Features of yachting in Panama
The main yacht area in Panama is the San Blas Islands. This picturesque archipelago consists of three hundred islands, of which around 50 are inhabited. Panamanian islands are very popular among yachtsmen from the USA and Canada, and European tourists also frequently visit these heavenly places. Permission from local authorities is necessary for a yacht trip around the Panamanian islands, but Panamanian officials are usually quite tolerant in this matter.
The maritime tropical climate prevails in Panama, with insignificant temperature fluctuations. High humidity (about 80%) and cloudiness are observed in these places throughout the year. The average annual air temperature is about +26°C, and the water temperature is +24°C.
The most favorable time for yacht rental in Panama is the period from January to May. From June to December, there is a rainy and hurricane season.
The official language in modern Panama is Spanish, and the main currency is the balboa, but US dollars are accepted everywhere.
In the language of the local Kuna Indian tribe, the name of the state of Panama can be translated as "a place with a lot of fish." And there is indeed good fishing here.
Renting a yacht with or without a captain.
The website of the company "7Piers" presents various options for charter yachts and catamarans based in Panamanian marinas. You can hire a whole crew (captain and chef) or use the bareboat rental service to personally operate the vessel.
To rent a yacht in Panama without a captain, you need to present a skipper's license to the charter company representative. Any official document for operating a small vessel (RYA, IYT, ISSA certificate) or a GIMS certificate will suffice. If you rent a yacht with a captain, no licensing documents will be required.
