The decision not to offer bareboat charters in the San Blas Islands is based on the unique and challenging nature of this destination. In these waters, where more than 365 islands and cays dot the landscape, boating without a crew carries significant risks. The region lacks developed infrastructure and human presence is limited to just 49 islands inhabited by the Kuna tribe. This isolation means boaters would be completely alone and exposed to changing weather conditions, with no immediate access to assistance in case of emergency.
The marine environment of the San Blas presents additional challenges, such as shallow waters, coral reefs and sandbars that require expert knowledge to navigate safely. The lack of supplies and services available on the islands means that any mechanical breakdown could result in significant complications, with little to no options for quick repairs.
Therefore, to ensure the safety and well-being of our clients, we choose to only offer catamaran rentals with experienced crew. This approach not only ensures a safer and more enjoyable boating experience, but also allows guests to fully enjoy the natural beauty and unique culture of the San Blas Islands, without unnecessary worries.

Of course, solitude is one of our favorite parts of boating, and probably yours too. But here in the San Blas Islands, things can go wrong quickly if you're not familiar with the area. Most islands and cays are surrounded by shallow waters, sandbars, and coral reefs.

There's no better way to kill the vibe than running aground on a remote island where help is far, far away - the piña coladas will have to wait.
Let us give you an idea of ââhow quickly things can change as you sail through the region. A brief, notorious gust of wind occurs around the islands and has been dubbed Chicken Ass by locals. The winds reach speeds of 50 knots and sweep sailors onto the rocks, where their boats and voyages are wrecked - not ideal!
So even if you were to find a way to book a bareboat charter in the San Blas Islands (which is not possible), your chances of visiting certain places would be greatly limited by the sheer number of coral reefs. You'd miss out on some of the best places to experience, and that's from
