Summer is vacation time. When choosing where to go, many opt for beautiful resorts near sea ​​coast. The presence of the sea becomes perhaps the main criterion for choosing a vacation spot. However, when visiting a resort, many people find it boring to just lie on the beach, sunbathe and enjoy the sea. Therefore, a mass has been invented for tourists now. entertainment on the water.

However, sometimes these resort entertainment are too dangerous, because their organizers correctly capture the human desire to tickle their nerves.

Such popular, but sometimes very dangerous, entertainment is becoming more and more. They are found in virtually every resort, presenting themselves to tourists in all their diversity.

One of the most common marine entertainment counts diving. This sport allows even an amateur to see the beauty sea ​​depths, enjoy them, look close to colorful sea fish, unusual corals and a variety of marine life. It would seem that the organizers should try to secure such a popular entertainment to the maximum, but accidents with divers, not only beginners, but also experienced ones, are not uncommon, but rather a normal occurrence.

Much of the reason diving hazards is that some novice divers are very casual about the process of preparing for a dive. Neglect safety measures, poorly perceive instructions. In order to avoid an accident, it is necessary to carefully instruct, and in addition, before diving into the sea, test the equipment in the pool. And of course, you can not make the first dive without the support of an experienced diver. If all these conditions are met, then no danger should be expected. Otherwise, you can get a whole bunch of trouble.

First, trauma. In particular, due to the difference in pressure in the external environment and in the human body, damage can be caused by sudden immersion. internal organs or barotrauma. In addition, there may be cuts, bruises, even burns received from touching some dangerous marine life.

Secondly, the unpleasant consequences of diving with improperly fulfilled conditions, one of which is diving after taking a certain amount of alcohol. Here the initial form of decompression sickness can develop.

Thirdly, gas poisoning due to the incorrect use of air cylinders.

Fourth, an inexperienced diver can stop keeping track of time and end up running out of oxygen, which can lead to suffocation. And as practice shows, beginners at such moments can be seized by a panic attack, which leads to disastrous results.

Fifth, the worst thing that can happen as a result of diving is drowning, which can happen due to any diver's omission, from not following the instructions to inexperience when diving.

However, if you follow all the precautions, then diving can be a great pastime during a sea holiday.

In addition to diving, tourists at the seaside resort provide a lot of options for extreme recreation. For the most part, this is riding on the sea waves on various vehicles.

The most popular of them are:

  • banana;
  • jet ski;
  • sea ​​parachutes;
  • water skiing;
  • surfing.

All these entertainments are common in almost all seaside resorts.

jet skis are rented on any beach, but instructions for proper use can not always be obtained. Sometimes owners of jet ski rentals are limited to handing out a life jacket and brief reference, where to click to control the jet ski. Naturally, if you do not take precautions, you can get bruises and more serious injuries, up to a concussion, especially if you could not keep your vehicle and hit the surface of the water at high speed.

banana ride, which has gained great popularity among vacationers at sea, also has its own dangers. Many vacationers were injured in the fall.

Widespread in seaside resorts parachute flight for a boat traveling on the sea. Of course, this type of extreme recreation attracts thrill-seekers. It would seem that nothing needs to be done here, just hang on a parachute and enjoy the views. However, this is where the trouble lies. possible risk. There is little you can do when dangerous situation. For example, there were cases when two boats came too close to each other and the cables that towed the paratroopers simply got mixed up, which led to falls and injuries.

Water skiing , one of the favorite types of extreme sports at sea, is also not the safest pastime. Water skiing also requires some physical preparation, because even just to stay on the cable behind the boat, you need to make an effort. Otherwise, you may get injured hands.

And finally surfing and its various types. This is one of the most popular entertainment at sea. Surfers ride light boards on sea ​​waves. Amateurs try to imitate different prima surf after them, but they forget that surfing, like any sport, requires good and proper preparation.

Thrill-seekers can choose from a variety of dangerous activities while relaxing at sea. However, do not forget about the risk associated with them, and observe safety precautions. First of all, listen to everything the instructor says, follow all his commands and realistically assess your strengths and skills. Then even dangerous entertainment will not be able to spoil your rest and cause injuries.

