The staff had great positive energy. Everything went smoothly from check-in to the end. Good music, drinks, dancing, ocean swimming, we enjoyed it all! For those who aren't strong swimmers, there were life jackets and pool noodles available. There was also a staff member who acted as lifeguard and was very attentive. I was with a group of 6 and we had a great time. Definitely recommend.

Itinerary

Head to the marina in Panama City to board your catamaran bound for Taboga Island. This is one of the closest islands to Panama City so you won’t have to sit on a bus for hours to get there. Relax during the scenic cruise, then anchor at a secluded spot on the island.

At Taboga Island you’ll be free to swim, bathe in the sun or shade, or lounge on the nets with a drink. The catamaran has steps leading down to the water for easy access to the sea, or jump for extra excitement. This is an all-inclusive cruise so you can take advantage of the open bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

The crew will provide on-board entertainment while you sail to Taboga town, where you can disembark for a visit and a beach swim. Back on board, refuel with a tasty lunch before returning to the capital.

What an amazing, fun experience! The staff were so nice and attentive! I loved the open bar, the drinks were really good, and the lunch after the island stop was good too. The staff had fun dance choreographies ready to hype up the crowd which I participated in every one! (The drinks had me tipsy so everything was extra fun) The stop to jump off the boat was so nice and the island stop was absolutely beautiful. I suggest bringing cash to tip the boat staff and to buy stuff on the island! Such a great experience all around, I highly recommend!

Paulette_S, Sep 2026
This was by far one of the best excursions I have ever had the pleasure to experience! There staff were fabulous! Genesis, our hostess was wonderful. She was knowledgeable and included a little history about The Panama Canal and the island. We were blessed with glorious weather, even though it was the rainy season. The Red lady drink was delicious. Lunch was also very delicious. We ate on the boat which was a lovely experience. This all inclusive experience was dogs so well! Completely worth every penny!

Samantha_C, Aug 2026
Wouldn’t recommend it :( the boat is extremely clean and the staff are kind. However the time on the island is too long with very limited options. Not enough time to swim around the boat.

The Red Cat Crew are the best!! All the crew do the best they can to make everyone as comfortable as they can and they communicate very well. Was a full cruise and well driven by the captain and rigged by the rest of the crew. Is a great boat and a very steady voyage with music, drinks, swimming, dancing and so much fun!! The island is nice too!!

Great time!

Jackie_C, Aug 2026
What a great time! My husband and I try to do a catamaran tour whereever we go and we really enjoyed this. The boat itself was IMMACULATE and so clean, even in the bathrooms. The staff was so friendly, and always ready to give you a hand (literally) to help you move around on the boat if needed. On our way back, it rained and the crew offered trash bags for our things to keep them from getting wet- no catamaran tour we have been on before ever offered this. The boat does have covers in front and on sides so if it rains, you do have protection and do not have to be out in the rain. Many of the folks on the tour just chose to stay out in the rain anyway and some of the crew stayed out in the rain also to watch out for everyone. Bartenders were great, plenty of music and dancing. Just a tip about Taboga Island itself-take cash, vs assuming you can use a credit card. We are from US and they took US dollars, but the island itself is pretty primitive. We ate at a great two story hut on the beach. Ceviche was so good. Overall highly reccommend this tour!

Great Excursion…….

Mario_M, Aug 2026
What an amazing excursion for all ages! The crew was very attentive to the care of passengers and the catamaran. To my surprise the catamaran had had clean restrooms. Snack, drinks and food were plentiful. Special shout out to Jorge and the crew for being professional. This excursion was the highlight of the trip………

Chill out with a day on the water :)

Roger_Y, Jul 2026
A fun-loving crew and an easy day out across the water to a small island. You have a ~45 minute sail to a small island which was very pleasent. Grab a drink (or three!) and lay on the netting to feel the water splashing as you glide across the bay. A 30 minute swimming opportunity at the island, then a short trip around the corner where youu get off and wander around the village for a couple of hours. There's not much to do there, so chill out with a beverage or sit on the beach. Then back on the boat for lunch and a cruise back to the harbour. Very relaxing. Well worth it :)

Perfect Day Trip to Taboga - Especially for Solo Travelers!

Monika_G, Jul 2026
Amazing tour and perfect for solo travelers! The team was fantastic - friendly, communicative, and gave clear instructions throughout the day. The catamaran was super clean, and I loved relaxing in the sun on the nets with the open bar. You get plenty of time to explore Taboga Island and still have time to relax and enjoy the boat. The piña coladas served in an actual pineapple with free refills were definitely a highlight! 🍍🍹 Such a fun experience, and you’re back with plenty of the day left. Definitely recommend!

The staff on the boat were great and fun. However, some details did not corroborate with the actual experience. For example we didn't know we needed to pay out of pocket for the lounge chairs on the beach.
