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?

Two Oceans, Three Epic Routes

Panamá might be small, but we are packed with +1,400 islands, 6 archipelagos, and stunning coasts waiting for you to discover. All you have to do is pick your next adventure: On the Caribbean coast, immerse yourself in the rich Afro-Caribbean and Gunayala living cultures, while on the Pacific coast, discover community-based tourism and see firsthand the country’s commitment to marine and coastal conservation.

We've crafted a unique sailing itinerary for each, so you can set sail on your next unforgettable adventure. 

One more thing! If sport fishing is your passion, no worries! We also have an amazing dedicated fishing route designed for you to catch prize-worthy fish while discovering hidden gems along the Pacific coast. Pick a route and cast off
