About this experience
Enjoy a private 8-hour charter aboard a Viking 46ft yacht to the Pearl Islands, a Pacific archipelago with over 200 islands and islets. Most are uninhabited, with white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and coastal areas shaped by tides.

This private yacht tour includes A/C, flybridge, bathrooms, drinks, snorkeling gear, sound system, and fishing equipment. You can fish during the cruise or along coastal areas. BBQ or catering is available on request.
Enjoy a smooth ride, comfortable spaces, and flexible planning as you cruise through Panama’s most scenic marine destinations. This is the ideal way to combine privacy, nature, and leisure aboard a fully equipped yacht with dedicated crew.
