Island Snorkelling

Today we sail to the San Blas Islands, starting with the Coco Bandero Cays. These stunning islands are surrounded by a vast reef nestling in gin-clear waters, extending for miles around the cays.

Holandes Cays

Barrier Reef

The Holandes Cays is a small archipelago of paradise islands, protected by a barrier reef stretching for 7 miles. These islands are the furthest from the Panama mainland, offering excellent fishing and snorkelling in clear waters. The crew will take you to Swimming Pool Anchorage and Isla Benedup, unmissable stops here. Adventurous charterers can head north to find a tunnel that crosses beneath the entire reef.
