US Documented and has lifetime import into Tonga. Our unique situation is that you may buy her as is by herself for USD80K or you may buy her along with her Charter License, other assets, and Corporation in Tonga and move here with a place to live, a potential income, and the shares of the corporation get you your Business Visa for USD100K. We haven't operated the charter business so there is no history. We also have a Powered Kayak Tour business for sale, with marketing and a short history, and the two may be bundled together for USD135K. There is also a semi-submarine that can be sold in the package for tours or to convert into an accommodation business for a total of USD235K.
We have shifted our focus to the island resort we have built. We are very motivated to sell s/v Waking Dream!
