Located in the heart of Puntarenas, this unique fully titled commercial waterfront property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a strategic maritime location with direct estuary access and private docking facilities.
Positioned on a corner lot facing the estuary, the property spans 1,292 m² (13,907 sq ft) and features existing infrastructure historically used as a marine fueling terminal operated by Esso, supplying gasoline and diesel to fishing vessels and private yachts. Its solid maritime infrastructure and central location create exceptional potential for investors seeking a nautical, tourism, or logistics-oriented project along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.
The property includes a high-strength concrete main dock, an additional secondary dock, and three above-ground diesel storage tanks. A two-story building previously used as administrative offices provides operational space, complemented by two bathrooms and a large storage warehouse suitable for motor oils, marine supplies, or logistics equipment. A concrete perimeter wall encloses the property for privacy and security, while the estuary frontage allows direct access for fishing and recreational vessels.
Thanks to its prime waterfront setting and existing infrastructure, the property offers a wide range of development possibilities. Potential uses include a boutique marina or yacht service center, a marine fueling station (subject to permits), a fishing fleet operations base, or a waterfront hospitality concept such as a restaurant, nautical club, or tour operator. It may also serve as warehouse and office facilities for maritime-related businesses.
Opportunities to acquire commercial waterfront property with private docking infrastructure in central Puntarenas are extremely rare, making this offering particularly attractive for investors seeking a strategic foothold in Costa Rica’s maritime and tourism sectors.
