Yacht charter in San Blas

01 · Overview

Yacht charter in San Blas

The San Blas islands, known locally as Guna Yala, are an autonomous region governed by the Guna people. Most of the islands are tiny, flat and fringed with reef, with a few huts and coconut palms. There are no big towns, marinas or resorts, which is why the boats on our desk here are all crewed: the crew knows the reefs and the local rules.

How many charter boats are there in San Blas?

We list 7 boats in San Blas today, from 1 charter company. Most are catamarans. The number changes as operators add and sell boats.

Which licence do I need to charter in San Blas?

For a bareboat charter, yes: the skipper needs a licence the operator accepts, and usually a VHF radio certificate. 86% of the boats here list a licence requirement. If nobody in your crew holds one, choose a crewed boat, or ask the operator about hiring a skipper.

How do I get to San Blas?

Fly to Panama City. The road to the San Blas coast takes about two to three hours in a 4x4, followed by a short boat ride. There are also small flights to island airstrips.
