General information about your trip to San Blas

PREPARING YOUR TRIP ​

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure! Before our departure, it is essential to make sure we have all the necessary items for the next trip.

What to pack?  The sailboat is a small space, with everything you need. It is not recommended to bring suitcases with wheels on board. Pack your luggage in carry-on suitcases or sports bags for better organization.  We recommend packing: Swimsuits, beach towels, sunscreen, waterproof camera, waterproof covers for electronic equipment, organic mosquito repellent, although on most islands there are no mosquitoes, light sandals, personal hygiene products, books, chargers , prescription medications and motion sickness pills and most importantly your passport or ID.

• Electricity: Sailboats generate energy through solar panels, wind and generators. Taking care of the energy inside a boat is very common. During a sunny day it is possible to make open use of energy, when night falls, depending on each vessel, the engine or generator can be turned on for a few minutes to ensure sufficient energy during the night. Make sure you take care of your energy use on board.

Showers are usually one per day and you should make sure to remove salt water every time you enter the interior of the sailboat to avoid salification.

In addition to sharing important personal and collective security information.
