This private island sits just 15 minutes by boat from Bocas Town and functions as a satellite of Isla Cristóbal. The sale includes both the 2,500 m² island and a 1.5‑hectare parcel on Isla Cristóbal located only 30 cayuko strokes away. Surrounded on three sides by coral reef, the property offers a quiet setting suited to retreat concepts, marine‑focused projects, or small‑scale hospitality development.
The Property
The private island is accessible through a deep‑water bay between its west shore and Isla Cristóbal. The 2,500 m² measurement reflects the hard ground area, which stretches approximately 222 meters in length. With its surrounding mangroves, the island appears larger and offers extensive coastline suitable for over‑the‑water cabanas. The side facing the Bay of Almirante is protected by mangroves and nearly one hectare of shallow reef. Existing features include the concrete remains of a cabana and composting lavatory, along with a clear access point for rebuilding a dock. Palm trees and noni grow on the land.
The Land and Water
The island is bordered by coral reef on three sides and includes mangrove areas that provide natural protection. The Cristóbal lot spans 1.5 hectares, is fully fenced, and includes two natural breaks in the mangroves suitable for access docks. A forest of Ajo trees occupies the lot, commonly used for traditional thatch roofing in the region. Together, the island and Cristóbal parcel offer control of a sheltered bay suitable for marine‑based activities.
Access and Utilities
Located just 15 minutes by boat from Bocas Town.

The Lifestyle
The combined properties support a range of uses, including coral restoration, education, or dive‑center operations. The private island could serve as a workshop or communal space, with potential for a second‑story classroom. The Cristóbal lot could accommodate a home and dock, with the bay used for equipment storage and controlled grows. The location is also suited to a small over‑the‑water resort or destination restaurant, with boardwalks through mangroves and cabanas positioned to capture northern breezes. The bay supports kayaking and paddleboarding, and Bocas Town remains visible and easily accessible for guest logistics.
