Sol e Mar IV is a rare opportunity for buyers in Costa Rica and across Latin America seeking a well-maintained, mechanically straightforward yacht with long-term ownership flexibility. This Sea Ray 510 Sundancer is one of the limited number built with traditional ZF V-Drive propulsion, a configuration widely favored in the region for its simplicity, durability, and ease of service, particularly when compared to pod-drive systems.
The vessel has been professionally maintained under full-time captain management, with consistent oversight and up-to-date service history. She has recently completed her annual maintenance cycle, including major mechanical servicing, and is turn-key and ready for immediate use.
Marina & Location Context
The yacht is currently berthed in one of Guanacaste’s most established marinas, a location known for high demand and very limited availability. While berth arrangements are always subject to marina policies and independent approval, details regarding the vessel’s current marina status can be discussed directly with Rica Boats as part of a serious buyer inquiry.
U.S. Flagged | Cruising Permit | Future Flexibility
Sol e Mar IV is U.S. flagged and operating under a Costa Rican cruising permit, providing flexibility for ownership and future planning.
Should a buyer decide—either now or at a later stage—to relocate the vessel, export and yacht transport logistics can be efficiently coordinated out of Golfito, allowing for a straightforward repositioning to the United States or another destination, if desired.
Upgrades & Maintenance Overview
In 2024, the vessel received a comprehensive electronics refit, including a Garmin electronics package, along with the installation of a Yacht Controller system, enhancing maneuverability and ease of docking.
She is powered by twin Cummins QSC 8.3 600-HO diesel engines paired with ZF V-Drives, a proven combination recognized for reliability and performance. A 1,000-hour service has been completed, all major engine and generator cooling systems have been serviced, the vessel has been hauled and maintained, and the teak decks have been professionally serviced and sealed.
The result is a well-sorted, turn-key yacht, suitable for private cruising in Costa Rica with the added advantage of international mobility.
