AN ESTABLISHED ALASKA ADVENTURE BUSINESS IN THE HEART OF PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND

Alaska Sea Kayakers presents a rare opportunity to acquire an established adventure tourism business based in Whittier, Alaska, providing direct access to the spectacular waters, glaciers, fjords and wilderness of Prince William Sound.

Operating from multiple locations in Whittier Harbor, Alaska Sea Kayakers has developed a business centered around guided sea kayaking, day tours, multi day wilderness adventures, kayak rentals and paddling instruction.

This is an opportunity to acquire an existing Alaska tourism operation with an established name, operating infrastructure, specialized equipment and strategically located Whittier facilities rather than attempting to build a similar operation from the ground up.

ALASKA SEA KAYAKERS

The business serves Western Prince William Sound from its base in Whittier and offers experiences ranging from introductory paddling excursions to extended wilderness adventures.

Current business activities include:

• Guided sea kayaking tours
• Half day and full day excursions
• Multi day wilderness trips
• Kayak rentals
• Equipment rentals
• Sea kayaking instruction and classes
• Custom adventures
• Wilderness camping experiences
• Glacier viewing opportunities
• Boat assisted kayaking opportunities

The diversity of the operation allows the business to serve first time paddlers, experienced kayakers, independent travelers and visitors looking for professionally guided Alaska wilderness experiences.

PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND

The Whittier location provides exceptional access to Western Prince William Sound and an extraordinary marine environment of glaciers, protected waterways, rugged coastline, waterfalls, wildlife and remote wilderness.

Current Alaska Sea Kayakers adventures extend into destinations including Passage Canal, Blackstone Bay, Whale Bay and Nellie Juan.

From introductory excursions near Whittier to extended wilderness trips, the location allows the business to offer dramatically different experiences from the same operating base.

• 24 foot by 12 foot covered west deck
• 32 foot by 8 foot rear deck

The combination of building space, decks and direct intertidal access provides valuable infrastructure for launching, retrieving, staging and supporting kayak operations.

LOT 13 HARBOR VIEW

Lot 13 consists of an approximately 30 foot by 40 foot site and is represented as land leased from the City of Whittier.

Lots 11 and 13 together provide important operating space supporting the Alaska Sea Kayakers business.

The seller has indicated that the leases associated with Lots 11 and 13 are anticipated to be rewritten in connection with the City of Whittier's planned acquisition of the master lease from the Alaska Railroad Corporation. Final lease terms, assignments and transferability are subject to confirmation and buyer due diligence.

LOT 3 HARBOR TRIANGLE

Lot 3 Harbor Triangle consists of an approximately 30 foot by 50 foot site with a 20 foot by 16 foot two story buildingand an approximately 22 foot by 13 foot covered deck.

The lease is currently held through Flatwater PWS, LLC. The exact ownership interests, business assets, improvements and leasehold rights transferring with the sale will be established through the final purchase agreement and agreed asset inventory.

Together, the Harbor View and Harbor Triangle locations provide Alaska Sea Kayakers with an established operating footprint within Whittier Harbor.

ESTABLISHED BRAND AND OPERATING PLATFORM

The Alaska Sea Kayakers name and operating history represent an important component of this opportunity.

The business has an established website and online presence along with visibility through Alaska and Whittier tourism resources and customer review platforms.

MULTIPLE REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES

Alaska Sea Kayakers is more than a single tour operation. The established platform supports several complementary sources of revenue through guided excursions, extended wilderness trips, rentals, equipment, instruction and custom adventures.

The combination provides the next owner with an existing foundation that could be maintained in its current form or potentially expanded through additional tours, partnerships, packages, equipment, marketing and complementary Prince William Sound tourism activities.

WHITTIER ALASKA

Whittier is a natural gateway to Western Prince William Sound, placing the business within immediate reach of the marine environment that drives its adventure tourism operation.

The location provides the unusual combination of access to Alaska's road system and proximity to Anchorage while placing guests at the doorstep of true Prince William Sound wilderness.
