What is a sailboat charter

Adventure, freedom
and the real sea

A sailboat charter in San Blas is the most authentic way to experience the archipelago. A monohull cuts through the water under sail, heeling gently with the trade winds — a feeling no catamaran can replicate. You feel the ocean, not just observe it.

The entire boat is exclusively yours. Your captain knows every island, every shallow anchorage and every hidden beach only accessible by monohull. Ideal for couples, small groups of friends and anyone who wants a genuine sailing adventure rather than a floating holiday.

How to choose

Sailboat or catamaran?

Both are amazing. Here is an honest comparison to help you decide.

⚓ Sailboat — best for

  • Authentic sailing feel — heeling, spray, wind
  • Most affordable private charter option
  • Access to shallower, more remote anchorages
  • Couples and small groups (2–6 people)
  • Adventurous travellers who want the real thing
  • Less living space than a catamaran
  • Higher motion — not ideal if prone to seasickness

🈴 Catamaran — best for

  • Maximum space and stability on board
  • Private en-suite cabins for every couple
  • Families with children — very stable
  • Larger groups (4–12 people)
  • Those who prefer comfort over adventure
  • Significantly more expensive
  • Less of an authentic sailing experience

FAQ

Sailboat charter
questions answered

A sailboat charter means renting an entire monohull exclusively for your group. You get a private boat with local captain and crew, on-board accommodation, all meals and snorkeling equipment — sailing through 378 pristine islands at your own pace.

Private sailboats start from $650 for 2 guests plus $100 per extra person per day. Shared berths start from $220 per person per day. All prices include crew, accommodation, meals and snorkeling equipment.

It depends on your priorities. Sailboats offer the most authentic experience at the best price — ideal for adventurous travellers and smaller groups. Catamarans offer more space, stability and comfort. Both are wonderful.

On a private trip the entire boat is exclusively yours. On a shared trip you book individual berths and share the boat with other travellers. Shared trips are more affordable and social; private trips offer total flexibility and privacy.
