How's Food Onboard?

Luxury Dining, the San Blas Way

In San Blas, luxury isn't about opulence—it's about authenticity.

A crewed catamaran charter here is not just an escape to turquoise waters and hidden islands—it's a complete sensory immersion, and cuisine plays a central role in that experience.

Far from the polished marinas of the Mediterranean or the over-curated ports of French Polynesia, San Blas offers something rarer: a raw, untouched paradise where luxury means connection—connection to the sea, to the Guna culture, and to yourself. Here, every meal is thoughtfully prepared aboard your private catamaran using fresh-caught fish, tropical fruits, and ingredients often sourced directly from nearby Guna communities.

This isn’t imported luxury—it’s crafted simplicity, done exceptionally well.

Dining on board is intentionally personal, made to reflect not only your tastes but also the spirit of these islands. Every dish is a celebration of place—served with your feet in the sand, the breeze on your skin, and the wild beauty of San Blas all around you.

This is bespoke, barefoot luxury.

Here, true indulgence lies in the freshness, the flavors, and the experience of dining barefoot by the sea, under a sky full of stars. As part of the San Blas food experience, we honor the no-catch lobster season from March 1st to June 30th. Fortunately, this period also aligns with the peak season for bonito, snapper, and other local seafood delicacies that continue to delight our guests.
