Catamaran Adventures: Voted One of the World’s Favorite Sailing Experiences — Tripadvisor 2025. A New Honor That Reflects Real Traveler Love
We’re proud to announce that Catamaran Adventures has once again been recognized by Tripadvisor—this time with the 2025 Travelers’ Choice Award!
After receiving the prestigious Best of the Best Award in 2024, this year’s accolade continues to affirm our commitment to delivering exceptional sailing experiences in the San Blas Islands of Panama.
Unlike traditional awards in the travel industry, the Travelers’ Choice Award is based entirely on authentic guest reviews and ratings, collected over the past 12 months. It’s a genuine mark of traveler satisfaction and consistency, placing us among the top 10% of listings worldwide.
We are honored to be included among travelers’ favorites once again—and we owe it all to you.
What Is the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award?
Since 2002, Tripadvisor has celebrated outstanding hospitality through its Travelers’ Choice program. These awards are entirely data-driven, relying on millions of reviews and opinions from real travelers around the world.
The Travelers’ Choice 2025 Award (Top 10%) recognizes businesses that receive consistently excellent feedback, showing a sustained commitment to quality and guest satisfaction. No entry fees. No paid promotions or fake, self-made reviews. Just the voice of real people.
2025 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Winners: What This Award Means for Us
Operating a catamaran charter in San Blas isn’t like doing it in a developed, easy-to-navigate destination. The remoteness of the archipelago, the lack of infrastructure, and our mission to respect and support the Guna Yala community add layers of challenge—and meaning—to our work.
That’s why this award means even more to us. It's not just about comfort and luxury; it's about delivering authentic, immersive, and unforgettable experiences in one of the best islands to sail in the Caribbean.
First and foremost, thank you to our amazing guests—those who sailed with us, shared their stories, and took the time to leave thoughtful reviews. Your trust and feedback are what made this possible.
And just as importantly, a heartfelt thank-you to our incredible crew. From navigating remote anchorages to preparing exceptional meals in wild settings, they’re the heart of every journey we offer. Their dedication, warmth, and professionalism are the reason so many guests leave with memories that last.
We also believe in being honest: we’re not perfect. In remote destinations like San Blas, unexpected issues can occasionally arise—weather, logistics, or local supply delays. But what sets us apart is our commitment to taking full responsibility, communicating transparently, and always finding a solution.
Just as importantly, we’re always listening. We take every thoughtful critique seriously, using it as an opportunity to improve and evolve. Feedback—especially when it’s honest and constructive—is one of the most valuable tools we have to refine our service and keep exceeding expectations.
We strive to offer you our very best—being responsive, authentic, and accountable. Your comfort, well-being, and satisfaction are always our top priority. We’re dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences that truly resonate. For travelers who value genuine service over polished sales talk, that truly makes all the difference.
What Makes Catamaran Adventures Stand Out
We specialize in private Caribbean catamaran charters in San Blas—tailored, intimate, and designed to connect our guests to nature, culture, and each other.
Here’s what sets us apart:
1.Transparency & Direct Communication
Add something about how your guests appreciate direct contact with you or your core team—no intermediaries, no sales agents, no impersonal booking engines.
“We don’t hide behind platforms or agencies. From the moment you reach out, you’ll communicate directly with someone who knows the boats, the crews, the region—and cares about your experience.”
2.Ethical Tourism & Cultural Respect
We’re committed not just to visiting San Blas—but to honoring it. We work in active collaboration with the Guna people, supporting their economy and protecting their land, culture, and voice.
3.Personalized Service from Start to Finish
From families to first-time sailors, every trip is tailored to your style. We handle it all—transfers, meals, itineraries—so you can relax. Plans shift? We adapt, with care and commitment to making your memories unforgettable.
4. Experienced, Passionate Crew
Our crew doesn’t just sail—they share the magic of San Blas. With deep knowledge of the islands and Guna culture, they help turn your trip into a story worth telling.
5. Premium Catamarans with A/C and More
Our fleet includes spacious, well-equipped catamarans with options like air conditioning, delicious meals adapted to your preferences, water toys, and comfy private cabins. Whether you choose a fully equipped Salina 48 or a sleek Lipari 41, you're guaranteed comfort and style.
6. Commitment to Sustainability & Community
We collaborate with the Guna people and support their local economy. We limit our impact through eco-friendly operations and have even created a foundation to give back to this land we love.
7. Unique, Off-the-Beaten-Path Itineraries
Explore the most secluded beaches, vibrant reefs, and Guna villages—far from the crowded tourist routes.
Travel Tip: We always recommend at least 5 nights to fully enjoy the rhythm of island life—but we can tailor your charter to any length.
From Our Guests – A 2025 Review Snapshot

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"This was my first experience with cruising/sailing on any type of ship, and I could not ask for a better time with friends.
Captain Rafio, Chef Veronica, and First Mate Alex were attentive, professional, and spectacular to ensure our experience and needs were met. Captain Rafio provided his expertise of the various islands, and which ones would meet the expectations of six individuals. His suggestions were spot on for each and every island. His knowledge of the local culture and people allowed for a flawless experience interacting with the Guna Yala as it was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Chef Veronica food preparation and presentation was not only in abundance, delicious and perfect, but she also made sure that we lack for nothing in food and drink. First Mate Alex was always present when needed for requests and assisted with all water toys in his calm and pleasant manner.
The total experience with the crew was flawless and all of us our grateful for the service."