Water attractions are an integral part summer holiday on the sea. That is why such projects are so popular among businessmen, one way or another connected with the entertainment industry.

Brief business analysis:
Business setup costs:200 - 500 thousand rubles
Relevant for cities:on the sea coast
Situation in the industry:high competition
The complexity of organizing a business: 2/5
Payback: 1 season

If for most people summer is the time of holidays, then for entrepreneurs it is the “hottest” time to earn money. As you know, the salary of most of our compatriots leaves much to be desired, so that you can spend your vacation exactly the way you want for a monthly salary. So many save whole year, so that later, in 2-3 weeks, "lower" everything that "was acquired by overwork."

It is absurd, of course, but this has been repeated for several decades, and I think it will continue to happen for several more. As a rule, the favorite rest of Russians is by the sea, because most of country lies in temperate zone. And the main entertainment on vacation is water attractions on the beaches.

For some reason, most people have the opinion that starting your own own business only possible with a solid start-up capital. We fundamentally disagree with this. Most likely, having a solid start-up capital, you can start a "solid" business. And in order to earn a piece of "bread and butter", organize a small additional income, including opening any water attraction, eventually developing your business into a large-scale business - we believe that anyone can do it.

Take, for example, water attractions on the beach. Almost anyone can afford to buy a pair of zorbs or bananas (not those that are fruits, but water sleds), a trampoline, or something like that. Well, then - a matter of technology. Organize the expansion of the business, and so - little by little, you can build a large enterprise. Of course, everything looks so “smooth” only on paper (that is, on your computer monitor), in life you will have to work hard.

Beach attractions are an ideal option for additional or main income for those people who live by the sea. And since there are not so many seas in our country, this project is intended for a limited number of entrepreneurs who are lucky with their place of residence. As the practice of many entrepreneurs who tried to organize a similar business in other regions of Russia shows, the demand for water entertainment increases only on holidays and weekends. The rest of the time is silence.

Money for the project

At present (2016), banks are not very willing to lend to businesses - too high risks of collapse arise in connection with the announced in 2015 economic crisis, but if you still decide to try your luck in commercial structures, then you will find instructions on how to get a loan for a small business.

Although we would recommend turning to private investors - there the percentage of the probability of a positive resolution of the issue is higher. Read how to borrow money from individuals. For both, you will need to provide a carefully crafted business plan.

Of all the stages of a project, drawing up a business plan and obtaining loan funds is perhaps one of the most difficult parts to implement.

Water attractions and their varieties

Of the variety of entertainment offered by "beach" businessmen, the most popular can be distinguished:

  • zorbing;
  • waterslides;
  • pools;
  • bananas.

Note that almost every season there are new unusual entertainment, like inflatable surfing, kite surfing, etc., which surprise every inexperienced person. And we still have a lot of those in our country. But the “classics of the genre”, of course, are all the same trampolines and inflatable water slides that leave no one indifferent - neither children nor adults.

For this type of business, you do not need to invest in advertising, but all due to the fact that large bright structures themselves attract visitors. Investments in such attractions can be different. As we have already said, you can start small, spending 50-60 thousand on everything about everything. But if you want to immediately stand out among competitors and attract as many visitors as possible to your business, you will have to spend a slightly larger amount - from 150 to 400 thousand rubles.

The first in our list of attractions is zorbing, a zorb is a transparent ball consisting of two spheres, between which there is air. Such a water ball is designed for walking on water. The ball is tied with a rope to the shore, a person enters it and then rides in it on the water. Such a zorb can be purchased for 20-30 thousand rubles, which is not so expensive.

The payback of such an investment with good attendance will be 1-2 weeks, then you will already work for profit. I note that such entertainment as zorbing is not suitable for children, it is intended for teenagers and adults. The price tag for renting water balloons for the summer of 2016 is 150 - 250 rubles for 5-7 minutes of rental.

- perhaps one of the most favorite rides for children and adults. In the scorching heat, no one can resist the temptation to take a ride on such an excellent refreshing attraction. We have never seen these structures empty, children always frolic in them, and therefore there will be a constant stable income from such structures.

