This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of Missoula's established rafting outfitters. Founded in 2004, Zoo Town Surfers has built a strong reputation and loyal client base over two decades of operation. The company's base of operations, which overlooks the scenic Alberton Gorge, is available for purchase separately or may be leased as part of the transaction. Zoo Town Surfers operates whitewater and scenic rafting trips on premier rivers in Montana and Idaho: the Blackfoot, Clark Fork, and Lochsa Rivers. The company runs whitewater trips on the federally designated Wild and Scenic Lochsa River in Idaho during early spring, whitewater trips on the Alberton Gorge section of the Clark Fork River throughout the season, and scenic float trips on the Clark Fork and Blackfoot Rivers in Montana year-round. The sale includes all assets necessary to operate the business, including inventory to accommodate over 100 guests per trip—rafts, life jackets, wetsuits, booties, rafting equipment, transportation vehicles, a client list, and marketing materials. Missoula, Montana has become a destination in its own right. While it remains a popular hub for travelers visiting Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks, Missoula offers plenty of attractions to keep visitors engaged. The family-owned and operated Zoo Town Surfers is perfectly positioned to help guests discover if whitewater rafting is right for them. This is a unique opportunity to acquire an established rafting business at an attractive price. The seller recently reacquired the company and has limited time available to dedicate to operations moving forward. With the 2026 season approaching, a timely sale will allow a new owner to fully capitalize on the upcoming season. The business and real estate may be purchased together or as separate transactions. The seller is also open to a long-term lease arrangement for the property. There are no significant operational challenges associated with the current location. Before reaching out, please review the following key considerations: 1. Financial Qualifications: a. Do you have the capital necessary to purchase the business and set up a new location or purchase existing one? b. Do you have access to financing or SBA loan pre-qualification if needed? c. Are you prepared to cover working capital needs for the first season? 2. Location & Facilities: a. Do you have a new location in mind? b. Will you be making an offer on the existing location? 3. Operational Requirements: a. Do you have experience in the rafting/outdoor recreation industry, or do you have a plan to acquire the necessary expertise? b. Are you prepared to manage seasonal staff and operations? c. Can you commit to being actively involved in daily operations, or do you have a management plan in place? 4. Timeline: a. Are you in a position to close the transaction in time for the 2026 season (ideally by Jan/Feb 2026)? b. Do you understand the seasonal nature of the business and cash flow timing?
