We’ve been sailing this area for more than 15 years and will take you to beautiful Caribbean Beaches only accessible by sea. There is no road that can get you there and the nature is still virgin.
Pick-up is at 7am at your accommodation in Panama City, and we'll drive almost 2 hours to Portobelo, which is a historic port built by the Spanish in 1597. If you don’t need pickup, we will meet you at the dock at 9am, and will get to the Catamaran by speedboat. First we will sail to Venas Azules (50mins), a mangrove lagoon characterised by turquoise water that we will explore by dinghi (1.5 hour). After the lagoon excursion, we will be back to the catamaran and sail to Playa Drake (30mins), where you can snorkel and observe pristine colourful corals and fish, do paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing on the boat or beach (2.5 hours).
After that we will sail for 30 minutes back to Portobelo.
If you’re a traveller looking for unique spots and love sailing, this is your trip!

Here’s a corrected version of your text: "The tour offers a relaxing sailing experience on a private catamaran, complete with snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking. You'll explore the Caribbean beaches and enjoy a homemade lunch. Pick-up and drop-off at the hotel are included. The crew is awesome!"

Short on time in Panama City?! Then I would suggest this tour. Though the boat is a bit older and not what I expected, it was comfortable and the captain and staff were amazing. Venas Azules and Drake beach are an adventurous hidden wonder. And the drive from the city to Colón was gorgeous and showcased areas of real Panama. Would definitely do this again.

This was a wonderful day to spend a Saturday in Panama if you want to see some of the Caribbean beaches and have more of a authentic local experience. We were able to look at some of the clear inlet waters and do some snorkeling, and Spent the rest of the day at Playa Blanca. The beach was very peaceful and we were able to do some snorkeling, relaxing, and the provider made us a nice lunch. Juan David and Charlie took great care of us The entire day. This excursion included transport to the port and from the port back to our Airbnb and made everything really easy. Our Driver Manuel Made several stops for us to get food and bathroom trips on the way to the port. I highly recommend This excursion for the value and everything you get to do.

We really enjoyed the Catamaran Experience, even though it was relatively expensive for the duration, but we got to do different things. We also got lucky because we traveled only the 2 of us so we had the boat to ourselves aside with the captain & skipper. We aldo could go kayaking and paddle boarding together as there was only 1 of each.

Our Catamaran trip with Jenny and Captain Juan David was wonderful! It started with pick up at our hotel and a 2 hour drive towards Porto Bello, an start to the beautiful Caribbean. We swam in a peaceful lagoon, went fishing, snorkeled, hunted for sea shells,, swam and went swinging on a beach that is only accessible by boat. My son caught a fish which Jenny cooked for us! It was delicious! The Caribbean is very beautiful but a bit rough so bring your band/motion sickness meds just in case!
