THE PROPERTY
Coral Cay sits between a stunning coral reef and a lush mangrove shoreline. All structures are built over water, anchored with sturdy pilings in white sand. The boardwalks connect each area for seamless movement throughout the cay. The reef below is famous for snorkeling and easily accessible via steps from the restaurant platform. Additional pilings are already in place, offering expansion opportunities—particularly for a new phase of over-the-water bungalows.

THE BUSINESSES
This is not just a property—it’s an operating business hub with multiple revenue streams and massive untapped potential. Visitors range from locals and Panamanian vacationers to international adventure travelers. As one of the most frequented stops for the Bocas Botero’s boat tours, the main draw is the restaurant, offering direct access to the reef and an unforgettable over-the-water dining experience.

Beyond food and drinks, Coral Cay features a snorkel rental business, convenience store, and gas station for tour boats and watercraft. Overnight visitors stay in the charming cabins, soaking in the tranquil surroundings or using the cay as a base to explore nearby Zapatilla Islands. It’s a self-sufficient tourism engine in a location that already dominates search engine results for the region.

THE DREAM
The Iconic Coral Cay is perfect for over-the-water tourism. Take over a legacy destination deeply rooted in Bocas culture and tour circuits. Whether you expand the overwater bungalows, develop new eco-lodging concepts, or continue the existing businesses, this is your chance to own a cornerstone of the Caribbean experience. Coral Cay is more than a property—it’s a brand, a gateway, and a one-of-a-kind opportunity in Panama’s most dynamic archipelago.