The cost of a set of water slides ranges from 20,000 to 150,000 rubles, the price depends on the size of the slide, the manufacturer, and the material from which they are made. If we analyze the statistics of several successfully operating beach attractions, we can conclude that water slides will pay for themselves within a month or two, and in some cases even faster.

The next attraction on our list is trampoline- Everyone's favorite trampolining. The price of a trampoline also depends on its size, manufacturer, and material, and is about 100,000-200,000 rubles. The price, of course, is not small, but you can at the end summer season rent it to any nearest Entertainment Center, where entertainment is offered all year round, this will bring you additional income out of season.

It is recommended to install inflatable trampolines near water slides, and do not forget that access to electricity is required to operate the compressors for pumping. You can also get water trampolines, which can be purchased for only 10,000 -15,000 rubles.


Beach attractions - as a business

Note that even though the competition in this area is quite high, you can safely install your attraction next to competitors. Firstly, one or even two attractions (if the beach is really crowded) are unlikely to be able to serve everyone, which some of the readers have probably repeatedly seen on the Black Sea coast.

Secondly, the usual word "impudence" in business is replaced by the concept of "assertiveness". If someone does not like that you put your attraction next to his, let him look for another place.

Official business registration

For your business to be official, you need to register an individual entrepreneur, find a place to organize attractions, and obtain permission for it from the authorities of your city (which in itself also involves certain financial investments) or from the owner of the beach, if it is private. Although the vast majority of beach owners themselves have long installed water attractions on their territory. After the place is found, and all the necessary permits are obtained, you can safely start organizing your business.

If everything is organized correctly, find perfect place, where you can install a water attraction, and where there will be no end to customers, then you can earn more than half a million rubles, and even more, in a season. Don't forget also about additional services that can take your business to another level:

  • opening of a volleyball court;
  • summer cafe (ice cream parlor);
  • banana ride;
  • tents selling children's souvenirs, toys, air mattresses.


The first warm days have already begun to please the Russians, which means that long-awaited vacation not far off anymore. The warm sea, sand and soft drinks beckon people, making them forget about work and everyday problems.

Someone chooses foreign resorts with a five-star hotel, others buy a train ticket to visit domestic beaches and sanatoriums. But both of them are united by the feeling of having a good rest, carelessly spending the money earned during the year. That is why the residents resort towns rub their palms with anticipation, because they will make good money on rental housing, trade and beach activities.

Business on the beach is considered the simplest and most profitable type of income in the resort; every year it brings its owners thousands of dollars in profit in just three to four months. The beach business is considered one of the most profitable and highly profitable.

Earnings on beach activities are seasonal, usually lasting from three to four months a year. But, despite such a short time, organized business on the beach can bring profit, which will make it possible to live carefree for the rest of the year or open a new business. In addition, these three-four months working days will be spent on the beach, near warm sea so it's hard to imagine a more pleasant working environment.

Where to begin?

First you need to decide on the type of beach business. Usually, all options for a successful business on the beach are divided into several types:

  • No major investment. A type of business that does not require a serious initial investment from the owner.
  • With significant investment. This category of business will require owners to invest in expensive equipment, repairs and improvements.

Experienced entrepreneurs say that it will take only five hundred to seven hundred dollars to open a small business on the beach. These funds can be found by anyone who wants to without much difficulty. For example, for the sale of seeds, dried fish, corn, “penny” will be required, and the profit will pay back all expenses tenfold.

In order to start offering your services and goods on the beach, it is not even necessary to register an individual entrepreneur or LLC, but if you are a law-abiding citizen, then you can go through this procedure.

Whether you need to rent a place on the beach or you will be a free wanderer with a bag of groceries on your shoulder depends on the type of business you choose.

Cons of the beach business

Opening a business on the beach is a very promising business path, but it also has its drawbacks.

  • Working on the beach is very exhausting. The whole day is under the scorching sun, not every person can, and it is unprofitable to trust a hired employee. Often, the staff hides part of the proceeds from the owner or even runs away with it.
  • SES employees will monitor your business very closely, waiting for the moment when you can be fined. As already mentioned, many beach businessmen work without a permit, because obtaining these documents carries a large cost.

