DESTINATION
San Blas sailing takes place in the indigenous comarca of Guna Yala on Panama’s Caribbean coast. It is not near Panama City on the Pacific side.
Why Explore Guna Yala by Sailboat.
A yacht gives you mobility and access to quieter anchorages that land-based stays simply cannot reach.
Reef Mobility
Navigate between secluded reef-protected anchorages in the Holandes and Coco Bandero Cays, escaping the crowded tourist spots.
Trade Wind
Leverage the consistent northeast trade winds (Dec-April) for authentic blue-water sailing between the 365 islands of Guna Yala.
Liveaboard Life
Experience luxury liveaboard life on a modern catamaran with private cabins, gourmet dining, and direct access to world-class snorkeling.
Hurricane Safe
San Blas lies safely south of the Atlantic hurricane belt, making it a premier year-round destination for safe Caribbean yacht charters.

Explore Your Way:
Private
or Shared
?
Choose your Sailing Charter experience: private boat or shared adventure. Two unique ways to explore the San Blas Archipelago.
- The Elite Sanctuary
Rent the entire boat for your inner circle. Includes a private captain, chef, and a completely bespoke itinerary tailored to your group’s rhythm.
- The Social Odyssey
Book a private cabin on a shared boat. All-inclusive luxury at a fraction of the cost. Meet international travelers while hopping across 365 islands.
Sailing vs
Overwater Huts.
Choosing how to experience the San Blas Islands comes down to mobility and comfort. Overwater huts keep you on one island, while a sailing charter allows you to island-hop through the remote corners of the San Blas Archipelago.
Overwater Huts
- Fixed in one place, no mobility
- Very simple facilities, shared bathrooms, and no A/C
- Basic fixed menu (typically fish & rice)
Sailing (Liveaboard)
- Move daily between islands and coral reefs
- Air-conditioned cabins and en-suite bathrooms
- includes chef-prepared meals and all-inclusive bar.
