if at that point after some research you think there is a viable business you need to talk to an attorney for basic advice - what permits/licenses you'll need IF you can find a dock that has some commercial zoning.

there is a ton of work to do in setting up a small business. i'm sure there are lots of good resources online with guides for people who want to.

You'd be trying to get a loan to finance the purchase of the watercraft or leasing?
