, have put it up for sale and reduced the price of the business from £90,000 to £70,000.

Operating out of Penzance harbour, the MV Viking is popular with angling clubs from all over the UK and also, in high season, with visitors who are looking for a few hours fishing or who simply want to watch the seals. The business was established in 1967 and has been operated by the present owner, Keith Richards, since March 2006. Agents Beardsley Theobalds say the vessel has been sailed and maintained to a high standard by an employed professional skipper. "Buying the business now will enable the purchaser to 'catch' the summer trade," said a spokesman.

MV Viking is a custom-built Lockin 33 vessel.  It is licensed to operate up to 60 miles offshore and comes fully equipped right down to rods and lines for customers to use.  A quayside booking facility comes with the business together with advertising boards and leaflets and also a website.
