Pepita Catamaran
Location
Corazon de Jesus (Nargana) (San Blas and the South-east, Panama)
Description
Pepita is a safe catamaran because of her light displacement and speed under sails. Gilbert is the French captain who has been sailing in the islands for many years and as such he knows many of the Kuna families. He speaks excellent English and Spanish. Adeline is the French hostess who provides all the meals, often with the catch of the day. All meals and drinks are included.
Capacity
6 passengers in 3 cabins
Activities
There are 2 twin kayaks and snorkelling equipment. Visits are made to both inhabited and uninhabited islands and there are many fantastic snorkelling opportunities.
Accommodation
The three cabins are not huge but ample enough and there are 2 shared bathrooms. There is no air-conditioning.
Our comments
A great way to discover the variety of the Islands and the trip can be tailored to your interests - whether you prefer more water activities or would like to visit Kuna families. It's a great option for families or groups of friends who want to charter the boat together.
When to go
An all year round destination, although seas can be choppy and sometimes there is not enough wind to sail.
