This is the flagship of the Big Island Divers offering, and the rarest piece of charter infrastructure on the Kona coast. This package conveys the established company holding the commercial use and mooring permits for slip 27 at Honokohau Small Boat Harbor — an assigned in-water berth of the kind that carries multi-year waitlists — together with M/V Honu Iki, a 2007 Newton 36 Dive Special carrying 26passengers (18 Scuba) and 2 crew. Permitted activities include scuba, snorkeling, manta viewing, whale watching, and sightseeing on the west side of Hawaiʻi Island.
The package also includes the Big Island Divers trade name and goodwill, a brand with more than four decades on the Kona coast, together with the company website and its established base of exceptional online reviews — the booking presence and reputation a new operation would spend years building. The dive compressor, rental gear, and operating equipment convey as well, ready to run a full dive program from day one.
M/V Honu Iki is a purpose-built dive boat from Newton Boats, the standard-bearer of American dive vessel builders. Full-length aluminum benches with individual tank racks port and starboard, flush walk-through decks with overhead handrails so divers move fully suited, a dedicated center camera table, an open transom stepping down to an integrated swim platform, a marine head in the forward cabin, and a flybridge helm with wraparound crew seating. And because she lives in the water at her own slip, the operation runs with no daily launch and recovery, faster trip turnarounds, and no trailer program — the vessel stays rigged, and the day starts at the dock.
For a buyer who wants to step into an operating identity rather than build one — the berth, the boat, the brand, and the gear in a single acquisition — this is the package.
Whether you’re looking to enter the Hawaiʻi dive market at the top, expand an existing operation, or secure the hardest-to-replicate berth in Kona, this offering delivers on location, assets, and opportunity.
Structured as a purchase of the permit-holding company, with vessel, equipment, trade name, and goodwill conveying.
