Sailing the San Blas Islands offers a breathtaking experience, but it requires both expert crew and careful planning due to the challenging conditions. Unlike other popular Caribbean destinations, bareboat charters are not allowed in San Blas because of uncharted waters, hidden reefs, and a lack of reliable marine infrastructure such as marinas and supply stores. The more than 365 islands are often surrounded by coral reefs, making navigation risky without local knowledge. To ensure a safe and enjoyable voyage, charters typically come with a skilled skipper and an inclusive provisioning plan, covering everything from fresh water and basic supplies to access to fresh seafood from local Guna fishermen. Catamaran Adventures offers discounts on charters not needing the provisioning, deckhand or cook. Contact us for further details.

BayCruiser 21 The smallest boat among the nominees is also the most versatile: with the ballast centreboard and rudder raised, the British boat with its cuddly retro look is just 25 centimetres deep and can therefore be slipped in shallow shore areas. Thanks to the carbon rig with Dyneema shrouds, setting the mast is also easy. If the 400 litre water ballast tank remains empty, the BayCruiser has a very good power-to-weight ratio (sail carrying capacity 5.2). Hull length: 6.01 m; overall length: 6.01 m; waterline length: 5.67 m; width: 2.18 m; draught: 0.25-1.50 m; weight/with water ballast: 0.6/1.0 t; sail area: 19.0 m2; STZ/m. Water ballast: 5.2/4.4; Price: 39,210 euros.
