Catamaran Kismet

Had an amazing 3 days with Shawn and Ludi! Isolated island with the best white sand beaches, snorkeling with nurse sharks and eagle rays and soaking up the sun on the Kismet. Shawn was super responsive and Ludi’s cooking was top-notch. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

By far hands down one of the best Vacations I've ever Experienced. I highly recommend it and hope to go back soon. Literally priceless. super friendly and fun.

Great experience. The San Blas archipelago is amazing, with crystal clear water and an abundance of sea life. Plenty of water activities. Enjoying a cold beverage and the breeze at sunset while relaxing on the “Kismet” trampoline, followed soon thereafter by stargazing, was mesmerizing. “Kismet” was clean and well kept. We enjoyed getting to know Shawn and Ludi. Conversations with Shawn felt like reconnecting with a long-lost and now new friend. We always felt safe and in very capable hands—he handled the boat with the confidence and ease of a true master. He was also very responsive before and throughout our stay. Both Shawn and Ludi were especially kind and attentive with my son when he got a bit too much sun. Meals were simple and home-style, and while not gourmet, we appreciated they were sharing what they themselves eat. If you’re looking for an authentic, laid-back sailing experience and are comfortable with close quarters and a more informal setup, highly recommend.

Wonderfully trip! Shawn is an outstanding host, extremely nice and caring, great hospitality! Excellent snorkeling and kayaking, beautiful islands, very interesting to get to know local culture. Great food by Ludi, she is also super nice. Highly recommended!!!

What an amazing and unforgettable experience on the Kismet with Shawn and Ludi! Shawn and Ludi made us feel right at home and were fantastic hosts! Shawn recommended a company to get to the boat and everything went extremely smoothly, just getting to the catamaran is an adventure by itself :) We spent four beautiful days onboard and visited a different beach/island each day! Great snorkeling every day and we saw seaturtles, sharks and lots of beautiful fish. Ludi is an excellent cook and the food was delicious. Shawn and Ludi made this truly such a great experience and I hope our paths cross again somewhere in the world. My kids, husband and I can highly recommend to stay with them! If we can we will be back! Do not miss out on this amazing experience and book with Shawn!

Precious moments were spent aboard the Kismet, where we enjoyed our own private quarters and were truly pampered by our wonderful hosts, Captain Shawn and Ludi. As we sailed through the stunning waters of San Blas, we relaxed on comfortable bean bags and ended each day watching the sunset and gazing at the stars. Shawn took us to several unique snorkeling spots where we admired beautiful coral and vibrant fish. Meanwhile, Ludi prepared delicious meals that ensured we were never hungry and patiently helped me practice my Spanish. So many memorable moments were made on this trip. A bucket-list experience that was not only met, but exceeded. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend the experience in San Blas. The boat corresponds exactly to the photos, with comfortable and well-maintained space. The hosts are super nice, with great energy, they make everything light and pleasant from day one. It was a special experience — I miss it already.

He is the best.

We had a wonderful 6-night stay on Shawn's catamaran. Ludy prepared good meals for us. Shawn showed us around several paradise islands of the SanBlas. Shawn was attentive and offered us activities every day: snorkeling, kayaking, beach. Really a nice week.

We felt right at home! It was a unique and unforgettable experience, we would definitely come back! The islands we visited were each more beautiful than the last. Shawn and Ludy are the best hosts, super helpful at all times, 5-star food! We stayed 4 days and if we could we would have stayed more days! We spent Christmas together, a beautiful night! We snorkeled, kayaked and did more activities! A dream trip!!! Hope to see you again soon! Gina and Jony :)
