San Blas: sail, sleep and wake up on paradise - Boats for Rent in San Blas Islands, Guna Yala Comarca, Panama

Captain Tomás, cook Jhosany and first mate José went above and beyond to make our experience aboard the Nomade an unforgettable one. They waited on us hand and foot and provided some very lovely touches to celebrate our anniversary and Father’s Day. Guna Yala is an earthly paradise and we highly recommend Tomás and his team to help you make the most of it. The catamaran was comfortable and had several areas for relaxing and enjoying the incredible surroundings, and the sporting equipment including snorkeling gear m and kayaks was quality. The only downside was that, despite receiving a survey about what our preferences were and requesting cultural experiences, we did not really spend any time learning about the Guna or interacting with them. Nevertheless, we only had two days and these were filled with beautiful moments thanks to the crew. Our family fully enjoyed this experience and we’ll remember it time and again.

This was a very unique experience! We had a fabulous time on Boris’s boat and his on-site team was superb! Captain Thomas took us to amazing islands and beautiful spots, Chef Jose made delicious meals (almost everything from scratch, on-site, a la minute), and Abraham took an excellent care of everything we needed throughout the day. The rooms are small with not much storage space, so I recommend to pack lightly. The AC didn’t work when we stayed there, but the Wifi was great (both signal and speed). I recommend using Boris’s contact for transportation to and from the catamaran; be prepared to a ~2.5-3.5hr drive from Panama City to the port (Puerto de Carti), depending on traffic and another 1.5-2hrs on a taxi boat to the catamaran, depending whether you’re the first/last to be dropped off. Check out is very early, as the speed boat pickup is at 6:30am ish. The commuting seems very messy, but they know exactly what they do. Overall, we highly recommend this experience. We’ll be back!

The stay on Boris' catamaran was an amazing experience!!! It was a family trip and Captain Thomás did everything to make it perfect, Chef José did a great job with the meals, doing everything with great care. Thanks to this top-notch crew!!!👏👏👏👏

A hospedagem no catamarã do Boris foi uma experiência incrível!!! Foi uma viagem em família e o capitão Thomás fez de tudo para que fosse perfeito, o chef José caprichou nas refeições, fazendo tudo com muito carinho. Obrigada a essa tripulação de primeira!!!👏👏👏👏

Staying on Boris' catamaran was an unforgettable experience. I stayed with my wife for three nights and we had a great time. José, Gustavo and Tomás worked hard to make us feel at home and took care of all the details to spend three spectacular days. The included meals are excellent and the activities too. Since there are few guests on the boat, it is possible to organize the day as you wish and what you want to do, so flexibility in a place like San Blas where you can get to know so many islands and places to snorkel helps a lot to enjoy that paradise. The catamaran is large, possibly one of the largest we saw in the area, so there is plenty of room to rest and enjoy the views that the area can offer. We don't hesitate to recommend this experience, which you definitely have to experience at least once in your life!!

Hospedarse en el catamarán de Boris fue una experiencia inolvidable. Estuvimos con mi esposa por tres noches y la pasamos muy bien. José, Gustavo y Tomás se esmeraron mucho en hacernos sentir como en casa y se preocuparon de todos los detalles para pasar tres días espectaculares. Las comidas incluidas son excelentes y las actividades también. Al ser pocos huéspedes dentro del barco, es posible organizar el día según convenga y lo que se desee hacer, por lo que la flexibilidad en un lugar como San Blás en donde se pueden conocer tantas islas y lugares para hacer snorkel ayuda mucho a disfrutar de ese paraíso. El catamarán es grande, posiblemente de los más grandes de los que vimos en la zona, por lo que hay bastante espacio para descansar y disfrutar de las vistas que el área puede ofrecer. No dudamos en recomendar esta experiencia, que sin duda hay que vivir al menos una vez en la vida!!

😍 Must see with your own eyes to appreciate this amazing place. Boris and his team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted and needed. We ate the freshest and best tasting seafood I’ve ever had. No lie. Don’t miss this opportunity of a lifetime. One night we slept outside under the stars ✨ We could see the Milky Way. One night we went to the local “nightclub”. Nothing like I’ve ever experienced. Just magical. Snorkeling the many islands was incredible as well. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏼 We will be back!!

We visited San Blas Islands together as a family for the first time. The family that owns the catamaran are extremely friendly, sweet, and attentive. The food was delicious! Fave thing was maracuyá moose…should totally request it if you book with them. The islands are beautiful. The Catamaran is gorgeous. You’ll love it. The only thing I would recommend….is book during the summer season. You’ll get the best weather.

The experience was incredible! The catamaran is exactly as described — comfortable, well-maintained and with a breathtaking view every second. But the big star, without a doubt, was the food: surprisingly delicious! Every meal was a real feast in paradise. 🛥️🌅🍽️

A experiência foi incrível! O catamarã é exatamente como descrito — confortável, bem cuidado e com uma vista de tirar o fôlego a cada segundo. Mas a grande estrela, sem dúvidas, foi a comida: surpreendentemente deliciosa! Cada refeição era um verdadeiro banquete no paraíso. 🛥️🌅🍽️

Words can't express how wonderful this trip was going to the San Blas Islands and sailing with Boris, Jose and Duke.  From the minute we walked on the boat we were treated like family.  The food was outstanding, all healthy and fresh ingredients.   Every meal Jose cooked for us was 5 star, who eats lobster for lunch and octopus for dinner.     Everyday Boris would take us to a new island.  The local people on the islands were very friendly and welcoming, selling beer and souvenirs but never once were we bothered like most places.   Whether you are looking to hang out with a couple people and play some volleyball or be on is pristine white sand beach without any other people the San Blas Islands have it all, and now with the road paved getting there is easier than ever.  Still takes some time but well worth it.  We have traveled all over Central and South America and I'm not sure we will ever take a better trip.  Then there is DUKE!!!!! We miss you. See you next year.

