San Blas Islands Sailing Cruise

“This trip is one of the best things that we have ever done in our lives. From my first contact with Pantalasa the communication was clear and professional. They are a breeze to deal with. We booked a 7-day charter. Once we met Judit and Ignacio we felt immediately relaxed and comfortable. The logistics and food were all taken care of without effort or fuss, making living and navigating the region seem easy, but we learnt that this is not the case unless you are very attentive, experienced and skilled. Judit and Ignacio seem to have a natural skill with people knowing when to leave you alone to relax and when to push for activity. They were sensitive to our needs the whole trip. Oh… and the snorkelling was fantastic, the aquamarine water, the coral and fish amazing, the Kuna people and culture interesting, deserted islands that make you feel like you’re the only person in the world, the boat was tidy, well maintained and fastidiously clean, and the food was delicious. Not one complaint here. If there is something you need to do in life it is this trip, don’t hesitate San Blas won’t be like this for ever!”

“Pasar 2 dias en el barco de Judit e Ignacio fue una de las mejores experiencias de mi viaje de 5 meses. Visité San Blas con mis padres y mi novio. Judit e Ignacio nos trataron genial, son muy amables ademas de muy buenos cocineros: las comidas y las cenas solían depender de la pesca del mismo día. Los desayunos eran muy saludables y siempre que queriamos teniamos bebida y picoteo. Todo ello mientras mirabamos atónitos las islas de San Blas. Hicimos snorkel con los equipos que nos dejaron, los fondos eran preciosos. El velero está en perfecto estado y siempre limpísimo. Buena conversacion, deliciosa comida y espectaculares atardeceres. Merece la pena. Muchas gracias, chicos.”

“More than 1 week after having left San Blas we just realise that it was real! We wanted to thank you very sincerely for the few days we spent with you. For your genuine sense of hospitality but also for this rare ability that you have to make people feel unique. Do not change anything! It has been really a pleasure that we hope we will be able to make happen again in the future! We loved it! Panama, we will be back! Judit, Nacho we will be back!”

“Our vacations in San Blas with Judit and Ignacio is one of our travel highlights around the world. After a busy cancer meeting in Panama City we enjoyed a terrific sailing time in a well-maintained and charming sailboat. Their hospitality and friendship was key for such experience. Swimming, snorkelling in the coral reefs and wildlife watching during daytime was as pleasant as sipping rum while watching sunset in the evening. Food was based in local products (fresh fished lobster, octopus and local fish) served with side dishes superbly prepared despite the challenges posed by a small kitchenette. Ignacio is a great cook and Judit is a key collaborator to make everything flow smoothly and peacefully. As a whole, a highly recommended experience if willing to decompress and avoid stressful life. Will repeat for sure!”
