An unforgettable 5-star stay! We traveled as a group with friends, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. The catamaran is super comfortable, and the beaches we visited were truly amazing. Special mention for the crew: Captain Tomás, First Officer José, and the cook, Clara, were spectacularly helpful and warm from start to finish. Clara's meals were exquisite, always very elaborate, impeccably presented and with an impressive attention to detail. José and Tomás were always attentive to what we needed. In addition, the service on board is impeccable: we went to the beach for a while, and when we returned, the crew had already organized everything, cleaned, and the table was ready to eat. An unbeatable level of service, cleanliness and hospitality. Highly recommended, and we would definitely go back 1,000 times more. Thank you for making us feel right at home.

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!!!👏👏👏👏

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!!

😍 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. 🛥️🌅🍽️

Great experience for the family!

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.
