Panama — San Blas Islands Sailing Catamaran Charter

Transfer from Panama City Hotel to Albrook Terminal by Taxi

Private Plane Flight from Panama City to Corazón de Jesús

Dinghy Transfer and Catamaran Boarding at Corazón de Jesús

The captain greets you at the airstrip and escorts you by dinghy — about two minutes — to the catamaran anchored in clear Caribbean water. Once aboard, the crew provides a briefing on the itinerary, safety at sea, and the daily rhythm. Guests settle into private double cabins.

Sail to Coco Blanco and Green Island — First Swim and Snorkel

After boarding, the catamaran sails about 45 minutes to Coco Blanco and Green Island. Walk through coconut plantations on Coco Blanco, meet a few local residents, and take a first swim in clear, shallow water. A relaxed, light snorkelling session on the reef. First overnight at Green Island.

Sail to Cambombia — Lobster Lunch, Beach Volleyball and Nubesidub

Sail about 45 minutes from Green Island to Cambombia, in the Western Hollandes. The onboard chef prepares fresh lobster bought from local Guna fishermen. When conditions allow, the catamaran's stern is tied to a palm tree and guests step directly onto the beach. Beach volleyball on the sand. Afternoon stop at Nubesidub, a hidden cay.

Cambombia Paddleboarding, Kayaking and Reef Snorkelling

Paddleboarding and kayaking in calm, clear water between Cambombia and Nubesidub. Healthy coral reefs close to shore with parrotfish, angelfish and surgeonfish moving through the shallows. Warm water and good visibility from the paddleboards. Overnight at Cambombia.

Sail to Coco Bandero Cays — Sunken Ship Snorkel

Sail about an hour to the Coco Bandero Cays, three small islands in the outer reaches of the archipelago. The outer reef rises within 100 feet of the main island. Snorkel to a hidden sunken ship — its rusted hull now encrusted with corals and patrolled by schools of reef fish.

Nurse Shark Swim and Beach Picnic at Coco Bandero

Swim with resident nurse sharks in the shallow water of Coco Bandero — calm, unhurried animals that glide between coral heads. A beach picnic on the white-sand shore: fresh food, cold drinks, the boat anchored in the turquoise lagoon. Overnight at Coco Bandero.

Sail to Dutch Cays — BBQ Island, Restaurant Ibin and The Pool

The longest sail — an hour and a half to the outermost Dutch Cays. Stop at Restaurant Ibin, a simple open-air place on the water, for fresh seafood. Visit The Pool, a natural saltwater lagoon enclosed by a 360-degree reef: calm, impossibly clear, protected on all sides by living coral.

Dutch Cays — Whale Bones, Mangrove Snorkelling and Guna Encounters

Walk the shores of the Dutch Cays among bleached whale bones washed up by Caribbean storms. Snorkel through mangroves where juvenile fish shelter. Meet Guna community members informally. Kayaking and paddleboarding in the calm water of The Pool area. Overnight at The Pool.

Sail to Bapurgana — Outer Reef and Mid-Sea Coral Pinnacle Snorkelling

Sail about 1.5 hours to Bapurgana, an uninhabited island with white sand and two reefs. Snorkel the pristine outer reef, then take the dinghy to a coral pinnacle rising from deep water in the middle of the sea — an isolated reef surrounded by open Caribbean blue.

Bapurgana Kayaking, Paddleboarding and Final Piña Colada Toast

The last afternoon on the water. Kayaking and paddleboarding around Bapurgana's white-sand shoreline, the two reefs visible below. The crew prepares piña coladas on board — a toast to the final day. Late-afternoon sail to Flores for the last overnight anchorage.

Overnight at Flores and Morning Dinghy to Corazón de Jesús Airstrip

Final night on board at Flores, a calm island 15 minutes from the airstrip. Last dinner on deck — fresh seafood under the stars. In the morning the captain takes guests by dinghy to Corazón de Jesús airstrip for the return flight.
