Taboga Island Yacht Charters from Panama City

Taboga Island Yacht Charters from Panama City

Taboga, Panama’s Island of Flowers, is the island day most charters choose from Flamenco Marina on the Amador Causeway: a private yacht with the captain and crew, a swim stop in the coves, lunch at the beach and the skyline on the way home. Boats start from $800 for 3 hours, and the Taboga day is priced by the hours it needs.

Getting to Taboga by yacht vs the ferry

The ferry runs on a timetable to the public pier and you walk from there. A private yacht anchors off the coves, leaves when you want, carries your food and music, and takes the long way home past the skyline. The ferry is the cheaper ticket; the yacht is the day.

What a Taboga yacht day looks like

Depart Amador, 9 to 10 am

Out past Flamenco and the anchored ships, 45 to 60 minutes across.

Anchor in the coves

Playa Restinga or the north coves for a swim, paddleboards and the floating mat.

Lunch

Ashore in the village or on board from the cooler or the catering you added. What to do in the village is in Out.pa’s Taboga guide.

Taboguilla and the sunset return

A pass by the small island, then home with the skyline going gold.

Taboga charter prices by boat size

The same boat costs more for Taboga than for a bay cruise because the day is longer. Each card shows its shortest package:

  • 30 to 39 ft from $800
  • 40 to 49 ft from $950
  • 50 to 59 ft from $1,300

The team quotes the Taboga hours for the boat you pick, with no extra fees; the whole list is on Panama yacht rentals.

Who Taboga suits

Birthdays, families with children, couples and first visits. Groups that want more beach and clearer water go on to Contadora.

Questions

Taboga charter questions

How far is Taboga from Panama City by boat?
About 12 nautical miles: 45 to 60 minutes from Flamenco Marina depending on the boat.
Can you swim at Taboga?
Yes. The coves on the north and east sides are the swim stops; the captain anchors where the water is calm that day.
How many hours do we need for Taboga?
Six is the minimum that gives you time on the island; eight is comfortable.
Can we eat on the island?
Yes, the village has beach restaurants. Many groups eat on board instead and keep the anchorage.
How to get to taboga island?
Taboga is the island in Panama Bay, about 45 to 60 minutes from the Amador Causeway by private boat, or by the public ferry. On a yacht the crossing is part of the booked hours. The Taboga route is quoted for the boat you choose, with the captain and crew included and no extra fees.
How much is Taboga by yacht instead of the ferry?
The ferry is the cheaper ticket and runs on a fixed timetable to the public pier. A private yacht is priced by the boat and the Taboga hours, with everything included and no extra fees. It is booked with a 50% deposit. The yacht anchors off the coves, leaves when you want and comes home past the skyline.
How to get around taboga island?
On foot once you are ashore. The boat does not drive the island. The crossing from Amador is the charter; the walk around the village and the beaches is after you land.

What is included on a Taboga charter

The boat for your group only, a licensed captain and crew, ice, water, a life jacket for each guest and a Bluetooth speaker. Groups of any size are welcome: give us the full count, including children, and we match the boat. For a large group, contact us. The tip is the group’s to decide. Lunch comes from your own cooler, the village, or a private chef on board.

Best time to go to Taboga

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 and the captain watches the sky. A morning departure gives the calmest crossing and the longest time in the coves.

What to bring for a Taboga boat day

Sunscreen, a hat, swimwear, a towel, cash for the village and your drinks in cans or plastic. A yacht photographer can come along for a birthday or a proposal.

Taboga or the Pearl Islands?

Taboga is the shorter run and the easier day for children and first visits. The Pearl Islands are a longer crossing with clearer water. Both leave from Flamenco Marina, and a party on the way is planned on Panama yacht party.
