Shelter Bay Marina

Shelter Bay Marina sits on the Caribbean side of Panama, making it a prime base for Canal transit preparation — you're right where you need to be before heading through one of the world's great waterways. The atmosphere here is active and sociable, with a tight-knit community of liveaboards and long-distance cruisers passing through from all corners of the globe. It's a hurricane-free zone with full marina services, and the surrounding jungle setting near the old Fort Sherman adds a wild, untamed edge you won't find at most marinas.
