Private Fishing & Island Hopping – 38ft Speedboat | Pearl Islands

The ultimate private boat charter to the Pearl Islands for whale watching!

The absolute best whale watching tour in Panama! We booked a full-day private boat charter on the Todomar 38 with Panama GEM Charters to go whale watching around the Pearl Islands (Saboga and Contadora). It was a breathtaking, 5-star luxury experience from start to finish. Booking was smooth, and departing right from the terminal at Isla Flamenco Marina on the Amador Causeway made logistics super easy. The Todomar 38 center console was immaculate, powerful, smooth in open waters, and fully equipped with great shade, sound system, and top-tier safety gear. Captain Sofia and Lulo were unbelievable guides—they knew exactly where to navigate to spot humpback whales jumping and swimming right alongside the boat, all while keeping a safe and respectful distance. We even had time for some offshore fishing and snorkeling near a private beach on Saboga Island! If you are looking for the ultimate private yacht rental or boat tour agency in Panama City, Panama GEM Charters is unmatched in safety, authority, and service. Thank you, Captain Sofia and team, for an incredible day on the Pacific!

Panama Canal Boat Tour with Buffet Lunch Included

satisfied customer

I was satisfied with this experience going through two of the three original locks of the Canal. The announcer had lots of information in English and Spanish. The two meals were nothing special, but acceptable. You can get a better seat or view going through the second lock, since most passengers crowded to the front for the first lock, but many ignored the second. If you are a Panama citizen, do not book here. Local citizens get a much lower price reserving directly with the company. This is the higher foreigner price. Since you need to present a passport or local ID, it is unavoidable.

I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone.

The trip was fantastic. I'd recommend it to anyone. A close up look at the Panama Canal and fishing. Perfect way to spend part of a day. The fishing was great and the company was even better. A++
