PANAMA TO FLORIDA
CARIBBEAN POSSE NORTH BOUND ROUTE1500 nm
THE CARIBBEAN ROUTE
PANAMA CANAL – FLORIDA
There are over 400+ anchoragesย and 18+marinas along the Western Caribbean Basinย Coast. And this season we will collect and verify the Caribbean route’s anchorages. Our mission is to verify all these points.
This route is designed to for vessels heading from Panama or Colombia towards the US with interim stops in Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Roatan Honduras, a possible seasonal layover in the hurricane hole of Rio Dulce in Guatemala. Continuing on Northbound via the second largest reef in world off the coat of Belize, hugging the Yucatan Peninsula, Isla Mujeres Mexico and Cancun. With an optional stop over in Cuba ending up in the Florida Keys.
The Caribbean route from Panama northbound has some distinct weather challenges -and on the Western Route Security challenges – but several vessels in the past have successfully navigated these waters and made safe passages. Vessel soften split up the season by summering over in Rio Dulce as long as their draft is 6 foot or less.

CARIBBEAN PILOT CHARTS
Pilot Charts depict averages in prevailing winds and currents, air and sea temperatures, wave heights, visibility, barometric pressure, and weather conditions at different times of the year. The information used to compile these averages was obtained from oceanographic and meteorologic observations over many decades during the late 18th and 19th centuries.
The charts are intended to aid the navigator in selecting the fastest and safest routes with regards to the expected weather and ocean conditions. The charts are not intended to be used for navigation.
