Would $400,000 US Net
(after taxes) Change Your Lifestyle?
It’s not Paradise, but
close to it! Tropical climate, blue skies, picturesque landscape,
many micro climatic zones within driving range, natural preserves
cloud forests, steppes, unspoiled beaches and mountains in three
awe-inspiring volcanoes in the centre of Central America just 2 hours from
southern United States border.
For the first time since
inception we can now offer to an intrepid entrepreneur in Costa Rica
the possibility of owning the crown jewel of tourism in one of the
world’s most popular tourist destinations.
The
longest running and most profitable
one-day tour in the country is now for sale.
Founded in 1975 and
continuously operated by the original owners, this incredibly
successful boat tour of the 23 islands in the Gulf of Nicoya has
become available for purchase for the first time. After more
than 30 years of daily operations, the owners have decided to retire
and are carefully searching for someone they can confidently count
on to continue the legacy.

An average of 1,500
passengers per month are generated through a well established
network of travel agents and a state-of-the-art on line reservations
system managed from a central office in San Jose. Passengers
are transported daily, directly from their hotels, to the Pacific
port city of Puntarenas by luxury motor coach and escorted by well
trained bilingual guides. The company’s headquarters in
Puntarenas are located in a turn of the century, fully restored
water front villa which includes a deep water dock, commercial
kitchen, public restrooms and owner’s residence. On site enclosed
parking is sufficient for tour buses and private vehicles. A coffee
shop and souvenir store are possibilities for passengers waiting to
board the custom designed 72' catamaran tied to the flower lined
dock.
Designed and built in 1994
by multihull architect Paul Lindenberg, the catamaran includes ideas
based on over 20 years of practical experience with a previous 50'
passenger boat. This modern vessel is licensed to carry 100
passengers in comfort and safety and is specially designed with a
bow ramp to land it’s passengers directly on the beach.
The destination is number
one in Costa Rica's guide books, a pristine blue water, white sand,
palm shaded tropical island 19 miles off shore. Here, the
highly trained crew prepare and serve a gourmet lunch surpassing in
quality and elegance that which many passengers have experienced in
the most sophisticated restaurants anywhere in their travels and
literally thousands of their testimonials attest to the superior
service, fine cuisine, spectacular scenery and seamless enjoyment
that this world famous tour has provided over the years.
With the highest
recommendations from every Costa Rica guide book and many
international publications (Forbes, Islands Magazine, Gourmet, just
to mention a few) this is a unique business opportunity for the
discerning few looking for a well run, highly polished, turn-key
enterprise that is making money in an expanding market.
Despite world wide
economic trends, tourism in Costa Rica continues to increase.
Its reputation for warm and friendly people, close proximity to the
United States and the internationally recognized ecological
awareness of her government will maintain the growth of tourism in
Costa Rica for many decades to come.
