Plan your adventure Weddings & private events
Celebrate on the water with a private boat from Vista Mar Marina on Panama's Pacific Coast. Strong Tower Adventures plans wedding-weekend welcome cruises, sunset sails for the couple and wedding party, proposals, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette days, and family reunions, always aboard a boat reserved for your group only.
Start from a listed trip or ask for a custom package. We work directly with your wedding planner or event coordinator so the boat fits your weekend timeline.
Every event is private. These are the occasions guests ask us about most; if yours isn't here, tell us about it.
Gather your guests the evening before the wedding for a relaxed sunset welcome, or slip away with the couple and wedding party the day after. Oasis takes up to 10 guests, with shade, a private enclosed restroom and a premium sound system for your playlist; add a charcuterie platter or pizza from the marina.
Good fit: Sunset Cruise
Plan the question for golden hour on the open Pacific. Tell us your idea ahead of time and we'll help with the timing, the setting and keeping it a surprise.
Good fit: Sunset Cruise
Say your vows on the water: weddings and vow renewals can take place on board with your own officiant, followed by a toast at sunset and photos on the water. Bring your own photographer too if you like. We don't arrange legal marriage formalities; we plan the boat, route and timing around your ceremony.
Good fit: Sunset Cruise · Pearl Islands Expedition
Mark the year with a sunset cruise, or make it a full island day at Otoque or Taborcillo with the people you love. Tell us what you're celebrating so we can tailor the day.
Good fit: Sunset Cruise · Otoque Island · Taborcillo Island
Swap the club for open water: island time at Farallón or Taborcillo, tubing close to the marina and your music on board. The Captain sets the pace for safety and conditions.
Good fit: Farallón Island · Taborcillo Island · Vista Mar Tubing Adventure
Give visiting family a day to remember between events: snorkeling at Farallón, a full day at Otoque or a beach day at Taborcillo. For a larger group, both boats can run together for up to 18 guests.

Whether you're planning yourself or working with a planner, the steps are the same.
Send the date, the occasion, roughly how many guests and where the boat fits in your timeline. Planners can contact us directly.
We recommend a route, a boat (or both boats together, for up to 18 guests) and add-ons, and put it together as a custom package with a quote.
We work through arrival at the marina, timing, guest numbers and anything coming aboard, such as decorations, a cake or a photographer, with you or your planner.
Your event is confirmed once our team confirms it with you. On the day, the Captain makes the final call on route and timing based on weather and sea conditions.
Oasis takes up to 10 guests and Iron Covenant up to 6 adults, or up to 8 guests when children are included. For a larger group, both boats can run together for up to 18 guests, for any kind of event. Tell us about your group, route and date and we will plan the day around it.
Yes. We work directly with wedding planners and event coordinators on timing, guest numbers, arrival at Vista Mar Marina and what comes aboard. Share their contact when you message us.
Yes. It's your private event, so bring whatever makes the day yours: decorations, a cake, food, drinks and more. It's a boat, though, so some things take a little more planning, like large or fragile setups, loose decorations, confetti or balloons that can blow away, and anything that stains. Tell us ahead of time and we'll plan around it. You're welcome to bring your own photographer; they take a paid seat and count toward your guest total.
Yes. Weddings and vow renewals can take place on board; you bring your own officiant. We don't arrange legal marriage formalities, so handle those with your officiant or planner, and we'll plan the boat, route and timing around your ceremony.
Safety comes first. The Captain may adjust, delay, reschedule or cancel a route when weather or sea conditions require it, and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. For events with fixed timing, we talk through the options with you or your planner when we put the package together.
Deposit and payment details are confirmed with your custom quote. Every reservation is confirmed personally by our team; sending a request does not confirm it.
Yes. We plan in English and Spanish, by WhatsApp or through your planner.
