Flights from Panama City to San Blas have become increasingly popular mainly due to the cuts in costs. In this guide we cover the ins and outs of flying to San Blas. Needless to say that flying to San Blas is the right option in most cases and that a yacht charter in the San Blas islands is definitely improved when choosing a flight transfer over of a road transfer. Top 5 reasons why flying to San Blas is highly advisable: 1 Flying time is 40 minutes instead of the 4 hour road/water taxi transfers 2.Depart location can be Albrook local or Tocumen international as an option 3. Fly in and you skip the road and water taxi which is not comfortable for some 4. Landing at Corazon de Jesus is a stone throw away from the Cays. Coming in by road and water taxi puts you 2 hours sail away from the tip of Dutch Cays 5. Costs of flying is down compared to previous years Where do you catch the plane for San Blas? Albrook local airport which is in Panama City or Tocumen international airport as an option which is nice because you can get to San Blas without having to change airports Where do flights land? Corazon de Jesus and el Porvenir Which of the 2 landing locations is the best? We prefer Corazon de Jesus because it is an easy reach to the Cays but we could fly to el Porvenir at times if needed How long are the flights to San Blas Corazon de Jesus or el Porvenir? 40 minutes What times do private flights to San Blas depart? Since they are private, they can take off at any time you decide. ALthough 6-8 AM flights are the standard and we prefer our guests to leave to San Blas early morning,we can always adapt to whatever time in the day. Note that the airports in San Blas do not have lights and flying in and out must be done during daylight. Is it safe to fly to San Blas? Some of our guests are generally afraid of flying in small private planes.

► Full test in Multihulls World #179: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/trimaran/tricat-690-cruising-and/or-sport-as-you-like ► All first sea trials for the Tricat 6.90. Antoine Houdet, CEO of Tricat is at the helm alone and in a good breeze! Specialists in folding trimarans since 2003, Tricat have just launched a new model which fits between the Tricat 20 and the 25. In order not to (re)tread on the toes of any former models from the shipyard in this category (the 22 and the 23.5), they decided to integrate the metric system: so now you have the Tricat 6.90! We had the opportunity to test this model in particularly heavy conditions: at just 7 meters (22’8”) long, it showed itself to be as safe as it is fast. While the central hull is relatively traditional with its almost plumb bow and its very high chines. The floats are more modern, with a flush gunwale and a broken and inverted bow in the upper section. The main innovation of this new model is the removal of the traditional aft beam, freeing up circulation around the cockpit, especially for the helmsman. For the interior, some well thought-out packages and options allow you to increase the level of comfort. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Tricat Architects: BE Tricat / Jack Michal Material: polyester-infused GRP Length unfolded/folded: 22’8” / 24’11” (6.90/7.60 m) Beam unfolded/folded: 15’1” / 8’½” (4.60/2.45 m) Draft: 12” / 3’11” (0.30/1.20 m) Light displacement: 1,590 lbs (720 kg) Fully-battened mainsail area: 205 / 237 sq ft (19/22 m²) Solent: 104 / 116 sq ft (9.7/10.8 m²) Gennaker: 258 sq ft (24 m²) Spinnaker: 366 sq ft (34 m²) Outboard motor: 3.5 to 6 HP ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
