All inclusive catamaran sailing vacations throughout the more than 365 islands of San Blas are by far the best vacations for small groups and families seeking a memorable experience.
Cold winters in Europe, the USA, and much of the Western world stretch on for far too many months. Rain and gloomy weather have become a regular part of life, and like many others, we find ourselves immersed in daily routines—rushing from one place to another, chasing a rare ray of sunshine.
For the optimistic few, the ongoing search for light and the dream of a rebirth of urban life are what preserve their sanity and keep their aspirations alive. Yet, limitations on movement, heightened security measures, and other government-imposed restrictions that have lasted for months continue to weigh heavily on our well-being.
What better way to release this tension and reset than by escaping to a truly relaxing destination—far from routine, and into a paradise unlike anything else: a place where nature leads the way?

We have the perfect solution for you: discover a crewed catamaran vacation in the Caribbean. San Blas, Panama offers a family-friendly destination and a skippered sailing holiday like no other.
Why choose sailing in Panama instead of a typical sailing vacation package, like a BVI charter?
If you’re looking to escape routine, experience a drastic change of scenery, and immerse yourself fully in nature, you need to consider remote destinations—places where human development has been limited or carefully controlled.
Due to rising demand for island vacations, most Caribbean islands with international airports and good infrastructure—especially those closer to the US—have experienced rapid tourism development. This has led to a surge in hotel and resort construction.
But with development often comes the destruction of natural beauty. Once-empty islands have become crowded, losing their charm to mass tourism—driven, for example, by the cruise industry. Land is sold to resorts, and paradise slowly disappears. San Blas is different. Unlike those on Panama’s Pacific coast (such as the Pearl Islands), the San Blas Islands cannot be sold to foreigners. By Guna law, they will always remain in the hands of the Guna Yala families. Since foreign hotels and large tourism agencies can’t buy land here, large-scale development is effectively prevented.
Sure, it’s nice to have a beach bar nearby, a freshwater shower when you want it, some fresh food, and a few water toys to enjoy. But it’s not so nice to deal with crowded beaches, loud music, jet skis buzzing around, and a polluted sea—outcomes of unchecked tourism and a growing disconnection from nature.
San Blas offers the perfect balance—trust us.Your basic comforts are taken care of, but you’ll be surrounded by untouched, pristine nature, sailing among more than 365 stunning islands aboard an amazing catamaran.

Choose the destination for your next sailing vacation wisely. We offer private crewed sailing charters and shared sailing charters, as well as flotilla holidays if you’d like to travel with a group. Whatever your style, we have an option for you.
