We spent 4 days / 3 unforgettable nights. Marina made sure everything went smoothly. We were coming from a reservation in San Blas that the skipper canceled, and in just a few days, Marina rearranged and planned these wonderful days. Special mention to Juliano and Marion, the skipper and the cook, who are absolutely the best. Marion, you are Michelin star level, and eating like this on a boat is not normal. Juliano, thank you very much to you too for being so flexible and for being the best skipper we have ever had, and we have been on quite a few sailboats!!!! The experience was absolutely amazing. Don't hesitate.

“We could not have asked for a better experience in San Blas with Pablo and Silvia onboard on Sea Level. San Blas is a nature world marvelous with hundreds of virgin islands that will make you feel in Heaven. Pablo and Silvia are fantastic hosts, very friendly, knowledgeable of the region and get along well with the Kunas and the other sailors. Silvia’s food is delicious and she cooks a custom menu for the guests tastes. They will make you feel at home. Sea Level is a new, clean, comfortable and smooth boat. It went down as probably one of the best trips we’ve made.

Our experience in San Blas was amazing. We have enjoyed every minute, not only because it's the most beautiful place in the world but also because we had nothing to worry about. Communication and organization were perfectly handled by Marina. And many thanks to our amazing captain, Manù on El Tranquilo, great cook and knows every corner of this magical place.

San Blas Islands are incomparably beautiful, and Marina provides an amazing way to experience them. The hosts on the sailboat we traveled on were very kind, capable, friendly and the food was very delicious. Beware, however, as clearly stated in the listing, that Marina is not responsible for ground transportation or water transportation to the sailboat. She suggests that you must work through Lam Tours. We had multiple negative experiences with Lam Tours, which influenced our overall feelings about the trip. Beware also that the price listed on Marina's Airbnb listing is not the price you may end up paying; prices vary according to which boats are available. In our case, we chose a more expensive option because Marina suggested that we might have an indoor shower option, but that benefit was not in the end realized. San Blas was unforgettable, and Marina was an exceptionally responsive and communicative host. As an adventure, I recommend it.

Marina was extremely proactive an easy to communicate with. She helped us find the perfect boat & crew for me and my wife, arranged transportation to and from the boat, and answered all of our questions very promptly. The 3 nights we spent in San Blas with Giulia and Rodrigo on the Gaia was beyond perfect and an experience we will never forget!

Truly a beautiful experience in San Blas. We had a wonderful time sailing, snorkeling, kayaking and exploring the islands. Lorenzo and Alejandra were amazing hosts. They both are very friendly, knew the best places to explore in San Blas and they always made sure we were comfortable. The food they prepared for us was fresh and delicious. We highly recommend!
