The Limón Marina and Cruise Terminal has officially taken a major step forward following the approval of new legislation that allows the project to move toward private investment and future development.
This landmark project is expected to transform Limón into a modern destination for cruise tourism, luxury yachts, hospitality, and international investment.
The proposed development will include:
According to the master plan, the project will cover approximately 27 hectares, including nearly 20 hectares dedicated to the marina and waterfront.
The marina is planned for the Hernán Garrón Salazar Terminal in the city of Limón, where the existing port area will be redeveloped into one of the Caribbean coast’s most important tourism and commercial destinations.
The project is expected to:
Unlike the Pacific coast, Costa Rica’s Caribbean region has never had a world-class marina, making this one of the most important tourism infrastructure projects in the region’s history.
Legislation approved in 2026 now allows JAPDEVA to establish public-private partnerships, attract private investment, and sign long-term development agreements.
This legal milestone moves the project significantly closer to financing, development, and construction.
A project of this scale could significantly increase demand for real estate throughout Costa Rica’s southern Caribbean.
Areas expected to benefit include:
The region is expected to experience higher tourism, stronger demand for vacation rentals, improved infrastructure, increased commercial activity, and growing international interest from investors.
Major infrastructure projects have historically driven long-term property appreciation, and the Limón Marina has the potential to become one of the biggest catalysts for growth on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.
