New Marina

Big news for our past and future guests: we are starting the construction of Crocodile Bay Marina in early 2023. The first phase of Crocodile Bay Marina will have 140 slips for vessels ranging up to 300 feet in length. The marina will feature fuel and ship chandler services as well as laundry, storage and a grocery store.

The marina is carefully planned and designed to respect the surrounding nature and wildlife.  Amenities include a forthcoming yacht club and overwater restaurant and seaside village with restaurants.

The same family who has owned and operated Crocodile Bay Resort for the past two decades are launching the Crocodile Bay Marina project, taking the next step towards becoming the best fishing destination in Central & South America. The new Crocodile Bay Marina will be home to our world-famous Crocodile Bay fishing fleet as well welcoming visiting vessels arriving and departing through the Panama Canal and throughout the Pacific.