Staying with Boris on his Catamaran was truly a dream getaway! We had the absolute best time exploring the less-visited San Blas islands and sailing around to different spots. Boris is super flexible and accommodating, and we LOVED sharing the boat with his sweet pup Duke. I only hope we’ll be able to visit again so soon. Worth every penny and a trip I’ll remember for a lifetime! Thank you to Boris and Jose for every detail!

First time I've been to San Blas by catamaran. I hadn't been in a long time and would definitely stay here again but at a better time (we were unlucky with rain and cloudy skies). Despite the weather, we had a great time. Boris, Flavia, Gustavo and Jose are too kind, 20/10 in everything. I could have stayed for hours talking to them. They treated us like QUEENS, and the food is still unsurpassed. Flavia is an amazing chef. And I can't help mentioning the best part of the boat, Duke. He's a beautiful dog, good, polite, and an excellent host. He accompanied us to swim, and paddle surf. Boris organized a great trip for us. He knows all the islands, the most beautiful beaches, the best time to go and enjoy them, and the best spot for a nap on the boat too, haha. WOW! I'm taking a super good memory of this trip. I hope to see you again.

Primera vez que voy a San Blas en Catamaran. Tenía muchísimo tiempo sin ir y sin duda me volvería a quedar aquí pero en mejor época (tuvimos la mala suerte de lluvia y cielo nublado). A pesar del clima, la pasamos muy bien. Boris, Flavia, Gustavo y Jose son demasiado amables, 20/10 en todo. Podría quedarme horas conversando con ellos. Nos trataron como REINAS, y la comida no la superamos todavía. Flavia es una chef increíble. Y no puedo dejar de mencionar lo mejor del bote, Duke. Es una hermosura de perro, bueno, educado, excelente anfitrión. Nos acompañó a nadar, hacer padel surf. Boris nos organizó tremendo viaje, se conoce todas las islas, cuales son las playas más bonitas, la mejor hora para ir y aprovechar, el mejor spot para la siesta en el bote también jaja. WOW! Me llevo un super buen recuerdo de este viaje. Espero verles denuevo.

We (my dad & I) spent 3 nights with Boris sailing trough San Blas and it was such a cool experience! Boris is very friendly guy and fun to talk to and San Blas is so pretty :) It’s the perfect place to experience nature and get away from the mainstream tourism. The only thing we would find necessary to mention is that you really have to keep in mind to go in the right season (don’t go while rainy season) and prepare yourself for some sandfleas!

I had an amazing time in San Blas! There was a tiny hiccup with my booking but Boris took care of it and I ended up having a grea trip with truly incredible people. The beaches were amazing, the vibes were good, the snorkeling was beautiful and the food was tasty!

Wow! Boris somehow made paradise even better!! This was one of the most incredible experiences we have ever had. The company that Boris suggested for transport to San Blas was reliable and very well organized. The Sail Boat is extremely comfortable and well equipped. The food was fresh and delicious! Boris knows how to navigate through San Blas and he took us to some of the most incredible beaches and snorkeling spots we have ever been to!! We had no choice but to extend our trip an extra day! Cannot recommend him and his team enough! We will be back!!

I could write hours about the AMAZING Martini experience with Boris and his team. It's an awesome experience, on a nice boat, and great company. Undoubtedly, an experience that we will not forget in many ways, the place is magical, hosts attentive and with incredible energy. WE are clear that WE will come back, DO not STOP LIVING THIS EXPERIENCE. The meals on board are to prepare them with care and the best fresh produce from the Sea. The local Boris diving and knowledge of the area make this experience a unique way to discover San Blas. WELCOME TO PARADISE.

Podría escribir horas sobre la INCREÍBLE experiencia en el Martini con Boris y su equipo. Es una experiencia impresionante, en un barco agradable y con una compañía excelente. Sin duda, una experiencia que no olvidaremos por muchos aspectos, el lugar es mágico, los anfitriones atentos y con una energía increíble. Nosotros tenemos claro que volveremos, NO DEJEN DE VIVIR ESTA EXPERIENCIA. Las comidas  a bordo son prepararlas con mimo y los mejores productos frescos del Mar. El buceo y el conocimiento de Boris de la zona hacen de esta experiencia una forma única de descubrir San Blas. BIENVENIDOS AL PARAÍSO.

Meeting Boris was a blessing. Adventurous, yet a safe pair of hands sailing and a peaceful soul, he provides excellent meals working with fresh catch from the local Kuna fishermen, and beautifully interacts with the community. He cares deeply about this last patch of paradise in the Caribbean and will go above and beyond to ensure you see the best of it, whilst giving you the space for your own discoveries. If you can, take at least a few days or better a week to explore, and take advantage of going soon before the creep of development. A fantastic host and place, the dog is a sweetheart too.

We booked 3 nights and spontaneously added a 4. The days with Boris and his dog Duke were a unique  experience, which we highly recommend. Thanks again to Boris for these unforgettable days.

Wir haben 3 Nächte gebucht und spontan noch eine 4 dazu. Die Tage mit Boris und seinem Hund Duke waren ein einzigartiges  Erlebnis, was wir wärmstens weiterempfehlen können. Vielen Dank nochmals an Boris für diese unvergesslichen Tage.

We had a great time onboard with Boris and Duque, his super cute dog! During our stay we got the chance to experience the laidback Guna Yala lifestyle and see some of the most incredible islands one can imagine. The food prepared by Boris was delicious and fresh (mostly seafood) and the boat cosy and clean. Gracias Boris for showing us a part of paradise! <33
