Overview

⛵ Banana Travel presents: Catamarán x San Blás

7 Days / 6 Nights – Panama City & Caribbean Island Sailing

Trade the everyday for turquoise water: a week that starts in colonial Panama City and continues aboard a private catamaran through the postcard-perfect islands of San Blás.

We land in Panama City and settle into the Magnolia Inn, right in the middle of the Casco Viejo colonial quarter, with an afternoon walking tour through its colorful streets and dinner & drinks by the bay.

The next morning we board the Sea Gypsy catamaran and set sail for the San Blás archipelago, home to the Guna Yala people. Over five days at sea we island-hop through Coco Bandero and Holandés Cays, snorkel over untouched reefs, kayak around Cayo Limón, share beach BBQs and sunsets on the sand bank, and sleep at anchor under the stars.

We close the trip back in Panama City with one last dinner before flying home — sun-soaked, salt-kissed, and already planning the next Banana Trip.
