If you're looking for property in Panama, Discover Vista Mar. I recently visited Fuerte Amador Resort & Marina. The Marina is an ultra-modern facility that is located at the end of the Causeway in Panama City.

The Marina is located just 50 minutes by boat from the Vista Mar Resort and has modern shopping and restaurant facilities. During the late afternoon boats pull into one of the 50 to 60 slips that have been constructed at the Marina; people exit their boats, eat at one of the several excellent restaurants nearby or shop at some of the new retail shops that have opened or spend the night in one of the many nightclubs. In the next year or two there will be at least two hotels built near the Marina.

The atmosphere at the Marina and surrounding shops is relaxed and there is a nice mix of Panamanians, Americans and Europeans. At night, people walk among the shops and window shop.

There are a number of small bars where you can get a drink and something to eat:

The yachts I saw in the Marina are huge, say 60 to 100 feet long - and longer - with every possible modern convenience onboard. A lot of powerful people from Mick Jagger to Greg Norman to American oil tycoons keep their boats docked at the Marina.

I was told a lot of people that have their yachts docked in the Marina use their yachts as a place to hold business meetings: some take the boat offshore a mile or two and conduct business.

Others take their yachts out and head off to the Pearl Islands to fish or to Coiba Island to enjoy some privacy and a little slice of paradise. 

The night I went to the Marina to eat dinner there was a large cruise ship that had just pulled into the Marina: the Marina is the “Home port” for the Universe Explorer cruise ship. People from all over the world disembarked from the cruise ship and enjoyed their night at the Marina.

The Marina has a great view of Panama City and the Bridge of Americas, the Bridge that connects North and South America. The thing I most enjoy about visiting the Marina is the strong sultry, warm Pacific breezes that blow through the open restaurants and shops; that breeze seems to relax people and watching them window shop in the bright lights of the storefronts in the breezy, warm night is fun. Other nearby places to see and visit are the beautiful Island of Taboga – the Island of 

Part owners of the Fuerte Amador Resort & Marina are also owners of Vista Mar Resort. Their idea is that people will use the Marina as a point of departure for their Vista Mar home. 

Over the next year or two Vista Mar will have its own Marina on the Pacific Coast near Vista Mar, so traveling by boat to Vista Mar will be a logical way to stay out of the traffic and arrive to your new home, relaxed and not worn out by a long car trip: sounds like a great plan.
