Our commitment

Sustainable & Healthy Travel

At San Blas on Sailboats, we sail in harmony with the ocean, respecting nature, cultivating wellness, and creating authentic connections with the Kuna people.

Each journey is designed to care for the environment and ensure that every trip leaves only footprints in the heart, not on the land.

Responsible Anchoring & Snorkeling
We drop anchor only on sandy areas to protect coral reefs. Guests are guided to explore responsibly: avoid touching coral, use reef-safe sunscreen, and leave nature untouched.

Plastic-Free Living Onboard
We eliminate single-use plastics with biodegradable and reusable products. Drinking water is filtered onboard so guests can refill bottles safely.

Eco-Friendly Cleaning
All cleaning products are biodegradable, and we use natural sponges and compostable tools to avoid harmful chemicals.

Nourishing body and soul is at the heart of our sailing experience. Every meal reflects sustainability, health, and the vibrant local flavors of Kuna Yala.

Fresh & Local Ingredients
Organic fruits and vegetables, freshly caught fish from Kuna fishermen, and wholesome staples like legumes, oats, nuts, and tropical fruits.

Dietary Options
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free menus available. Each dish is balanced, nourishing, and full of flavor.

No. Lady Lou is a private sailboat, reserved exclusively for your group. Perfect for couples, families, or friends traveling together (2 to 4 guests).

Up to four guests. Ideal for couples, families, or small groups of friends.

Two private cabins. One ensuite bathroom for guests and a second bathroom shared with the crew.

100% homemade meals with fresh ingredients, including fish, seafood, and vegetarian options.

Small groups, homemade food, minimal plastic use, flexible routes, and a deep connection with nature. We live on the boat — this is our home, not just a job.

We accept PayPal, Wise, Payoneer, and cryptocurrencies. A 20% deposit is required to confirm your booking. The remaining balance is paid in cash upon arrival or on the boat.

If Lady Lou is already booked, we work with a carefully selected network of sailboats and catamarans in San Blas — personally vetted for quality, kindness, and authenticity.

Life on a sailboat is more like a motorhome on water than a hotel. We use solar energy, have limited fresh water for showers (drinking water always available), and spaces are minimalist but well organized. Most of the time: swimsuits and bare feet.

Transfers require some physical effort, so basic swimming and water skills are needed. We minimize plastic use and ask guests to bring reef-safe sunscreen.

Yes! Children are very welcome. San Blas is perfect for families, with calm waters, snorkeling, swimming, beach time, and beautiful islands to explore together.

The main shower is outdoors, which is common on sailboats in San Blas. We also have an indoor shower available. Fresh water is provided every evening, and we simply ask guests to use it responsibly.

Rain is part of Caribbean life and usually passes quickly. Activities normally continue as planned, and no refunds are provided due to weather conditions.
