An experience of a lifetime. Jepi’s catamaran is top shelf: beautifully maintained and designed. He and his crew seemed to be in 10 places at once, always attentive to our safety, comfort and bellies! The food and service were extraordinary. I think they even arranged to starry nights and crystal clear water. The feeling of sailing into the feeling of sailing into the dawn was spectacular. Wish there were as many stars to give as in the sky!

We would book with this company based on their reputation based mainly on reviews and their own experienced recommendations.
From the start both Jepi and Virginie were a pleasure to work with displaying honesty and integrity when we were mistakenly quoted and invoiced the wrong price (High)
We trusted Virginie’s recommendation to fly into San Blas as well we very much appreciated her assistance along the way including a few days before departure when we discussed onboard preferences.
The boat came as described and the experience for the first few days was excellent with a very credible and likeable top notch crew.
Unfortunately, the boat also came with a rogue, greedy dishonest owner who saw fit to purposely double book the boat on the last day which included evicting us to wait for our flight on a different runway then we had been scheduled to fly out of.
The owner would refuse to compensate us and although they admitted to double booking the boat they insisted on retaining the $900 we paid for an extra day onboard!
Jepi has indicated he will be removing their boats from the website and decline to do business with them – and in the end after much discussion he was able to get the owners to relent and return $250 which he also graciously agreed to match.
His matching contribution and pursuit of the customer experience goes towards his integrity and character as a human being and ones confidence in the company he operates.
We made the right choice in booking with this company and our experience in the San Blas was memorable and highly recommended. We wish to thank Jepi and Virginie for all their efforts!

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Spent 3 nights and 4 days with Charli and his awesome crew, Charli took us to some beautiful islands and great snorkeling spots. We spent the days exploring, paddle boarding, playing volleyball with the locals. 3 Fantastic meals a day and was never left hungry or thristy! Charli was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, fun, considerste and more than happy to take us wherever we wanted to go, he also taught me some valuable lessons in backgammon.
The catamaran had plenty of room and was more than big enough for the 10 of us, we all had our own room and bathroom. Thank you Charli and your crew for showing us the beautiful San Blas Islands and making it a truly incredible experience

The best! We chartered the boat for one day with our group of 9 friends and we had the best time ever. We visited the beautiful islands of Coco Bandero were we did some snorkelling after which we got served a delicious paella accompanied with freshly caught crab. After this we sailed back to our final destination close to an island where we watched the sunset and had dinner on a small island. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely no words can describe this. It was the best experience, and we are so grateful to Paolo and Sophie for ensuring we got to experience it.
Once we got onboard, we got shown around the stunning (new, updated, spacious and very luxurious) Catamaran. We set sail for an amazing and beautiful ride out to our first island, where we got to meet amazing Kuna people, snorkel, swim, see fish and birds, and play on the most beautiful beach.
The next day we visited 2 more islands, ending at our own fully deserted paradise, with coral reefs all around.
For dinner that night Captain Paolo went spear fishing, catching an amazing red snapper. Throughout our 2 nights on the Catamaran, we got to eat courtesy of the best chef in San Blas. Sophie's cooking was only topped by her friendly nature, and willing to accommodate feeding a family with 2 children (one 4 year old who decided to be slightly picky).
For food, we had yummy chicken curry, pasta, salads, and fresh fish. And by fresh, we had the Red Snapper that Paolo caught that day, as well as fresh tuna that was caught on the way to pick us up. This included an amazing tuna ceviche, tuna steak, and tuna sashimi.
Sophie, and Catpain Paolo have been in San Blas for so long, that they are friendly with many of the Kuna people, with the locals even joining for a beer one night, and also welcoming us in to their homes with open arms.
Our initial booking had to be changed last minute, and instead of cancelling, Catamaran San Blas, our initial Captain, and Captain Paolo and Sophie, sorted out a solution amongst themselves and gave us an update without us even knowing about all the hard work that they had done to make sure we got to have this amazing vacation.
I truly don't have enough words to praise this experience, so will leave you with a few photos, that just touch on the beauty of San Blas and the amazing care we received from Captain Paolo, Sophie and Catamaran San Blas.

We arrived on a perfect April day at San Blas and have been welcomed from Mateo and Monica with fresh fruits. They showed us the best spots to spend time, play volleyball and do some snorkeling. We also had SUP wich was much fun to do and also a great transportation method to the islands. Food was absolutely delicious and fresh every day. It might be hard for us to do any other type of vacation in the future- thank you Monika, the beste chef on a boat and Mateo, the funny captain.

Absolutely loved this trip! The cabins where we slept were very cozy and comfortable. The crew was fantastic. It was the first time I snorkeled in a living coral reef and it was breathtaking. On top of that, the vegetarian options were great. The stand-up paddle boards were an amazing addition to the experience! Loved it, 100% recommended. Thank you Jepi and crew!
