Christmas Yacht Charters in Panama

Yachts for Christmas

The boats above are the Panama fleet, cheapest first. A company party of 20 to 30 takes a Todomar or PBTF party boat; a seated Christmas dinner for 40 or more takes the 90 ft Broward. A family takes a catamaran or a 46 to 65 ft yacht with shade. There is no set guest cap in Panama: send the full head count, children included, and the team matches the boat.

Christmas in Panama

Panama celebrates on the night of 24 December, Nochebuena, with a family dinner at midnight, and 25 December is a national holiday. Before that, 8 December is Mother's Day, also a holiday. Through December, companies hold their end-of-year parties and schools their graduations, and the city fills with families home for the holidays.

Company Christmas parties

The sunset cruise with drinks and a DJ, the seated dinner in the Broward's saloon, or an afternoon party on deck with a swim stop off Taboguilla. Catering, a bartender, a DJ, decorations and a photographer for the team picture are added to your charter when you book. Book as soon as the company calendar is set; the larger boats go first.

Christmas week with the family

The quiet days between Christmas and New Year are the family days: a Taboga beach day with lunch at anchor, a Pearl Islands day in the dry-season calm, or a sunset with the grandparents. The family plan is on Panama family yacht charters.

Christmas visitors

Families flying home for the holidays, and visitors escaping a northern winter, arrive in Panama to the first weeks of the dry season: clear skies, steady trade winds and a calm Pacific. A day on the water is the simplest way to gather a family that has not been together all year, with the grandparents in the shade and the cousins in the water. Transfers from the hotels or the airport can be added to your charter when you book, so nobody has to find the marina alone.

Sunset in December

The sun sets around 6:00 to 6:15 pm in December, behind the Bridge of the Americas from the bay. Board in the late afternoon and the golden hour, the skyline lights and the anchored ships glittering in the bay all happen on the water. The sunset route is on the Panama sunset cruise.

Decorations and food

Red and green or gold and white, tied down, with no confetti or glitter. A Christmas cake, tamales, ham sandwiches and fruit travel well as catering. Bring your own drinks in cans or plastic.

Booking

The boat and the hours set the price, with the captain and the crew on the card. A 50% deposit online holds the date, and the balance is paid in person on the day. New Year's Eve has its own page, and every other holiday is on Panama holiday yacht rentals.
