Elevated three meters above the waves, morning video calls take on new meaning when marine life swims past your window and dolphins surface just beyond your private balcony.
Ocean Builders has created something unprecedented: a fully autonomous floating residence that delivers sophisticated luxury while transforming ocean interaction from occasional yacht excursions into integrated lifestyle immersion. Here, marine life becomes part of your daily environment, creating authentic encounters that traditional accommodations cannot provide.
“Giving people an amazing experience of what living in a floating home is like is the best way of growing and expanding our vision globally,” explains Ocean Builders CEO Grant Romundt. “The steps we are taking here in Panama will be the basis for the future expansion of floating resorts in other parts of the world.”
This Panama prototype serves as the operational foundation for Ocean Builders’ expansion into premium destinations including the Maldives, where floating community concepts will scale globally.
Why Panama Became Our Proving Ground
Panama’s strategic advantages created optimal conditions for demonstrating floating home innovation. The country’s USD-based economy eliminated currency complexity for international evaluation, while established maritime infrastructure developed through canal operations provided regulatory clarity unavailable in most tropical destinations.
Located just 1.5 hours from Panama City near the fishing village of Puerto Lindo, the SeaPod floats where the Caribbean meets rich marine biodiversity. The surrounding coast remains authentically underdeveloped and free from mass tourism, ensuring both exclusivity and privacy that mainstream destinations can no longer provide.
This protected environment showcases how floating homes enhance rather than disrupt ocean ecosystems, critical validation for sophisticated individuals seeking luxury experiences that align with environmental consciousness.

The SeaPod Experience: Ocean Living Redefined
Travel writer Terry Ward from Condé Nast Traveler, among the first to experience the SeaPod, observed: “The SeaPod is completely unlike the traditional thatched roof overwater bungalows I’ve visited elsewhere… unlike typical bungalows that rest permanently atop pillars, it floats on the water’s surface.”
This floating capability creates dynamic interaction with marine environments that adapts to natural rhythms rather than fighting them. Begin your day with sunrise streaming through expansive windows while conducting international business calls with the Caribbean as your backdrop. Transform afternoon strategy sessions into floating boardroom experiences where the ocean itself becomes part of your executive environment. Conclude with evening privacy that no resort can replicate. Complete seclusion on open waters.
The SeaPod operates through solar energy generation and water purification systems that eliminate dependence on shore-based infrastructure while maintaining luxury accommodation standards that sophisticated individuals expect.
Your Ocean Evaluation Experience
Protected Marine Sanctuary: The SeaPod’s positioning creates a private marine preserve where diverse marine life thrives around the artificial habitat created by the floating home’s underwater architecture.
Seamless Transition Experience: Your preview begins at Linton Bay Marina, where you’ll board a local boat for the transfer that becomes integral to the evaluation. The journey from urban Panama City to remote floating residence emphasizes the transition from land-based routine to ocean-integrated living.
Cultural Access: Historic Portobelo National Park lies within 20 minutes, offering both UNESCO World Heritage significance and protected marine exploration opportunities for those seeking comprehensive regional exploration alongside their floating experience.
Why Ocean Living Appeals Now
Three global trends drive sophisticated individuals toward ocean-based living: coastal real estate climate vulnerability, increasing demand for location independence, and sustainable luxury evolution among environmentally conscious ultra-high-net-worth families.
Traditional Caribbean coastal properties face rising insurance costs and climate challenges, while discerning individuals seek resilient alternatives that maintain luxury standards without environmental compromise. The SeaPod demonstrates how floating architecture can deliver premium experiences while contributing to marine ecosystem health.
Current timing offers exclusive preview access to ocean living evaluation before floating communities transition from prototype to global reality across multiple international markets.
