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!

Incredible host, took our family of 6 with kids ages C 8,12,15,17. Incredible food, incredible location and yes it’s a process to get there but worth it. Nano arranged everything and went smooth! Do it! You will not regret it. 6 islands in 3 days. Best trip ever and Camila is so nice with the kids. My kids are already telling us they want to go back!!!

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 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 is a magical, luxurious experience in the heart of San Blas. The food she makes is so fresh and delicious, lots of seafood and fish fresh from the region, and she is generous with offering refreshments. She has many suggestions of good places to snorkel, grab a beachside drink, lounge in a hammock. We have nothing but beautiful memories of this trip and it was the highlight of our visit to Panama. We would return again gladly.

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!!

we had the most wonderful trip on the sailboat through the San Blas. The captain and tour guide were exceptional. They cooked us three fresh meals a day. they informed us of all of our options. We had a dofferent experience each of our four days, all in crystal blue waters. We snorkeled at a ship wreck. We went to a pristine isolated clean beach. we were able to shower and relax on the islands. Martin communicated on both ends perfectly so there were no bumps or surprises. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! One note: if you are not an adventure person, this is not for you. If you are like us, it is literally the perfect vacation among the Guna people, the sea, the dolphins and the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. El capitan and Mel went above and beyond and made life on a boat easy. we will return!

Our stay on the boat with Federico and Anita was amazing. We had a wonderful few days with them and they looked after us perfectly! They took us sailing and to a few different islands across our 3 days and we also enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming straight from the boat. They even had fishing equipment for us to use and adapted the day to what you wanted and enjoyed. The food was fantastic with breakfast, lunch and dinner - Federico was amazing in the kitchen. They were lovely hosts and company and we could have very easily stayed longer. They also helped with recommending and organising the transfer as well. We both can’t recommend them enough!

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

This was an amazing experience. Adrian is a very knowledgeable boat captain who navigated us throughout the beautiful San Blas Islands. Special thank you to Mer and Katie who helped us feel welcome during our stay by cooking delicious food and making sure we had everything we needed. Maybe we can come see you when you are on the Pacific side!

Had an absolute blast with the crew of Renaissance. If you’re looking for a fun adventure, great food, and amazing views then book this trip before it’s gone! We felt right at home for the entirety of the trip. I’d definitely come back!

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

Our stay aboard at Jaco and Christelle’s sailboat in San Blas was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by them and their two adorable dogs, Coco and Canela. Jaco is a great captain who knows the best snorkeling spots, taking us to stunning reefs with crystal clear water and abundant marine life. Every day was an adventure, from exploring secluded islands to swimming with colourful fish. Christelle is an incredible cook—every meal she prepared was so fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. We loved the rum tastings too. Dining under the stars on the deck was an experience we’ll never forget. The boat itself was very comfortable, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Thank you Jaco and Christelle for making our trip so special!
