Four regions of Panama, one philosophy, reach the places most travelers never do.

Is San Blas safe?

Yes. Guna Yala is a peaceful, autonomous indigenous territory and we sail sheltered anchorages between the cays. What matters is who you sail with: Nomad Sailors is licensed by the Panama Maritime Authority and the Guna Yala Congress, carries full liability and hull insurance, and every trip is led by a licensed captain with over a decade in these waters.

What's included in an all-inclusive charter?

Everything you need on board: your private captain and chef, three meals a day plus snacks, standard bar drinks (wine, beer, rum), fuel, water and all onboard gear such as snorkel equipment, paddleboards and kayaks. Not included, by Guna law: the Guna Yala entrance fee (about 20 USD per person) and port fees, paid in cash on the way in. Transfers from Panama City can be added as a package.

Private vs shared — what's the difference?

On a private charter the whole catamaran is yours: your group, your route, a menu built around you and a pace you set with the captain. On a shared (cabin) charter you book one cabin and share the boat, a fixed itinerary and the common spaces with other travelers. Shared costs less and suits solo travelers; couples, families and groups almost always choose private. Ask us and we will check availability for either.

How do I get to San Blas?

There is no airport in the islands, so every trip starts in Panama City. The classic way is a private 4x4 transfer that picks you up at your hotel around 5 AM, drives 2.5 hours through the jungle and connects with a 30-minute water taxi to the boat. The faster option is a 45-minute private flight to the San Blas airstrip, where our team meets you. We arrange either one for you.

Can we request revisions?

Yes. On a private charter the route is decided with your captain day by day, so you can stay longer at an island you love or ask for a new snorkel spot. Dates and boat can be adjusted before the trip depending on availability. And if a boat ever has a technical problem, you choose between an equivalent boat, new dates or a full refund.
