Central America: soggiorni in barche

We enjoyed an amazing 3 day cruise with affable Peter and his first mate Jen. Unforgettable locations, stunning underwater scenery and excellent food. A trip we won’t forget.

“We could not have asked for a better experience in San Blas with Pablo and Silvia onboard on Sea Level. San Blas is a nature world marvelous with hundreds of virgin islands that will make you feel in Heaven. Pablo and Silvia are fantastic hosts, very friendly, knowledgeable of the region and get along well with the Kunas and the other sailors. Silvia’s food is delicious and she cooks a custom menu for the guests tastes. They will make you feel at home. Sea Level is a new, clean, comfortable and smooth boat. It went down as probably one of the best trips we’ve made.

Excelente y única experiencia! Eileen y John fueron anfitriones excepcionales. Siempre muy buena comunicación y también nos organizaron el transporte. La estadía al barco fue lindísimo. Navegamos a vela en el paraíso con buena comida y stops en bonitas islas aisladas con agua turquesa. John es un capitán con mucha experiencia y Eileen nos mimó con rica comida y snacks. Muy recomendable! :) Si decidiera volver, me gustaría pasar más tiempo con ellos haciendo velero.

Incredible host, took our family of 6 with kids ages C 8,12,15,17. Incredible food, incredible location and yes it’s a process to get there but worth it. Nano arranged everything and went smooth! Do it! You will not regret it. 6 islands in 3 days. Best trip ever and Camila is so nice with the kids. My kids are already telling us they want to go back!!!

We had an incredible time in the San Blas with Pete. The islands are absolutely gorgeous and undeveloped with great snorkeling, lovely beaches and a fascinating indigenous population. Pete has spent years sailing the islands and knew them extremely well. We several different islands a day, most much further out than the day trip boats travel. The meals were tasty and healthy with lots of fresh fruit and seafood. The boat had lots of room to spread out on and Pete and crew made us feel at home. It was a truly unique experience!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the sailboat. It was a peaceful and relaxing time sleeping in the marina. The boat is perfect for one person. The marina has all the amenities, hot showers, laundry, and a grocery market is walkable. Maria kindly met me in Bocas Town and took me to the marina. She provided keys and clear instructions. Isla Canarero is more quiet and tranquil than Bocas Town. The island trail walk was great. Great restaurants in Boca Town only $1 water taxi ride. Everyone at the marina was friendly. It’s a great time to unplug as the WiFi is spotty and intermittent. Take a good book and chill. Thanks!

Honnêtement mira est extraordinaire !!! Lors de notre arrivée nous avons été très bien accueillis.

En bref ..allez y vous ne serait pas déçu.. Merci mira pour ta joie de vie et ton énergie. Nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable.

We had the best time at Boris’ Catamaran. He is the best host and took care of every little detail and made sure that we are always enjoying our time. The boat is spacious and very pretty and the food is great. The islands are incredible and Boris made sure we saw as many islands as possible and that we had enough time to enjoy each of them. We are already planning our next trip!!

My family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) spent a week with Karsten in San Blas for my wife's birthday.  Karsten was a great host - He gave us options and helped us to plan each day on what we could do or what islands we could explore.  He was easy going and nice to be around (an important consideration if you're spending a week in tight quarters with someone you don't know yet!) He helped me to plan my wife's birthday by coming up with a dessert plan of homemade ice cream and fresh fruit (since cake is scarce in San blas). He was very good with our kids.  His cooking was really good!  I enjoyed trying new things each night. He had a positive, upbeat and service minded attitude, he made us coffee each morning (and even in the afternoons).  He encouraged us to relax even when we wanted to help out with dishes or clean up - he made sure we enjoyed our short time in a beautiful place. Highly recommend seeing San Blas with Karsten- you won’t be disappointed!

