Yacht Extended Services - Destination Panama

Introducing Panama, an alternative cruising ground to the Med and other far away places for Luxury Yachts.  

 

Most Panamanians believe the word PANAMA derived from an old indian word that meant "abundance of fish, trees and butterflies".  The Kuna Indian Tribe in Panama believe the word originated from the word 'bannaba' which means "distant" or "far away" but Panama's close proximatey to South Florida rules that out in a great destination for luxury yachts.  In fact, the distance between South Florida and Panama is equal distance to that of South Florida and Dallas, Texas and less than 2 1/2 hours by air when its time to join up with your yacht again.

San Blas Islands  

 

9.5700° N, 78.8200° W

 

The San Blas islands are a group of islands in the archipelago de San Blas, located in the Northwest of Panama facing the Caribbean Sea. There are 378 islands within the archipelago and they are scattered around in an area of about 100 square miles.

 

You will play in and around our islands with white sand and crystal clear bathwater warm waters of incredible beauty. 

Bocas del Toro 

 

9.3406° N, 82.2406° W

 

Fiji?  Tahiti? No, welcome to Bocas del Toro archipelago where you will be amused and amazed, tempted beyond belief and for certain take with you priceless memories of a different world.

 

Colorful and utterly Caribbean, this town of clapboard houses were built by the United Fruit Company in the early 20th century.  Travelers to this area have a reputation for canceling future travel plans to stay longer! 

Perlas Islands 

 

8.3333° N, 79.1166° W

 

The Pearl Islands, an archipelago completely off the beaten path. Traveling here you could easily get the feeling, and rightly so, that you are in on a secret that the rest of the traveling world has yet to discover.

 

All the islands of the Perlas are vibrant and alluring.  Swim or snorkel in a secluded bay with a waterfall cascading right into the sea

Isla Coiba 

 

7.4330° N, 81.7660° W

 

Located in the Gulf of Chiriquí, Coiba National Park is a marine reserve off Panama's Pacific Coast and is comprised of a group of 38 islands.

 

Because Isla Coiba served Panama as a penal colony, access to the island was very restricted. Almost by accident, 80% of the islands' natural resources have therefore survived untouched and flourished through limited human contact.

Panama City & Canal 

 

9.0800° N, 79.6900° W

 

The Panama Canal stands as one of the world’s greatest feats of engineering. 

 

The Canal is 48 miles long, was 17 years in the making and had enough rock and rubble dug from the isthmus of Central America to circle the earth four times.  But as awe-inspiring as the "big ditch" is, it's still only a tiny sliver of what Panama has to offer.

 

 

 

 

That if your current advisors  knew, surely they'd have told you already- wouldn't they?
