Boat holiday rentals in Central America

We enjoyed an amazing 3 day cruise with affable Peter and his first mate Jen. Unforgettable locations, stunning underwater scenery and excellent food. A trip we won’t forget.

“We could not have asked for a better experience in San Blas with Pablo and Silvia onboard on Sea Level. San Blas is a nature world marvelous with hundreds of virgin islands that will make you feel in Heaven. Pablo and Silvia are fantastic hosts, very friendly, knowledgeable of the region and get along well with the Kunas and the other sailors. Silvia’s food is delicious and she cooks a custom menu for the guests tastes. They will make you feel at home. Sea Level is a new, clean, comfortable and smooth boat. It went down as probably one of the best trips we’ve made.

An amazing stay for 4 days at the Maluco! Eileen and John show you the best places, the food is the best from entire Panama and they are super friendly! It was a great stay and we already miss it!

4 nights with Captain Nano on Poco loco was an amazing experience for our young family. We have traveled the world, spent a lot of time on boats and his yacht, food and amazing personable service was incredible. He has an impressive life long performance sailing career, knows the San Blas area and all the good spots. He is patient and integrated with the local communities and provides a unique, authentic and respectful experience to those in his care. Nano and Sushi Master Mr. M went well above and beyond to make sure my wife and 6 and 2 year old daughters were all comfortable, safe and having a great time. San Blas islands are stunningly beautiful, nicely protected and not over crowded compared to other Caribbean cruising destinations. Nano's Slow Travel ethos aligns perfectly to the area. Just book and go!

We had an incredible time in the San Blas with Pete. The islands are absolutely gorgeous and undeveloped with great snorkeling, lovely beaches and a fascinating indigenous population. Pete has spent years sailing the islands and knew them extremely well. We several different islands a day, most much further out than the day trip boats travel. The meals were tasty and healthy with lots of fresh fruit and seafood. The boat had lots of room to spread out on and Pete and crew made us feel at home. It was a truly unique experience!

We stayed on the Plan B yard in an absolute paradise for two nights and had the most amazing time there. The stay was like a dream come true. We had our own cabins including our own bathrooms. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was freshly prepared by Toni - the best chef we could imagine. He focused on natural ingredients and caught the fish himself. We stayed overnight in remote bays waking up in paradise. Harry, the captain made sure we got to know those remote islands and took us on snorkeling trips around beautiful reefs. Thank you again for this amazing stay.

We loved our stay on the boat! Leo and Eva are such great and friendly hosts. We went snorkeling (amazing!!), ate a lot of tasty, fresh meals that Eva cooked, sailed, learned a lot about the Kuna, watched the stars, relaxed at beaches/islands… It was an amazing experience and we were really glad to stay on a boat and be able to visit different places and get an idea of how life in San Blas really is. We would definitely recommend it. Best part of our trip! Thank you so much

Mira’s boat was amazing! From the moment she met us at drop off to the last minute before we left, she was kind and courteous. She made us feel at home. The boat was super clean and welcoming! The food was outstanding! She provided daily excursions. We stayed three nights! We will definitely return!

We had the best time at Boris’ Catamaran. He is the best host and took care of every little detail and made sure that we are always enjoying our time. The boat is spacious and very pretty and the food is great. The islands are incredible and Boris made sure we saw as many islands as possible and that we had enough time to enjoy each of them. We are already planning our next trip!!

Too bad it was too little! Fantastic experience! Anita and Federico are two very pleasant hosts, the boat, even though my wife and I are not "sailors", it is very comfortable. Cabin with comfortable bed and spacious bathroom... Sleeping cradled by the sea, the sunset and the stars of the night are a priceless experience...but the thing that really remained in our hearts was the care put into everything and Federico's delicious cuisine. We who love cats have appreciated Shanu's great friendliness, but he is never intrusive... in short... the only challenge is not to have spent a few more days on board... we wanted to test the vacation by boat and the verdict was "to be repeated as soon as possible"!

I would give more stars, if allowed. It was an amazing trip w/a fun, engaging and entertaining couple who have lived on boats most their lives and called San Blas aboard Blue Sky 'home' for the past 16 years. Their knowledge of the area, indigenous people, and all things safety related while underway gave way to peace of mind. Attentive as ever whether it was mealtime, snorkeling assistance, evening entertainer and/or bartender! I can't recommend sailing w/them enough and only wish we extended our stay longer! Glad to think of them as our new 'friends', and if we have the ability to sail w/them in the future, I will uphold my Mexican Train (Dominos) Titleship! Thanks for EVERYTHING Breeze & Debbie! Best, Kym and Mike

We had a beautiful time on Adrian’s boat sailing the San Blas islands. Adrian himself is a great host and captain, who took us snorkeling and showed us other possibilities to explore the area! The boat may get cozy with 4 guests (and during rainy weather) and it is optimal for 2 guests! Fully recommended!

Choosing to stay on a sailboat in the middle of the ocean with your children is not for the unadventurous. It took a 2 hour drive through the mountains, and a water taxi in the pouring rain to arrive at the Renaissance off the islands of San Blas in Guna Yala, Panama. All that travel was worth it! Captain Morgan, Petra and their two children were excellent hosts. We felt safe with Captain Morgan at the helm, knowing he was the captain of super yachts and had spent years sailing with his family. Petra is an excellent chef and we ate fresh seafood and healthy food every day. The beds were comfy, and excellent WiFi. Our kids (3 and 6) got along really well with the kids on the ship who were a few years older, giving us parents time to relax or snorkel. We had some bad weather while we were there but the ship felt safe and we were still able to enjoy the beaches, snorkeling, and kayaking. If you like nice wine or special snacks you will want bring them on board.

What a magical time we had! Nicolas was such a wonderful host - he made us delicious fresh food (freshly caught fish and octopus, delicious homemade pumpkin soup, etc) and was so interesting and lovely to talk with :) he made us feel right at home. The Guna Yala archipelago is nothing short of paradise! It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this gorgeous part of the world. We felt truly privileged! Thank you again Nicolas!

We had a very enjoyable stay on board. Enjoy the hammock, sail, swam a lot, snorkeled and delicious food.

One of the best, most unique trips we have taken. 4 nights truly wasn’t long enough! Guadalupe, Estoban, and Magga were friendly, welcoming, and made us feel completely at home. Spending 5 days on a sailboat with strangers can feel intimidating, but we truly felt connected to them as soon as we got there. We sailed each day to a new island and were given the freedom of how we wanted to spend our time. Guadalupe prepared a variety of beautiful, delicious meals - it felt like we were at a restaurant! We would recommend this trip to anyone. San Blas is incredible and exploring the area on Thyra will exceed your expectations. Guadalupe, Estoban, Maga - thank you for being amazing hosts. What a beautiful life you live! Love, your new friends Katie & Ross

We loved our stay with Jaco and Christelle and would highly recommend it! The San Blas islands are pristine and absolutely gorgeous and we loved our time there! The food Christelle made was incredible - we’re still amazed by what she could create in that little kitchen! She was also very accommodating as one of us has an allergy that affected our meals. Also having a snorkeling guide in Jaco made for an unforgettable experience! We loved befriending their sweet pups, Coco and Canela! We had a very relaxing few days but also feel that we got to experience a lot and we would absolutely stay with them again! Great value for money as we were so well taken care of and saw so much!
