Weak Dollar? Skip Europe and Sail the Caribbean Where Your USD Goes Further

Why Pay More? Sail Panama’s San Blas Where the USD Still Holds Strong

The dollar is down, and prices in Europe are soaring. For American travelers who value their time and money, now is not the moment to head across the Atlantic. Sailing charters in Italy, Greece, or Croatia? All significantly more expensive today thanks to the weakened exchange rate.

But here’s the good news: your dollar still shines in Panama.

Sail smart—escape the Eurozone squeeze and let your dollar shine in San Blas.

Discover San Blas: The Caribbean’s Best-Kept Secret

Welcome to San Blas, the hidden gem of the Caribbean. A truly untouched paradise, far from tourist crowds and noisy marinas, where you can sail in total freedom on a private all-inclusive catamaran charter.

No planning—your captain and crew handle everything—no hotel hassles, no crowded anchorages and no devaluation of your dollar. Just you, your loved ones, and the freedom to explore paradise in total comfort.

Swim in the clearest waters of the Caribbean, snorkel vibrant coral reefs or sip your piña colada on the deck under a sky full of stars.

Every day, you’ll wake up to the soft sound of waves, coffee already brewed, and a question that never gets old: Which postcard-perfect island should we sail to next?

Why Panama Makes Sense Right Now

Panama uses the US dollar as official currency, right alongside the local Balboa (1:1), which means:

• No currency exchange headaches

• No hidden conversion fees

• And no surprises on your final bill

When it comes to your vacation, you want quality, ease, and value. And in today’s world of political shifts and unpredictable markets, that matters more than ever.

Instead of searching endlessly through sailing charter companies in the Mediterranean, why not opt for something more exclusive, easier to reach, and far more rewarding for your wallet? While others chase deals on a private boat charter in the Greek islands or research "luxury yacht charter BVI", you could already be island-hopping in San Blas—with none of the currency pitfalls.

Looking for a sailboat rental Caribbean experience that feels exclusive, pristine, and authentically wild? Or perhaps one of those dreamy catamaran cruises Caribbean travelers can’t stop talking about? San Blas is your answer.

A Few Insider Tips Before You Sail

Just a tip: Bring some cash with you. In San Blas, there are no banks, no ATMs, and no credit card machines. It’s what makes it magical. You won’t need much—there are no shops—but you’ll want a bit of cash to:

• Tip the amazing crew

• Pay the $20 per person Guna community tax

• Pay the $2 per person port tax (if choosing the land transfer)

• Enjoy a cold beer at a beach bar

• And maybe take home a hand-stitched mola—a vibrant textile artwork crafted by the Guna indigenous people, rich in tradition and meaning. You’ll even meet Prado, one of the region’s most skilled artisans, when you stop by his island in the Dutch Cays—a highlight on our 7+ night itineraries.

Explore hidden islands, meet the indigenous Guna people, and unwind on an all-inclusive catamaran charter—no crowds, no stress, just the luxury of simplicity in the most authentic, pristine paradise of the Caribbean.
