A PanaMax is the dimensions of the biggest boats that are allowed to use the Panama Canal.
Panamax refers to the maximum dimensions of a ship that can pass through the original Panama Canal, which are approximately 965 feet in length and 106 feet in width. Post-Panamax ships exceed these dimensions, often requiring the larger locks of the expanded Panama Canal, completed in 2016. This expansion allows for the passage of vessels that are significantly larger, accommodating increased cargo capacity and larger global shipping demands.

Yes, they do it all the time. In fact the sailors celebrate the passing through the canal.
The straightforward description is "Panamax" (from Panama maximum).In 2014, a third set of larger locks will allow the passage of larger vessels, which are dubbed "New Panamax." The new locks will be about 50% wider, 20% longer, and 20% deeper than the current locks.

The Panama Canal authority has set certain size limitations for vessels allowed to use the canal. The maximum dimensions are 955 ft length, 106 ft width, 39.5 ft draft (freshwater), and 109 ft height above waterline. Any ships larger than this must apply for prior permission which they will probably not get."Panamax" vessels are ships designed with the Panama canal specifically in mind. These ships are built to the maximum allowable size for the Panama canal and are the largest ships to regularly pass through the canal.The longest ship to ever use the canal was the San Juan Prospector, a 973 foot long oil tanker.The widest ships to ever use the canal were the USS North Carolina and the USS Washington which are just over 108 feet wide.The Panama canal is currently undergoing an expansion, due to be finished in 2014. This expansion will allow the canal to handle much larger ships.
