Sail a modern yacht through San Blas’ turquoise waters, with snorkeling, island hopping, and Guna cultural encounters. Constellation hosts up to six guests in three private cabins.
The Space
Constellation is a modern sailing yacht based in the San Blas Islands, also known as Guna Yala. It offers an authentic and comfortable way to explore the region, with opportunities to sail through turquoise waters, visit pristine islands, snorkel vibrant coral reefs, and experience Guna culture.
Included activities are:
- Sailing
- Island hopping
- Snorkeling
- Fishing
- Paddleboarding
- Kayaking
- Beach bonfires
The yacht accommodates up to six guests and includes:
- Three private double cabins
- One saloon bed
- Two bathrooms
Guests may reserve a single cabin and potentially share the yacht with other travelers, or book the entire boat privately for an additional fee.
Your Hosts
I’m Mack, a 31-year-old Canadian, and I would be delighted to host and captain your San Blas adventure. I have lived in San Blas for more than five years.
You will also be hosted by Makuto, a local Guna lobster and spear fisherman. He will guide you to hidden snorkeling spots and introduce you to friends, family, and Guna culture within his community.
My partner, Meliza, will prepare personalized meals for you. She lives with our two young children on our family boat, which is separate from Constellation. Both children were born in the local community.
Meals and Drinks
Freshly prepared meals and drinks are available for $60 per person per day, payable on board. Alcohol is included in moderation.
There are no grocery stores in San Blas. We purchase package-free fruits and vegetables from a weekly vegetable boat and do our best to minimize waste through sustainable practices. Guests are also welcome to bring fresh food items from Panama City to add to our gourmet meals.
Sustainability and Water Use
Constellation provides desalinated drinking water using an energy-efficient watermaker. Rainwater and river water are collected for showering.
Fresh water is limited, so guests are asked to conserve water and take showers sparingly. To help reduce waste, we also ask guests to bring one gallon jug of plastic waste back to Panama City when they return.
Guest Access
Guests have shared access to nearly everything aboard the yacht, including:
- Snorkeling equipment
- Kayaks
- Fishing gear
- Paddleboards
- Water toys
- Other onboard equipment
Transportation
Transportation is not included in the reservation. Stress-free transportation from Panama City is available through the recommended transport service, Lam Tours.

There really should be a 6-star option on Airbnb for places that are not just an accommodation but an entire experience. I had just one night on the boat but it was everything you could dream of. Ellison & Mack took excellent care of us from the first to last minute on the vessel. The food was excellent and the portions were exceptionally generous! Whether snorkeling or enjoying my book on deck it was bliss the entire time. As a solo traveler I appreciated Mack’s prompt and thorough communication. The other guests on the boat were absolutely lovely and we got on as if we had been friends forever. Sensational experience and I can’t wait to return!

We could not of asked for a better place to stay for our vacation in San Blas. Food was some of the best we’ve ever had, the weather was perfect, and the San Blas Islands are an incredible place. Ellison and Mac showed us around some of the nicest snorkeling spots and some great islands. Cannot recommend booking with Mac more, we will definitely be letting all our friends and family know about this stay.

We had a wonderful time aboard Mackenzie’ boat. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Panama! He went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Would highly recommend the meal package. The food was delicious!

Where do I start?!? Mack and Ellison were great hosts! Ellison made sure everyone’s needs were met (I wish I spoke more Spanish to be able to have conversations with him!). Food was phenomenal and well balanced with fruit/veggies/carbs and fresh protein from the sea caught daily by Ellison. The area looks exactly like you see online. So many islands…so little time. Beds were comfortable and each room was equipped with rechargeable fans for cooling. If it started raining during the night, Ellison would run and shut the hatch above each room. He loaded/unloaded the dingy with all of our snorkeling gear each outing. When we ended up with poor snorkeling (we explored the wrong side of the island), Mack sailed us to a better spot in the afternoon to make up for it. He and his family live on their own boat anchored next to ours. We stayed for 5 nights while other couples came and went, which gave us the opportunity to meet some really nice people. HIGHLY recommend and I’m hoping to return!

Wir sind unglaublich glücklich, dass wir zwei Nächte auf der Constellation verbringen konnten. Wir waren für unsere Hochzeitsreise in Panama und der Aufenthalt bei Mackenzie war der beste Abschluss, den wir uns hätten wünschen können. Mackenzie hat uns so viele unvergessliche Momente ermöglicht und man merkt, dass er sich sehr gut in der Umgebung und der Kultur der Guna Yala auskennt. Das Essen, was man an Bord des Schiffes bekommt, das Melissa kocht ist sehr sehr lecker. Wir haben den besten Oktopuss unseres Lebens bekommen. Mein Mann hatte an einem der Abende Geburtstag und hat sogar extra einen Geburtstagskuchen bekommen. Alle Menschen an Bord sind super lieb und geben alles dafür, dass der Aufenthalt einzigartig wird. Dankeschön, für dieses tolle Erlebnis!

I came with my two young kids and husband for four nights in February. We unfortunately struck upon some severe weather and were unable to sail as much as initially anticipated. Despite this, there was still lots to do on nearby islands. When we did get sailing we got the sense that Captain Mack was a proficient sailor and knowledgable about the local area. Makut, our local host, was attentive and helpful. Melissa prepared delicious meals and was responsive to our kids’ preferences. Overall, a unique way to take in a beautiful spot.

To say our stay on Mackenzie's boat was like a dream feels like a gross understatement. Two friends and I spent two nights in the gorgeous San Blas Islands, and they pretty much had to pull us kicking and screaming when it was time to leave. This place is paradise. We got to go for a big sail, which felt like such a treat. The food was plentiful and delicious. We snorkeled, visited white sandy beaches, sat at the bow while rolling down waves, read books and chatted, spotted dolphins, and questioned our entire existence, while Mac and Macu made our stay so memorable and pleasant. Thank you, Mac and Macu, this was the highlight of our trip! Sophie, Sophie & Julie

Our stay on Mackenzie's boat was amazing. In addition to the incredible views and crystal clear water of the San Blas archipelago, all his staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. We had wonderful meals made by Melissa. All the fish and seafood were very fresh and delicious. We made a request to have vegetarian meals for my girlfriend and they offered us a multitude of options. The local guide who works on the boat, Makuto, was also extremely kind, offered to help whenever possible and gave us several tips on what to do on site. We had a lot of fun and recommend it to anyone looking for a different trip.

An incredibly magical stay in San Blas with Mackenzie and his family. My husband and I and our 2 year old stayed 3 nights on Mackenzie’s beautiful boat and loved every second of it! We went to a new island everyday, and even got a chance to go to the local Guna village which was very special. Melissa’s cooking was so good! Fresh fish and lagostina, and fresh ingredients. My son had a wonderful time and we loved spending time with Mackenzie’s kids too. This was definitely a memorable trip for us and we will definitely come back again soon. For anyone thinking of a unique and spectacular trip with family or solo - book with Mackenzie and his lovely family!

Wonderful stay in a beautiful location! We had the best time staying on Mack’s boat. Mack and crew were super attentive, very laid back, knowledgeable, and fun!!! We were able to visit numerous islands, the boat was very clean and comfortable, and all the food (3 meals per day) was delicious. I would definitely recommend Mack’s boat to others. Great experience.
