About the Fleet
Usually in couples, sometimes alone or
assisted by a Guna apprentice, they are the owners of the sailboats that will
welcome you to discover together the San Blas archipelago and its Guna Indians.

Most of them have sailed a lot (some
have even made a circumnavigation), and will share with you their passion,
making you discover the magic of San Blas. The choice of your hosts is as
important as the choice of your sailboat.
There are many sailboats that can be
taken on a “shared
formula”. |

Thee fleet counts with sailboats, monohull
and catamaran of different sizes, comfort and budget sailboats.

The Season
Panama is protected from hurricanes
and storms and therefore the charters are available year-round. However, 2
seasons prevail:
High Season from December to April: it is
the season of the trade winds (North / East wind), which means regular winds and
little or no rain. Visibility under water is not the best and there is some
current: It is the ideal season for truly sailing enthusiasts!
The rest of the year, winds are milder and
there are scattered showers (nothing too dramatic): the visibility under water
is much better with the possibility of exploring the “outside” of the reefs,
there is more light and sunset is sometimes spectacular: it is the best season
for spear fishing, coral reef exploration and marine fauna discovering.
There are more solitaire anchorages because it is low season which means
attractive rates.
2009-2010: Year of “El Niño”.
The 2009-2010 season is affected by the “Niño” phenomenon. In San Blas,
that means only a few rains and a drier ending of fall. The rest of the country
suffers from a lack of rain and the land is dry. However, further south near the
Ecuador, heavy rains are announced.
Temperatures vary a little depending on the
seasons: the average daytime temperature ranges are from 82°F to
95°F and average sea temperature goes from 77°F to 82°F.
No vaccination is really necessary for
Panama City or the area of San Blas. However, please consult the correspondent
authorities before leaving your country.
