Adam,
You may wish to look into Ex-Navy Quarters Barges. A shallow draft will
vastly expand your universe of possible dock sites and enable reduced
ownership costs.
I own the Ex-Navy APL-54 and broker the YRST2, both 261' by 50'.
Would you like me to email you the spec sheets?
The APL-54 has 32,000sf under roof.
Such a venture might be economically viable if you structured the vessel
user relationships so that "passenger-for-hire" regulations are diligently
avoided. A bareboat charter operating company may allow greater regulatory
flexibility (less burden).
You may wish to analyze the venture as a bit of floating real estate.
Structure cost $/sf Rehab cost $/sf Land rent $/sf*20 Bottom
Maint $/sf*20
Old Vessel ?$50 ?$30 ?$10
?$10
Building ?$100 ?$20 ?
