Sailing Catamaran Tours Panama

Join Catamaran Outventure and her crew for unforgettable private day catamaran sailing yacht charters and also multiple-day catamaran sailing tours, for example to the Pearl Islands.

Starting in Buenaventura Marina, close to Rio Hato and Playa Blanca, in Panama on the Pacific Coast, there are ample possibilities to cruise along the coast, and anchor on remote islands or beaches.

The luxury, French-built Lagoon 43 catamaran is based in Buenaventura Marina, within Buenaventura Resort and close to Buenaventura Hotel in Rio Hato. Guests who vacation in the RIU Playa Blanca or Playa Blanca Resort may be picked up directly from the hotel beach.

We sail out to a small Island called Isla Farallon, where you may swim in the ocean, discover the underwater world with provided masks and snorkels, practice your Stand up paddle board skills, kayak around the island, or just relax with a floaty in the sea.

We offer private and shared catamaran tours in Buenaventura & Playa Blanca in Panama:

  • Private charters — the entire catamaran exclusively for your group, ideal for six up to 35 guests, but bookable for smaller groups for a more intimate experience
  • Scheduled shared catamaran tours, departing every Monday during high season (December to April)
  • Shared tours on demand — we connect two or more smaller groups to share a catamaran tour and split the cost

You may join us for a catamaran sailing trip or sunset cruise if you are on a holiday in Panama, for example, if you stay in the RIU Hotel Playa Blanca in Rio Hato, in Playa Blanca, in Decameron or Bijao. All of those are only a short drive away. Also, Coronado, El Valle de Anton (Anton Valley), and San Carlos are a short driving distance.

Optional hotel pickup available from RIU Playa Blanca, Playa Blanca Hotel, Buenaventura, Gran Evenia Bijao and Decameron resorts.

FISHING TOURS AND SPORTFISHING CHARTERS IN PANAMA:
PLAYA BLANCA, RIO HATO, BUENAVENTURA

The Pacific side of Panama is famous for its game fish. The name “Panama” is believed by many to come from an indigenous word meaning “abundance of fish” — a fitting name for these waters.

If you are on vacation in Panama and stay in or around Buenaventura, Playa Blanca, Rio Hato, or the Valle de Anton, you can combine your catamaran tour with some fishing, or book a dedicated fishing trip starting from Buenaventura Marina.

Whether it’s a relaxed family day with a line in the water, or going after big game fish like Tuna and Marlin on a professional sportfishing charter boat.

Give us a call or send a Whatsapp message to +507 61206010 and we will be happy to get out on the water catching some fish, no matter if it’s just a relaxed day out at sea with your family and some fishing on the way or the big game fish for Tuna and Marlin on a professional sportfishing charter boat.

Humpback whale fluke off Panama's Pacific coastWhale Watching in Panama – July to October

Every year from July to October, humpback whales travel more than 8,000 km from Antarctica to breed and nurse their newborn calves just a few miles off Playa Blanca, Buenaventura and Isla Farallón — with peak activity in August and September, when mothers with their calves settle into the calm waters right off our coast for weeks at a time. During the season, every private charter doubles as a whale watching tour: we watch the whales respectfully, then anchor at Isla Farallón for swimming, snorkeling and BBQ. And since our catamaran is out on these waters every week, we’re the first to know whether the whales are around — just ask.

Whale season is short — ask us for this week’s whale report:
