Boca Chica Marina came about through
discussions with cruising sailors who arrived a Careening Cay Marina in
Bocas del Toro. Many of them came from US and Canadian west coast
ports and had visited the western Pacific coast of Panama before
transiting the canal. Their comments inevitably concerned the lack
of adequate facilities in this particular area.
I spent one year exploring the western
Pacific coast of Panama for suitable sites, from Punta Barrica to Las
Lajas beach. Only one location met the criteria of location,
infrastructure, security and proximity to an important city (David).
It was considered remote back then, but I was planning for the future.
The location, which on the Island of Boca
Brava, is in the heart of first-class sports fishing territory. It
also offered access to an international airport, transportation services
, quality provisioning, major mechanical repair shops and other
important services. So, I purchased the property and began the
lengthy process of planning and permitting.
We have big things in store for Marina
Boca Chica. Among the activities planned are:
Half and whole day sports fishing charters
Whale watching tours (Oct - Nov)
Diving charters
Island tours
Kayak rentals
Crewed and bareboat sailboat charters
Luxury accommodations
It has been 5 years since the search
began. Now, with the beginning of construction the dream is
becoming a reality.
Please feel free visit this web page for
up-to-date photos of the construction and fishing news from the area.
and don't forget to come by for a visit and to see what is growing on
the site.
