Is it Safe to Sail in the San Blas Islands? The San Blas Islands is the safest and most unique year round cruising grounds for all kinds of travelers in the world. Unlike other parts of the Caribbean, the archipelago of Guna Yala is a hazard free region thanks to the indigenous communities and their close watch on all situations. If you have traveled or sailed the Caribbean for sure you have at least had an encounter with some of the pushy locals that often show up next to the boat demanding some sort of collaboration in one way or the other. Merchandise and tours of dubious nature at unreasonable prices are offered from their colorful boats; pricey lobster and other goods are also pushed with insistence. Cordially denying any of the offers might work at times but the reality is that most of the times it just doesn’t work and if the situation is not handled correctly it quickly escalate into and uncomfortable situation. Touristic sail grounds all over the Caribbean and the rest of the world for that matter come together with that sense of uneasiness not found in parts of the world where tourism is limited and no big yacht charter agencies are found like the San Blas Islands. Throughout the years, locals indigenous have had the chance to continue developing their own approach to what a conscious and respectful with the ecosystem life should be. Having sailed the San Blas islands for years we can say that the only reason San Blas is still for the most part intact and the best Caribbean sailing destination is due to the fact that the land, the islands, cannot be sold to foreigners or any outsider not part and the indigenous community. With self determination like in the San Blas autonomous region comes the agility in any process needed to maintain order in any way and that includes security. Closed indigenous communities are excellent when it comes to dealing with any security issues. In case of any event or alert such as the approach of a local squall or culopollo-chokosana, response by not only the Guna authorities but also from all chiefs or sailahs and the whole boating community is swift. A catamaran cruise in the San Blas islands is not only completely safe but also a mind enriching experience that will stay with you for years to come.

ORC 57 from @marsaudoncomposites2326 ▫️ Grand Large Yachting, owner of the Outremer and Gunboat brands bought the Marsaudon Composites shipyard in September 2023. ▫️ That's good news if you are a performance multihull fan as this manufacturer, based in Lorient in Brittany France, had some financial challenges this year. ▫️ What are your thoughts? 👇 ▫️ As we reported from Cannes, Grand Large Yachting now owns the assets, the teams and the ORC brand. ▫️ The Marsaudon Lorient submarine base will also be building the Outremer 45 to free up capacity in La Grande Motte for the group. ▫️ What next for ORC? Probably a relaunch of the ORC range: the 42, 50 and 57. ▫️ What would you like to see them do with this brand? 👇 ▫️ Their ORC 57 catamaran builds on the style and design philosophy of the other models with fluid lines, and a muscular, sporty structure for long cruises and high-performance navigation. ▫️ The ORC57 comes with 4 large twin cabins, accommodating 9 people. A large bathroom and shower, both with sliding doors, in each hull and plenty of storage space. ▫️ #sailing #yachtingnews #speed #fast #performance #katamarans

Surrounded by nothing but the Atlantic, the wind, the sun, and endless depths beneath your feet. Some places are impossible to explain—you can only feel them. 🌊 @fedwardss #yacht #ocean #atlantic #spinnakermagazine #spinnakerbureau

A MUST VISIT One of Tito's abandoned former summer residences in former Yugoslavia. Well hidden in the forested hills to the north-west of Croatia's top tourist draw, the Plitvice Lakes National Park, which is just 2 miles (3 km) away. Not easy to find without a guide, unless you know exactly where to go; abandoned and free. Now a crumbling ruin, heavily vandalised and looted it still has plenty of beauty-in-decay appeal! Highly atmospheric and definitely worth the detour and effort to visit. If you're with a guide, ask about the tunnel! ON LOCATION - Tito's Villa Izvor, Plitvice, Croatia
