Sailing Colombia to Panama

We run island-hopping adventure trips, not luxury charters or honeymoon cruises. Space and privacy are limited, so the trip suits open-minded adventure travellers and backpackers.

It’s the tropics. Sleeping areas have fans, but hatches sometimes need to stay closed while sailing for safety, so nights can be warm.

Fresh water is saved for safety on an offshore trip. A rinse-down shower is usually possible once during the trip, depending on the tank. The Caribbean is your bathtub.

Hearty, home-cooked and plenty of it, with fresh ingredients, homemade salsas, salads and a lobster or seafood feast. Vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free diets can be catered for: tell us when you book. We can’t cook separate meals for ingredients you don’t like.

Yes, both boats have friendly canine crew members. Good to know if you have an allergy. On some trips we can also take passengers travelling with their dog.

Rarely, but weather, port authorities or mechanical issues can cause delays. Don’t book on a tight schedule: leave a 48-hour buffer before your next travel plans and bring travel insurance.

Whenever the wind allows. Too much wind, too little, or wind from the wrong direction means the engine helps out, because the boat also has a schedule to keep.

Snorkeling, swimming, paddling, beach games and plenty of hammock time. When possible the crew arranges a visit to a Guna village and a pirate party with a bonfire on the beach.
