I have a friend who is in the business of overseeing yacht rebuilds and retrofits and there seems to be a need for people who can understand and repair electrical, HVAC and plumbing systems. Corrosion control is another huge one — corrosion seems to be a major factor in the degradation and deterioration of any marine vessel. Also, inspections for safety, insurance claims and for certifying seaworthiness for people looking at buying a yacht (similar to home inspectors who work for realtors and mortgage companies.) However, all of these require quite a lot of tecnical training and tests for certification. So they may not be what you are looking for in the short run.

Since yachts have to be cleaned very often to make sure they are at tip top shape, maybe start a business that cleans the outsides and hulls of yachts. I wouldn’t want salt water eroding my yacht. You could also do Catering or Interior Design.

Insurance.
There is a well known saying:
The best way to make a small fortune in the marine industry is to start a business with a large fortune.

Commision sales! There is no investment needed except time.
