You pick a yacht, share your date, schedule and guest count, and we reply with all-fees-included pricing in U.S. dollars. That usually covers the yacht, captain, crew, fuel for the planned route, basic cleaning and standard marina fees, with tip separate. Once you approve the quote, you sign a simple Panamanian charter agreement and pay a booking deposit to secure your slot.

Before your trip we confirm your departure marina in Panama City, pickup time, captain and any add-ons. On the day of your charter, our team or crew will meet you at the dock for a quick check-in and safety briefing, then you set off toward Panama Bay, Taboga or the islands.

Most Panama yacht rentals with Feeling Yachty include the yacht, professional captain, crew, fuel for the standard itinerary, basic cleaning, marina or mooring fees, cooler and ice, bottled water and Bluetooth sound. Many yachts also include a floating water mat or other light water toys.

Our policy is All Fees Included—you see the full charter rate up front so there are no surprise fuel or dock fees at the end. Only gratuity, upgrades and special requests (like catering, extra toys or premium routes) are separate.

Pricing depends on yacht size and category, model year, trip length, weekday vs weekend, season, and route. Shorter Panama Bay cruises on smaller yachts are the most budget-friendly, while full-day trips to the Pearl Islands or premium yachts for events sit at the higher end.

Because we use All Fees Included pricing, your quote shows the final amount with taxes, fuel and standard marina fees already built in. You can then add optional extras like catering, decorations or water sports depending on your budget.

For smaller yachts and bay cruises, private charters typically start in the high hundreds of dollars for a few hours in Panama Bay. Full-day trips to Taboga Island usually move into the low thousands depending on yacht size and season, and longer-range trips to the Pearl Islands or larger event yachts will be higher because of distance, fuel and crew time.

The exact price for your group will depend on your date, departure time, destination, number of guests and whether you add food, bar packages, decorations or water toys. We quote everything together so you can see how each choice affects the total.

In Panama, people use “yacht rental” and “yacht charter” to describe a private boat with captain and crew reserved just for your group. A “party boat” might be a larger shared catamaran, a ferry-style boat that sells individual tickets, or a simple boat focused on music and drinks more than luxury details.

Feeling Yachty focuses on curated private charters in Panama City, Taboga and the Pearl Islands. We can match you with yachts that feel like a relaxed bay cruise, a full-on party boat experience or a refined corporate or family outing—always on legal, insured vessels with professional crew.

For popular weekends in the dry season (roughly December through April) and big dates like New Year’s, Carnavales, Semana Santa and national holidays, we recommend booking 4–8 weeks in advance. The best yachts and time slots often sell out first.

Outside of peak dates, many weekdays and some Sundays can be booked closer to your trip. If you are last-minute, send us your date, time window, departure area and guest count and we will reply with what is still available that fits your plan.

Most Panama yachts have a 4-hour minimum, with 4-hour and 6-hour charters being the most popular for Panama Bay and Taboga. Full-day charters to islands often run 8–10 hours, and select yachts can be booked for overnight or multi-day trips.

Shorter bay cruises are best if you mainly want skyline photos and a quick swim, while full-day or multi-day options are ideal for island-hopping in the Pearl Islands or combining beach time with whale watching in season.

For up to 6 guests, a 35–40ft cruiser or catamaran is usually perfect for Panama Bay or a relaxed Taboga day. For 8–10 guests, 40–50ft gives more deck space and shaded seating. Many standard private yachts are certified for up to 12 passengers, which is a common limit on smaller charters.

Once you go above that, you usually need a larger catamaran or passenger-style vessel that is inspected and certified to carry more people under Panamanian regulations. We will always recommend options that respect the legal passenger capacity for each yacht.

For a 20 person yacht rental in Panama, we normally look at larger catamarans and passenger-certified yachts that are approved to carry that many guests. Some boats are ideal for bay parties with music and dancing, while others are designed for more relaxed island days.

Tell us your date, approximate budget and whether you prefer Panama Bay, Taboga or the Pearl Islands. We will suggest legal, insured vessels that can comfortably host around 20 people and still give you room to move, dance and take photos.

Once you reach around 25 guests, you are firmly in event yacht or large catamaran territory. That usually means using a passenger-inspected vessel designed for bigger groups, with layouts that keep everyone safe and comfortable.

We work with yachts and catamarans in Panama that are built for this size, including options with spacious decks, shaded areas, bar space and room for a DJ or small dance floor. We will guide you toward vessels that match the kind of event you want—chill island day, upbeat party or corporate outing.

Groups of 20+ guests generally need either a passenger-certified catamaran or event yacht, or in some cases a two-boat flotilla sailing together. The right option depends on your exact headcount, route and whether you want a relaxed cruise or a full party setup.

We will ask for your date, time, group size, preferred departure area and budget. From there, we suggest compliant options for Panama Bay, Taboga or the islands and help you organize logistics like check-in, catering, music and transport so your guests know exactly where to go.

