Shelter Bay Marina Information

Shelter Bay Marina, at the Caribbean entrance to the Panama Canal, began operations in 2005. We are very well placed to assist canal transits,and can also provide an excellent base for those wishing to take advantage of the wonderful local cruising, and sport fishing opportunities. Undeniably, Panama is becoming a sought after destination for sailors: we are just 70 miles from one of the true gems of the cruising world, the San Blas Islands. It helps to be well south of the hurricane risk zone. We can handle mega yachts to 270 feet on well constructed and protected docks in clear waters. All vessels from the biggest to the 30 footers can take advantage of convenient side-ties with plenty of maneuvering room. Not only do we have the protection of the Panama Canal breakwater, but we are further protected by the cove we share with the Panamanian Coast Guard. We have all the services you would expect from a Marina catering to experienced sailors: modern electrical services with both standard American and European outlets (60 hz).
