Panama City: Taboga Island Full-Day Pirate Ship Tour & Bar

This is Panama's one and only party pirate ship experience. We will be setting out across the high seas in our 110 foot Spanish Galleon for a day of fun in the sun, swimming, music and dancing. Leaving from Panama City we will head out to Taboga Island where we will stop just in front of the bay for swimming, diving and rope swinging among our flotilla of floatie toys. Some will be able to relax and sunbathe on one of the Black Magic decks, some will prefer to read a book, while others will be able to enjoy the music on board while having one of our cocktails. Later, we will raise our anchors to start our return trip to the city where we will be arriving by sunset. This trip is fun and exciting for all types of passengers. We will have music and dancing on the main deck for those who are in the mood for a party atmosphere. But the pirate ship is big and the music will never be overpowering and families and older people will have plenty of pirate themed fun and water activities to keep everyone happy and entertained. This is simply the best way to experience Panama bay, Taboga Island and the beautiful waters of the Pacific while in the city.
