WHITEFISH, MT / October 2, 2014 / When Blue Water Global Group, Inc. (OTCQB: BLUU) recently announced
that it had executed a definitive agreement to acquire a significant
equity position with Next Level Hockey LLC., it represented one of three
separate but coordinated strategies for building revenue. Each one is
designed to support the others, while maintaining independent
operational capabilities. It’s this multi-foundational approach that
provides a degree of market security and growth potential not usually
found in development level companies.

Building Shareholder Value By Taking Companies Public
Through a strategic alliance agreement with Taurus Financial
Partners, LLC, Blue Water Global Group has the exclusive right to
participate in early stage equity investments and future spin-off
transactions. Specifically, it allows Blue Water to obtain significant
blocks of stock as they go public. It is a unique opportunity based upon
the connections and qualifications of J. Scott Sitra, Blue Water’s
President and CEO, who also founded and heads Taurus Financial Partners.
His impressive experience in taking companies public, together with his
detailed knowledge of securities law, are attractive offerings in the
marketplace. By applying this extensive knowledge base, plus covering
procedural costs involved in taking a company public, Blue Water can
obtain blocks of stock from these companies in compensation. Such a
growing asset of stock holdings will later be sold to support Blue
Water’s other endeavors, potentially allowing the company to grow the
business while avoiding dilutive financing. Also, a percentage of the
stock will be distributed to BLUU investors as dividends, providing
shareholders with a nice bonus and mitigating some risk.
The recent agreement with Next Level Hockey gives Blue Water a net
15% equity interest when it goes public on the OTCBB, which should occur
in the summer of 2015. Blue Water is careful about evaluating potential
companies, and anticipates significant upside potential in Next Level
shares once listed. Next Level Hockey is growing rapidly in the sports
training industry, with two successful advanced hockey-training centers
and with plans to expand into new locations in the Northeast.
Blue Water earlier completed a similar transaction with Stream Flow
Media, a development stage business focused on creating online gaming
and media solutions catering specifically to customer loyalty and
retention applications, including corporate training solutions. Stream
Flow utilizes its proprietary technology to develop applications that
are designed for the client’s specific business requirements. The
proprietary aspects of the technology are owned exclusively by Stream
Flow and are licensed to its clients on a per-use basis. These
applications can be used on mobile devices, social media networks, and
web-based platforms. Stream Flow is also developing gaming applications
that will be marketed under its own brand.
Identifying And Filling A Critical Unmet Need In The Growing Caribbean Tourist Market
Assets from Blue Water’s equity investments are seen as providing
long-term support for another side of the company’s business, which
involves a large and growing market that has a major unfilled gap. The
estimate of tourist dollars flowing each year into the Caribbean runs
from the millions to the billions, much of it spent by North American
cruise passengers. With sun and surf splashed islands lined up like a
string of tropical pearls, the Caribbean is the perfect cruise venue,
and its popularity continues to surge. Major cruise line operators,
including Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL) and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings
Ltd. (NASDAQ: NCLH), profit from a number of key metrics in this space.
The magic of a Caribbean cruise is clearly not limited to the ship. It
is every bit as much about the ports of call, such as St. Maarten in the
Dutch West Indies. Visited by over 1½ million tourists annually, St.
Maarten has the Caribbean’s biggest cruise ship terminal as well as the
busiest airport, and that is just one of many growing ports.
At each port, the story is much the same. The tourists get off the
boat, they enjoy the beauty of the island, and they spend money. They
spend money on souvenirs, services and entertainment, side excursions,
and most importantly on food and restaurants. In spite of the reputation
of cruise ships as floating feedbags, cruise passengers can easily tire
of the same ship restaurants and the islands offer the possibility of
something different. Eating at a port of call is for many people a key
part of experiencing it.
Unfortunately, the local fare in many Caribbean ports tends to come
in only two varieties: high-priced gourmet style restaurants, and small
family-owned operations that often gouge the tourist and display
inconsistent quality. Research indicated that what is missing is a
restaurant that is clearly tied to the Caribbean while also being a
dependable brand for both new and returning tourists, offering
consistently high quality at a reasonable price. A popular Caribbean
associated brand could rapidly spread to all the ports served by the
cruise industry as tourists learn to identify it with the overall
Caribbean vacation experience. This is especially valuable given the
fact that many Caribbean tourists are now return visitors, both cruise
and non-cruise.
Targeting this major opportunity, Blue Water Global Group is
developing the Blue Water Bar & Grill™ restaurant brand, offering a
dining experience that uniquely captures the look and feel of the
Caribbean while offering consistent quality and affordable prices. The
company is already actively engaged in obtaining the necessary
government approvals to construct its initial Caribbean island
restaurant at St. Maarten, in the Dutch West Indies, one of the most
popular Caribbean destinations. Permits are expected by December 2014
with plans for the grand opening sometime in the first half of 2015. The
restaurant design will be based on an open-air environment, with a
large covered outside patio, a beautiful water view, a pool with a
swim-up bar, and even fire pits to complete the atmosphere. From St.
Maarten, the company plans to expand at the rate of approximately one
new location annually to Aruba, Barbados, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and
Nassau.

Branding As A Platform For Additional Products
One of the key advantages to brand building is its ability to be a
natural platform for launching new products. It’s an important way to
leverage initial investments, taking advantage of the name recognition
and customer base that is already there. In the case of Blue Water
Global Group, their developing Caribbean restaurant brand will be grown
in conjunction with the development of a line of premium rums through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Blue Water Beverage Brands, Ltd. According
to the company, these will be premium Caribbean rums, made of
organically grown Caribbean sugar cane, harvested at the peak of
freshness and carefully crafted by a master rum maker. The rums are
being produced in the Dominican Republic and will be sold initially at
Blue Water’s restaurants and other retail locations. By linking their
restaurant brand and rum brand, the two offerings will support each
other. The company expects tourists will learn to take the vacation
experience back with them by purchasing this homegrown Caribbean rum. It
will also tap into rum’s growing global popularity.
The strength of the spirits market, and premium rum in particular, is
shown in the recent acquisition of Beam, Inc., one of the world’s
leading premium spirits companies and makers of Calico Jack rum, by
Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd. (OTC: STBFY). In a recent interview,
Appleton Estates Master Blender Joy Spence reinforces the notion that
top shelf rum is the next big thing in the spirit world, showing
double-digit growth in 2013. Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum is owned by
Davide Campari-Milano S.p.A (OTC: DVDCF) and is distributed by Campari
America.
The first two Blue Water rums, Blue Water Ultra Premium Rum™ and
spiced Blue Water Caribbean Gold™ Premium Rum, have just recently gone
into production, and will be expanded in 2015 through distribution
channels into neighboring islands, such as the exclusive St. Barts,
French West Indies, and Anguilla, British West Indies. The company plans
to continue expanding these brands throughout the Caribbean Region and
to eventually export them into the United States as early as 2016. The
long-term potential is substantial, given the growing global market for
rum and the company’s consistent branding model. It also leaves the door
open for other new products.
Benefits Of A Multi-Pronged Approach
Blue Water Global Group has carefully structured these multiple
operations so that they provide support to one another as they develop.
It represents a remarkably integrated foundation for revenue building
into multiple growing markets. It’s an unusually well planned approach
for growth that offers both stability and flexibility.
