• Free cancellation available
• Mobile voucher
• Instant confirmation
• Selective hotel pickup

We’ve been sailing this area for more than 15 years and will take you to beautiful Caribbean Beaches only accessible by sea. There is no road that can get you there and the nature is still virgin. Pick-up is at 7am at your accommodation in Panama City, and we'll drive almost 2 hours to Portobelo, which is a historic port built by the Spanish in 1597. If you don’t need pickup, we will meet you at the dock at 9am, and will get to the Catamaran by speedboat. First we will sail to Venas Azules (50mins), a mangrove lagoon characterised by turquoise water that we will explore by dinghi (1.5 hour). After the lagoon excursion, we will be back to the catamaran and sail to Playa Blanca (30mins), where you can snorkel and observe pristine colourful corals and fish, do paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing on the boat or beach (2.5 hours). After that we will sail for 30 minutes back to Portobelo. If you’re a traveller looking for unique spots and love sailing, this is your trip!
