Information for Yachts & SailboatsBlessed with coasts on two oceans, Panama is definitely an attractive destination for sailboats and yachts, not only due to the presence of the Panama Canal, but also due to the country’s fascinating geography, which includes approximately 2,000 islands, countless beaches, verdant rivers, and uncountable bays and cover surrounded by idyllic settings.

Due to the growth of tourism in recent decades, the number of private marinas has increased at hot locations such as Bocas del Toro, the San Blas Islands, the islands of the Gulf of Chiriquí and, the “Costa Arriba” region of the province of Colón –veritable meccas for diving and ecotourism.

Located south of the 10th parallel North, Panama is completely out of the hurricane track, although storms are frequent towards the months of October and November. Trade winds are stronger during the dry season (December-April.)
