Highlights
  • Isla Taboga - Taboga island’s name derives from the Indian word aboga (“many fish”). Located about 20 minutes from Panama City, it has great beaches to swim and snorkel, as well as docking facilities to step into the friendly local fisherman town.

Once in Taboga, feel free to walk around town, visit its church (the second oldest one in the hemisphere), enjoy the local art and crafts, or relax by having lunch (We have optional additional catering packages). After lunch, choose between snorkeling, fishing, or cruising back to Panama City.

  • Panama Canal - You’ll get to see firsthand the ship carriers in their cross from the Pacific side of the Panama Canal. While they cruise under America’s bridge, you’ll get to cruise right next to them, in the Canal’s designated route.
  • Panama City - You’ll get to see the anchorage of the Canal at Panama Bay while your guide will explain how its system works. While cruising Panama Bay, you get to appreciate the magnificent city’s skyline and, depending on the time of the day you wish to depart, enjoy the Panamanian sunshine or sunset. The Panama Bay is rich in several species throughout the year, such as Spanish Mackerel, snapper, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, and Tuna bonito. You get to fish no matter your level of expertise, as we will provide all equipment and the captain and deckhand will assist you

Additional Information

This tour is a fun, fully customizable boat adventure discovering the beautiful Taboga island and its surroundings (at eight nautical miles from the City). It departs directly from Panama City. You will be on board the Viking 46’, a comfortable yacht with a spacious second-floor lounge, two cabins, two bathrooms, A/C, Smart TV, and a complete galley.

Several picturesque islets surround Taboga with dense vegetation and a fantastic waterfall that crashes directly into the Ocean. The island has three great beaches, a fishermen’s village, great seafood, and local restaurants.

If you would like a fishing-oriented day, depart early in the morning. You can throw lines around the Bay of Panama and the island of Taboga and go to one of the best fishing spots in Panamanian waters: Twenty Fathom, about five nautical miles south of the island.

Great fishing experience ever - I was pleasantly surprised when my friend took me on a trip to Contadora Island. Plenty of activities kept us engaged, from spotting dolphins and whales to encountering various marine animals. Fishing, in particular, was an exhilarating experience that I became hooked on. I strongly recommend it to everyone who wants to try something new and exciting. We did island hopping in the archipelago, and it was just amazing. Snorkeling in completely deserted islands in crystal clear waters was incredible! 100% the best birthday ever!
