We’ve been sailing this area for 20 years, and we will take you to beautiful Caribbean beaches that are only accessible by sea, no road can get you here! We will explore two very different spots: Playa Drake, a Caribbean beach with spectacular snorkelling spots, and Venas Azules a turquoise lagoon of mangroves. Both places are part of the Portobelo National Park, where nature is still virgin and a lot of species are living here.
If selected, you will be picked up from the comforts of your hotel, and dropped off to Portobelo, a historic port that was built by the Spanish in 1597 to protect the town and its treasures from Pirates' attacks. During our tour, you will get the chance to swim, do paddle-boarding, kayaking, or also just to relax on the catamaran or the beach.
We will navigate from Portobelo to our destinations on catamaran, and when enough wind, we will open up the sails.
If you’re a traveler looking for unique spots off the beaten path and love boating, this is your trip!

We had a wonderful time on this full day excursion! Jenny and Juan David run a lovely operation! The boat was a nice size, the bathroom was very clean, the fresh cooked lunch was delicious and the areas they took us to were stunning. Juan David made sure that we saw a sloth on some low tree branches right on the beach, pointed out a stingray while we were traveling through the mangroves on the dinghy and harvested some avocados from one of the islands for us to enjoy during lunch. The whole experience was a delight!

Jenny und ihr Kapitän sind super freundlich und entspannt, allerdings sind die beiden Spots etwas ernüchternd. Für weniger Geld wäre es vollkommen in Ordnung gewesen.
