From one Californian to another congratulations on the successful career and low mortgage payments! :) As a market analyst, I would say that you have hit an untapped market and alot of potential. As you know with any tourism near the ocean/sea comes demand for chartering boats. Also increasing tourism is a priority in the gulf regions of UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain so if you can sell yourself their is alot of potential and a chance to dominate the market!
The only factor I would consider is being able to negotiate with Arabs. This is an acquired skill and one who understands american/european politics may find themselves in deep water whilst swimming in the gulf.
