What is a shared trip

Same paradise,
shared adventure

On a shared sailing trip you book your own private berth on the boat and share the experience with other independent travellers — typically 4 to 8 people in total. You keep your own sleeping space while enjoying meals, island visits and activities together as a group.

It's the most social way to sail San Blas. You'll meet travellers from all over the world, share stories at sunset from the deck, snorkel on the same reefs and explore the same hidden islands — all at a fraction of the cost of a private charter.

Many of our guests who book shared trips end up becoming close friends by the end of the journey. San Blas has that effect on people.
