Thanks for sharing. Do you pay in local currency or USD? How do you get enough cash? ATMs?

Good for you for figuring out how to do it yourself. However, the actual agent fee is not very much in the overall scheme of things, about US$350. IMO the convenience and added perks more than offset the fee.

The one thing that really concerned me about doing it ourselves was walking around Colon with a ton of cash since a sizeable deposit must be made into the TA bank account – in cash. And, Most ATMs do not put out as much as needed, meaning more than one or two ATMs needs to be visited. Colon is dangerous -there are signs at Shelter Bay warning cruisers about Colon.

While we were there a cruiser who was doing the fees himself was robbed at knifepoint at the ATM getting the fees together.

Nice video and thanks for sharing. Is there any reason you did not mention the fees you paid? It would be interesting to find out the cost of transit for a 39' sailboat, including the fenders and lines.