Vivemos a experiência de ficar 3 dias com Federico e Anita em seu veleiro. Eles foram muito atenciosos e prestativos durante todo o tempo. As refeições foram maravilhosas, sempre realizadas com carinho e uma experiência que nos levava a Itália. Todas as ilhas e atividades que fizemos foram muito bem orientadas. Eles são pessoas muito amaveis e prestativos, com uma proposta de fazer nos sentir em casa. Tivemos momentos excelentes em nossa estadia e um dia esperamos voltar para rever os novos amigos. Recomendamos 100% Priscila e Ronaldo.

I would give more stars, if allowed. It was an amazing trip w/a fun, engaging and entertaining couple who have lived on boats most their lives and called San Blas aboard Blue Sky 'home' for the past 16 years. Their knowledge of the area, indigenous people, and all things safety related while underway gave way to peace of mind. Attentive as ever whether it was mealtime, snorkeling assistance, evening entertainer and/or bartender! I can't recommend sailing w/them enough and only wish we extended our stay longer! Glad to think of them as our new 'friends', and if we have the ability to sail w/them in the future, I will uphold my Mexican Train (Dominos) Titleship! Thanks for EVERYTHING Breeze & Debbie! Best, Kym and Mike

This was an amazing experience. Adrian is a very knowledgeable boat captain who navigated us throughout the beautiful San Blas Islands. Special thank you to Mer and Katie who helped us feel welcome during our stay by cooking delicious food and making sure we had everything we needed. Maybe we can come see you when you are on the Pacific side!

Toni is great and the San Blas islands are beautiful! A wonderful host and a truly unique and special place. The boat is not quite as described, I think all the "What this place offers" is checked off...there is obviously no washer/dryer on the boat, no indoor fireplace, no firepit, pool, or hot tub (though the water's great!), etc. That all being said, set your expectations, and appreciate the genuinely special place you're in, and you'll have a fantastic time. Snorkeling, swimming, watching the stars at night, eating a local Guna-style meal, all of this is the stuff of adventures. I'd stay on Toni's boat again in a heartbeat, but I might bring an extra towel and pillow. Thanks for a great time Toni!

Fue un verdadero placer pasar nuestras vacaciones en el Renaissance con el Capitán Morgan y su maravillosa familia!! Hemos pasado unos días maravillosos, gracias por mostrarnos la belleza de Guna Yala. Cada día conociendo diferentes islas, todas de ensueño, definitivamente un paraíso total! Gracias a Petra también por engreírnos cada día con sus deliciosas comidas y postres. Cada día nos sorprendía con algo diferente y excelente, mis hijos se quedaron fascinados. En cuanto al bote, es muy amplio, lindo y cómodo. Definitivamente volveremos! Muchísimas gracias

Wir waren drei Nächte mit Nicolas auf seinem Boot und es war eine wunderbare Erfahrung für uns. Wir waren an einsamen Inseln und wunderschönen Stränden, geschnorchelt und haben Lagerfeuer unter dem Sternenhimmel gemacht. Es wurde zwei mal am Tag warm für uns gekocht und Nikolas war super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir konnten richtig gut entspannen! Einzig allein die An- und Abreise ist etwas zeit- und nervenintensiv, daher unbedingt mindestens drei Tage bleiben!

We hadden een heel fijn verblijf aan boord. Heerlijk genieten in de hangmat, gezeild, veel gezwommen, gesnorkeld en lekker gegeten.

Our stay aboard at Jaco and Christelle’s sailboat in San Blas was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by them and their two adorable dogs, Coco and Canela. Jaco is a great captain who knows the best snorkeling spots, taking us to stunning reefs with crystal clear water and abundant marine life. Every day was an adventure, from exploring secluded islands to swimming with colourful fish. Christelle is an incredible cook—every meal she prepared was so fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. We loved the rum tastings too. Dining under the stars on the deck was an experience we’ll never forget. The boat itself was very comfortable, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Thank you Jaco and Christelle for making our trip so special!
