The lineup

Six ways to spend a day here. Most of them end with you sunburnt and pleased about it.

Boat day · most booked

Taboga anchor-up

Thirty minutes out of Flamenco and you're swimming off the back of the boat. Anchor in the bay, float around, eat, swim again, come back in for dinner. The easy yes.

Boat day · the big one

Contadora & the Pearls

Two hours under way, then empty beaches all afternoon. Tender to shore, floating mats off the stern, a proper lunch aboard. Make it an overnight and don't come back Sunday.

Golden hour

Sunset in the bay

Three hours out at the mouth of the canal with the skyline going pink behind you and ships stacked up on the horizon. Short, cheap, unreasonably good. Great for a first night.

After dark

Casco Viejo rooftops

Old town, four rooftops, one host who knows every door. Skip the queues, skip the guesswork, end up somewhere with a view of the skyline and a DJ you didn't plan on.

Isla Grande & Portobelo

Caribbean side, two hours by road. Congo drums, fried fish on the sand, warm flat water and a completely different Panama. Go Friday, come back Sunday brown and useless.

Serious
fishing?

Piñas Bay, Coiba and Hannibal Bank — camps and offshore days for people who came here to catch something.

Hour by hour

How a
boat day goes

So nobody has to ask what's happening next. This is the Taboga day, start to finish.

09:15

Cars collect you

From your hotel or apartment, anywhere in the city. One driver per six people so nobody's squashed.

Included
10:00

Lines off at Flamenco

Bags aboard, ice in the coolers, speakers on, safety brief that takes ninety seconds. Then out past the causeway.

Be there 09:45
10:40

Anchor down off Taboga

Swim ladder out, floats in the water, bar open. This is the part everyone came for.

3 hrs at anchor
13:30

Lunch aboard

Ceviche, grilled fish, patacones, cold everything. Tell us in advance and we'll cook around whatever anyone doesn't eat.

Included
15:00

Ashore, if you want

Tender to the beach at Taboga for an hour. Beach bar, the old church, a walk. Or stay on the boat. Nobody's counting.

Optional
17:00

Run home the long way

Past the anchorage and the bridge with the sun going down behind the skyline. Music up. Last of the ice.

Best hour
18:00

Docked, cars waiting

Dropped wherever you're going next. If that's dinner, we've already got you a table.

Ask us

Nothing gets added at the dock. Fuel, crew, port fees, food and drink are in the price. A 30% deposit holds the date and the balance is due the day before. Cancel more than seven days out and the deposit moves to another date; inside seven days we keep it, unless the port closes for weather — then you choose a new date or take it back.
