Business Overview
- Catamaran charter service business based in the stunning Bocas del Toro, catering primarily to high-end clients.
- We work exclusively with hotels, including one main luxury hotel, as well as 3–4 guesthouses/B&Bs, 2 yoga retreats, and 2–3 travel agencies and few individual international travelers.
- The business also serves repeat and individual clients, ensuring a diverse and loyal customer base.
- Notably, we are the only catamaran charter operator in the area focused on the luxury segment, occupying a unique niche, as most other operators cater to party- or club-oriented experiences.
- Operations run year-round, supported by local clientele, with peak seasons in January–February and September–November.
- The company is registered in Panama and holds all necessary business and charter licences, with the vessel fully licensed for charter operations.
- The business is managed by the two owners, who are the only permanent employees, supported by one experienced captain on an independent contract basis and two additional temporary helpers.
- Revenue is generated through charter bookings, providing a steady income stream while delivering premium on-water experiences.
Products & Services Overview
- The business’s top-selling services are luxury day charters and overnight catamaran experiences, primarily offered in Bocas del Toro.
- Day charters are most popular among high-end hotels, which book the catamaran exclusively for their guests seeking premium, private on-water experiences such as island hopping, snorkeling, and relaxation.
- In addition, international travelers and repeat clients frequently book both day and overnight charters, using the service for curated leisure trips, special occasions, and immersive stays at sea.
Assets Overview

The buyer is not required to continue with this arrangement and may relocate the vessel elsewhere to avoid the rent. However, if they wish to remain at the same location, they may do so by continuing to pay the same rental fee.
