Panama Yacht Services
Panama yacht services are the extras added to a private charter from Flamenco Marina: catering, a private chef, a bartender, decorations, a DJ, a photographer and transfers to the dock. Each one is added to the charter when you book, with its price shown beside it. Add what you want when you book the boat, or ask the Panama team on WhatsApp.

Services for your charter
Catering is food delivered to the boat and set out on board. A private chef cooks or finishes a menu in the galley. A bartender runs a bar from your bottles or brings the bar. Decorations are balloons, banners and table styling installed before you board. A DJ plays from the deck. A photographer covers the day and delivers an edited gallery. Transportation takes the group from the hotel or the airport to Flamenco Marina and back. VIP club service books a club table after the boat. Each has its own page below, with what it covers and how it works on a Panama yacht.
Food and drink
Catering suits a group that wants to eat at anchor without anyone cooking: platters, a lunch buffet or finger food delivered to Flamenco Marina before departure and set out by the crew. A private chef suits a seated lunch or dinner, with a menu planned for the group and finished on board. A bartender suits a party: by the hour with your own bottles, or with the bar brought aboard. The three can be combined, and the details are on Panama yacht catering, the private chef page and the bartender page.
Whatever the menu, it has to travel: food that holds in the heat, drinks in cans or plastic, and nothing that needs a full kitchen on a boat that has none.
Decor, music and photos
Decorations turn a boat into a birthday or a bachelorette before the guests arrive, and come off after. A DJ brings the decks and plays to your playlist; the party boats also carry their own sound. A photographer or videographer covers the sunset, the toast, the proposal or the team picture, and delivers an edited gallery after the charter. Each is sold by the hour or by the package.
Transfers and the night after
Transportation collects the group from a hotel in Punta Pacífica, Casco Viejo or the banking district, or from Tocumen airport, and waits at Amador for the return. For a Caribbean trip, the 4x4 to Cartí for San Blas is planned the same way. VIP club service reserves a table and bottle service at a Panama City club for the night after the boat, priced separately from the boat.
How services are added and priced
Book the boat first, so the date and the departure are fixed, then add the services on the same booking. The price of each one is shown beside it, separate from the boat price on the card, so the full cost of the day is clear before you book. A service is confirmed when the Panama team replies in writing on WhatsApp with the time it arrives at the boat and what it brings, and changes to the guest count or the menu go through the same thread, so there is one record.
If a service is not listed for your date or boat, ask the Panama team on WhatsApp; they will tell you what can be arranged.
Putting a day together
A birthday on the bay: decorations, a cake setup and a photographer at golden hour. A bachelorette to Taboga: a bartender, catering for lunch at anchor and a DJ, then a club table in the city. A corporate evening: transfers from the hotels, a private chef and a photographer for the team picture. A proposal: roses, a sign and a hidden photographer. Any combination can be added to one booking.
Lead times at a glance
Decorations, catering and a bartender: ask at least three days ahead. A private chef or a DJ: a week ahead, more in the dry season and around Carnaval, Fiestas Patrias and New Year. Transfers can usually be added up to the day before. Same-day requests are answered as the suppliers allow.
What the boat can carry
A service has to fit the boat. A buffet needs a table and shade; a DJ needs deck space and power; a chef works in a galley, which the motor yachts and catamarans have. Glass stays off the deck, and confetti and glitter stay off every boat. Tell the team which boat you booked and the services are set up around it.
Photos and videos
Photos of past setups and supplier work are sent on request through WhatsApp, so you see the actual caterer, decorator or photographer for your date.
