Sailing Panamá

Panamá is the only country that gives you two oceans right up close. You can land at Tocumen Airport and reach world-class marinas on either coast in just a couple of hours—or as close as 30 minutes from the airport to the Pacific—making it easier to set sail the very day you arrive.

Before your adventure begins, Panama City—a vibrant urban metropolis—welcomes you with its striking skyline, world-class dining, and cosmopolitan energy, serving as a gateway unlike any other in the region. But Panamá is more than the city: with 2,900 km of coastline, it’s the country with the most islands in Central America, boasting over 1,400 islands and three major archipelagos across the Caribbean and Pacific.

Nowhere else on Earth can you cross from one ocean to the other via The Panama Canal. Enjoy a partial or full transit – all while navigating alongside massive commercial ships. Ready?