“Cheap” Panama yacht rentals often mean smaller or older boats, weekday departures and shorter trips, usually staying closer to Panama City. That can be a great way to save—as long as the yacht is licensed, insured and operating legally under Panamanian maritime rules.

We screen boats for safety equipment, insurance, professional crew and realistic passenger limits. Our more budget-friendly options still follow these standards and use All Fees Included pricing so you are not surprised by extra fuel, marina or captain charges at the dock.

Affordable yacht rentals aim for the best value for money instead of the absolute lowest price. Think modern mid-size yachts or catamarans, weekday or Sunday slots, and 4–6 hour charters that still feel high-end but keep the total reasonable.

They are ideal for small groups, birthdays, bachelorette trips, anniversaries and families who want a stylish experience on Panama Bay, Taboga or nearby islands without committing to the largest yachts or longest itineraries.

Panama is a major maritime hub, and safety is taken seriously. We prioritize licensed captains and crew, commercial insurance, correctly equipped yachts and legal passenger limits. Boats are expected to carry life jackets for every person, signaling devices, VHF radio, fire extinguishers and navigation lights, and open-sea routes use yachts equipped for longer distances.

Passenger-carrying vessels in Panama also follow rules set by the national maritime authority regarding inspection and insurance when they transport larger groups. Before departure, your crew will brief you on life jackets, basic emergency procedures and the safe use of water toys so everyone understands the onboard rules.

For bachelorette and birthday parties, we love yachts and catamarans with open decks, strong sound systems, floating mats and easy access to beaches or calm anchorages near Taboga or the islands. Corporate charters often prefer more seating, shade and quieter routes for mingling and client hosting around Panama Bay.

Tell us your occasion, guest mix and vibe (chill, elevated, full party) and we will recommend specific Panama yachts that match your group size, budget and route preferences.

Yes—sunset and golden-hour charters in Panama Bay are some of our most popular trips. We can help with timing, simple décor, music and photo planning so your moment lands as the sun drops behind the hills and the Panama City skyline lights up.

Proposal and anniversary charters often combine a short bay cruise with a special stop for photos, a toast and, if you like, a private dinner setup on board or at a partner venue after your charter.

Absolutely. You can keep it simple with platters, snacks and open bar basics, or upgrade to a full private chef menu and professional bartender for larger events and VIP groups. Menus can highlight Panamanian flavors, international favorites or a mix of both.

When you inquire, let us know your ideal service level—light bites, family-style, formal dinner, cocktail focus—and any dietary preferences. We will suggest options that work well with your route, group size and budget.

Yes—live DJs, content creators, photographers and drone operators are available by request. We work with local crews who know the marinas, Taboga, the Pearl Islands and the best skyline angles so you get strong content without stressing about logistics.

Packages can include a DJ or curated playlists, ground and aerial photography, edited videos and content capture focused on social media. Tell us what matters most—party energy, cinematic shots, or brand-safe corporate coverage—and we will match you with the right team.

Most yachts include a floating water mat, and many can add paddleboards, snorkel sets and other toys depending on your route. In some areas, you can also connect with licensed local operators for jet skis or additional water sports, subject to availability and local rules.

Let us know your group size, ages and comfort levels in the water. We will recommend a mix of toys that fit the yacht, the anchorage and the overall vibe—whether that is chill floating, active paddling or more adrenaline-focused options where permitted.

Top Panama routes include Panama Bay skyline cruises with views of Casco Viejo, the Cinta Costera and Amador Causeway, day trips to Taboga Island, and longer charters to the Pearl Islands for clear water and beaches. Some itineraries also include views near the entrance of the Panama Canal or whale watching in season.

Your captain will suggest the best route based on your departure marina, trip length, sea conditions and whether you prefer more sightseeing, island time, wildlife, or party coves. We can also customize stops for swimming, photos, beach time and sunset views.

Yes, select yachts in Panama offer overnight, weekend and multi-day charters with cabins, crew and flexible itineraries. These are perfect for mini yacht getaways, multi-island trips in the Pearl Islands, or longer routes that mix beach time with open-water cruising.

When you ask about overnight or multi-day charters, share your ideal dates, whether you want a bay-and-islands combo or full island-hopping, and how many cabins you need. We will present yachts that are set up for safe, comfortable overnight cruising.

Yes—most Panama yacht rentals with Feeling Yachty are captain-and-crew included, and their base pay is built into your All Fees Included rate. Crews are expected to hold the appropriate Panamanian licenses and seafarer documents for the type of vessel and route they operate.

Gratuity (tip) is separate and typically ranges from 10–20% of the charter price, depending on the level of service and local custom for your group. For larger events, tips are often handled as a single envelope or added to the final payment and distributed to the crew.
