This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a very successful submarine business in Lanzarote and Tenerife. having both unique infrastructure at the beautiful marinas of Puerto Calero, Lanzarote. and Marina San Miguel, Tenerife. If you wish to purchase a submarine and have them shipped to another country, we can offer that service and complete training will be given to you and your staff.

With more than 30,000 dives and over 1 million happy visitors, these submarines are one of the islands’ top attractions. The main success factors of these businesses are the very efficiently built infrastructures (berths, tourist reception areas, gift shops etc.) and of course the near perfect climates of Lanzarote and Tenerife, allowing all year round dives.

The company was first established in Lanzarote in the summer of 1997. It was the first and only real diving submarine on the island, which brought a new and top tourist attraction to this wonderful island, and to the beautiful marina of Puerto Calero. The company continuously improved its approach and operating model and evolved to one of the most successful examples in its kind.

This success resulted into the expansion of the company in 2007: a new submarine (‘Sub Fun Cinco’) was introduced on the island of Tenerife, enabling Submarine Safaris to reach a larger market (Tenerife is a top tourist location since many decades).

The business has a successful proven track record of continued financial growth and is looking to achieve a 20% increase this year. These businesses are being offered for sale due to the owners retirement.
