Home / San Blas

Paradise exists

Warm waters, islands and coral reefs

San Blas is an archipelago of hundreds of islands off the coast of Panama, the territory of the Guna Yala people. White sand, palm trees, coral reefs and turquoise waters that are best experienced from the sea.

Aboard Margarita you will sail among islands, reefs and incredible landscapes, discovering places that can hardly be experienced the same way from land. Waking up facing the sea and sailing every day to a new paradise.

Flexible sailing

Planned flexibility, not improvisation

We do not publish a fixed itinerary: it is a product decision, not a limitation. Each day the crew suggests the best route according to the weather, the state of the sea and what the group wants to experience.

Sailing is continuous between the islands of the archipelago, to make the most of each day and discover different landscapes. And when conditions allow, we stay longer at the islands you want to enjoy at a slower pace.
