Hello,
I have a novel seasonal business/side hustle that someone might be interested in. I have a great opportunity for someone who is naturally hospitable to represent the Casco Bay on bike as a provider of guided and self guided tours. It goes without saying - if you have experience as a bike mechanic, educator or in service industry, this may be for you. I can say that this was a difficult job at times and there was a big learning curve, but I feel very lucky that I got to do it here in this stunning and inspiring place. The foundations are now laid.
I have a Google business page, a website and a few different booking platforms (275 reviews) and five years of experience that I could transfer to someone for the calls that are coming in and will increase during the good weather this season; I also have a lot of well maintained bikes I can include; but definitely a plus if you have a pickup truck! I know this will be a totally different operation based on who runs it; but this is a list of what I was doing last year:
Portland city and Peaks island
Lighthouse and Peaks island
City, Lighthouse Peaks Island with one hour on the Bay (Foggs)
Self guided rentals
So if you want a fun way to meet people during the tourist season - a great way to interface with guests and locals at the Bay, enjoying all the fresh air, views and great beer the Calendar Islands have to offer you - contact me and we will discuss all the details! This can be a very lucrative and flexible business for the right person (or persons) and I would give everything I could to help you succeed.
Thanks so much - love for the Casco Bay
