Panama Private Tours and Yacht Day Trips from Panama City
Feeling Yachty’s Panama tours are private yacht days from Flamenco Marina on the Amador Causeway: Panama Bay and sunset cruises, Taboga Island, and Contadora and the Pearl Islands, with San Blas as a separate Caribbean trip. The boat is your group’s alone, with the captain and crew included, from $800 for 3 hours.
Which private Panama tour fits your day?
| Tour | Starts from | The day | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Panama Bay skyline cruise | Flamenco Marina | A short cruise past Casco Viejo and the canal entrance, from $800 for 3 hours | Sunsets, birthdays, a first evening |
| Taboga Island day trip | Flamenco Marina | An island day with swim stops in the coves, priced by the route | Families, couples, first visits |
| Pearl Islands and Contadora | Flamenco Marina | A full day or an overnight on the islands, priced by the route | Beach days, snorkelling, whale season |
| San Blas by catamaran | The Caribbean coast | One to three nights among the Guna Yala cays | An overnight on the water |
Panama Bay and sunset cruises
The shortest tour stays in the bay: the Casco Viejo waterfront, the Cinta Costera skyline, the Bridge of the Americas and the ships waiting for the Panama Canal. A sunset slot brings the boat home as the city lights come on.
Taboga Island yacht day trip
Taboga, the Island of Flowers, is the island day most Panama charters choose: the boat anchors off the coves for a swim, lunch is on board or in the village, and the group is home the same afternoon. The ferry runs to the public pier on a timetable; the yacht leaves when you want.
Contadora and the Pearl Islands: a full day or an overnight?
Contadora has the restaurants and the resort beaches; Saboga next door has the quieter sand and the reef. The crossing is longer than Taboga’s, so the same boat costs more for this route, and the captain turns the day toward Taboga if the swell makes it uncomfortable. Contadora yacht charter has the island day hour by hour.
San Blas: the Caribbean side
San Blas does not leave from Amador. It is a separate trip on Panama’s Caribbean coast, where catamarans with cabins take one group among the Guna Yala islands for one to three nights.
Land tours to combine with a yacht day
Some groups ride in the morning and sail at sunset. Horseback riding in Panama is arranged by request; tell the team the riders’ experience and the date, and the yacht is planned around it.
Best time of year for Panama boat tours
The dry season, December to April, has the calmest Pacific and the clearest water. From May to November short afternoon storms are common, so mornings are booked first. Humpback whales pass the Pearl Islands from July to October.
