Panama is the only charter in the world where you begin in one ocean and end in another. The canal makes the country, and transiting it under your own keel ’ three sets of locks, a lake, a continental divide ’ is among the more extraordinary days available on a yacht.
Either side of it, the country is wilder than its reputation. The Pacific holds Coiba, a former penal colony whose isolation preserved its reef and forest intact. The Caribbean holds San Blas, hundreds of islands governed by the Guna, who have run their own affairs for a century.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read Panama; the rest we tailor to you.
