Flamenco Marina: Where Panama Yacht Charters Depart

Where is Flamenco Marina?

Flamenco Marina sits at the far end of the Amador Causeway, the road that joins Panama City to the islands of Naos, Perico and Flamenco beside the Pacific entrance of the canal. The address is Flamenco Island, Amador Causeway, Panama City. All 43 Panama boats on this site list it as their departure, so the marina on your confirmation is this one. Slips, fuel and how the marina works are covered on Yachty Guide, in how Flamenco Marina works.

How do you get to Flamenco Marina?

By taxi or car along the causeway, past the Biomuseo and the Bridge of the Americas. Groups staying in Punta Pacífica are about fifteen minutes away with the transfer to Flamenco Marina, which can also wait for the return.

When should we arrive, and who meets us?

Arrive 20 to 30 minutes before the booked time: the charter clock starts at that time. The confirmation names the boat, the dock and the contact for the day. Forward it to the group, and WhatsApp the Panama team on +507 202-1729 if anyone is running late.

What should we bring?

Ice, water, a life jacket for each person and a Bluetooth speaker are aboard. Bring sunscreen, a hat, swimwear, a towel and your own drinks in cans or plastic: no glass on deck. Food can come with you or be added as yacht catering when you book.

Where can you go from Flamenco Marina?

Panama Bay and its skyline, Taboga Island, and Contadora and the rest of the Pearl Islands all leave from this dock; the longer the route, the higher the price for the same boat. San Blas is the exception: it is on the Caribbean coast and starts there. A catamaran in Panama is the steadier boat for an island day with a bigger group.

Where do we return?

Day charters come back to Flamenco Marina, where the boat left from, so the ride home can be booked for the same dock.
