Top Reasons to Choose Catamaran Adventures for Your San Blas Charter
Dreaming of turquoise waters, secluded beaches, and a truly authentic sailing experience? While there are plenty of options out there—brokers, booking platforms, and shared boats—only one company is deeply rooted in the San Blas Islands, operating its own fleet with permanent crews year-round for over a decade: Catamaran Adventures San Blas.
Here's Why Savvy Travelers Choose Catamaran Adventures San Blas
1. Deep Roots in San Blas
We’re a fully licensed Panamanian company based right in the Guna Yala region, operating here since 2012. Our team, crews, and boats live and work locally year-round, which means we know the islands inside out. Unlike brokers selling charters from abroad, we manage every aspect locally and are available 24/7 to assist guests — from logistics to provisioning and emergency support. And if a catamaran ever has a technical issue, unlike sole operators in San Blas, we have backup vessels ready, so your adventure goes smoothly without a hitch.
2. Curated Routes for Every Traveler
Every charter is tailored to your style and pace, offering access to the most secluded and pristine bays in San Blas, far from the crowds. Explore hidden lagoons, untouched beaches, and private anchorages designed for ultimate relaxation and adventure.
We’ve created three signature itineraries:
Family & Safe Beaches Route: calm waters, beach picnics, and kid-friendly activities.
Reefs & Sandbars Route: crystal-clear lagoons and top snorkeling spots.
Cultural Immersion Route: visits to Guna villages, fresh lobster nights, and local encounters.
You can always mix routes or customize your own; flexibility is part of our service.
3. Private, All-Inclusive Catamarans
Your charter is fully private—no strangers on board. Sail aboard our spacious, modern, and comfortable catamarans, designed for relaxation, adventure, and effortless enjoyment. Catamarans offer unmatched stability and twice the space—making them the perfect platform to explore the 365 paradise islands of the San Blas archipelago.
Our all-inclusive catamaran charters include a professional captain and chef, all meals and drinks, and an array of water toys at no extra charge—all paired with personalized service so you can relax and enjoy every moment without worry. The exact selection and quantity of toys may vary depending on the yacht, but our catamarans typically include: paddleboards, kayaks, transparent kayaks, electric sea scooters, and the new electric sea kickboards. Additionally, enjoy an open bar, air-conditioning, and Starlink internet on select premium catamarans, offering the ideal blend of comfort, connectivity, and adventure as you explore the islands of San Blas.
All our catamarans are modern, CE-certified vessels, navigated by experienced professional crews dedicated to ensuring an exceptional and worry-free sailing experience throughout your journey.
4. Safe and Family-Friendly
Many of our guests are families, also seniors and first-time sailors. We focus on calm anchorages, gentle waters, and safe swimming areas, with professional crews trained to make everyone feel comfortable and confident on board. Each boat carries comprehensive safety gear and a first-aid kit so you can relax knowing you’re in good hands.