Business types

Now let's give some beach business ideas that will bring long-awaited profit to the owner.

Providing comfort

The Russians are already accustomed to relaxing in comfort, no one goes to the beach with a towel on which he will sunbathe. Everyone wants to borrow a sun lounger and an umbrella for comfortable rest. Therefore, renting umbrellas and sun loungers is the most popular beach business. The cost of buying equipment pays off from the owners in the first days of the season, and then brings a stable profit until closing.

People are already used to paying for comfort, so renting sun loungers and umbrellas is a profitable business.

Dry closets, showers and changing cabins are the next point of a comfortable stay. People do not mind giving twenty to thirty rubles for the convenience that the owner of this type of business opens up for them. Indeed, for one person this is a trifle, but if you count the number of daily visitors, it turns out that this type of income is very promising.


Beach visitors are ready to pay even for comfortable changing of swimwear and swimming trunks.

attractions

The most popular beach business is the opening of attractions. Entertainment, both on land and on the water, is in constant demand among beach visitors. Of course, this type of business will require investments, but they will pay off their owner with interest.

The most popular attractions on the beach are:


All these types of attractions bring joy and fun to customers, which is the main objective of this business. The main expenses are the cost of buying equipment for attractions, renting and registering a business in all instances: SES, tax, state inspection for small boats. But all these little things will be justified by the profit received from the rental of attractions.


Renting three or four water scooters brings owners a decent daily income.

Remember: The Entrepreneur must be tested for knowledge of the rules for organizing recreation on the water in the shipping company.

The total investment of this type of business is three hundred to four hundred thousand rubles, depending on the quality of the purchased equipment. For example, a rubber water zorb costs twenty thousand rubles, in order to make a good profit, you need to purchase 4-5 balls. A ground trampoline, depending on its dimensions, costs from one hundred to two hundred thousand rubles, but costs can be reduced if you rent a trampoline. A water scooter costs from forty thousand rubles, for full-fledged work you will need to purchase 3-4 such scooters.


Roll down from water slide- great fun for both adults and children.

Rent for the occupied place will cost from 15 to 50 thousand rubles, depending on the size of the attraction. The salary of employees who instruct clients and collect money is 18-20 thousand rubles. But it is possible to save on this if the entrepreneur himself does this.

Sale of gifts and souvenirs

Any person who comes on vacation at sea will definitely buy a souvenir as a keepsake, as well as gifts for his family and friends. Especially popular are unique souvenirs that are hard to find in hometown. Often these souvenirs are figurines made of shells, bracelets made of sea ​​stones, talismans, wicker things.

In order to sell these products, you will need to find suppliers who are local craftsmen, as well as rent a place on the beach. The markup for such a product averages from one hundred to three hundred percent, so this type of business is considered very profitable.


Each person seeks to bring a memorable souvenir from the resort.

Sale of ice cream and draft kvass

Ice cream and kvass are the most popular products on the beach. The queues near the ice cream stalls and kvass stalls do not decrease from morning to evening. Therefore, this beach business option attracts many entrepreneurs.

Starting investments for opening a point for the sale of ice cream and kvass are approximately the same and amount to about one hundred thousand rubles. Usually points of sale do not take up much space on the beach, so the rent will not exceed thirty thousand per month.


Draft kvass and ice cream help to escape the heat, so selling this product on the beach is never a problem.

beach shop

A swimwear shop is another type of highly profitable beach business. Vacationers no doubt willing to spend money on purchases inflatable circles, balls, tanning creams and lotions, diving maxi, towels, swimwear, swimming trunks. Also, in addition to the sale, it is possible to rent equipment - surfs, balls, circles and even boats.

Every year, enterprising businessmen find new types of services to entertain vacationers, however, there is enough profit for everyone. Therefore, if you choose where to start your journey in business, then stop at the beach business. Because more than sixty percent of people doing business on the beach pay off their business and make a steady profit during the season.
