A lot to remember.

A wilder kind of boat trip.
Kosher dining worth flying for.
Our chefs prepare every meal on-site with the same attention you'd find at the world's best kosher restaurants: fresh, seasonal, and rooted in both Latin and traditional flavors. From lavish breakfasts to candlelit Shabbat dinners and a beachside BBQ that becomes the trip's most-talked-about meal. Every meal is included — and if you'd like a night out, Panama City has one of the best kosher restaurant scenes anywhere, and we're happy to help you with reservations.
"My family's said the food alone was worth the trip, and that's before you factor in everything else."
