What To Expect During Colombia To Panama Sailing

By Marissa Velazquez


If you are looking for the best adventure in available seas, then Colombia to Panama sailing is probably the best trip for you to take. It involves sailing into the open seas from the coast of Colombia, through the beautiful islands of San Blas where you can mingle with the native Kuna tribe and ending up in the ports in Panama. It is definitely worth a try.

The best places where you can get more information about this activity are in the guest houses that accommodate visitors near the departure city. Here, you get various alternatives which you can choose from depending on what you prefer. You can decide to fly using a chartered flight over the seas especially if you are really busy and your visit is official. It is a very costly affair though.

Speed boats, locally known as lanchas, offer a very fast alternative on the water. However, the ride is very rough and you may not enjoy it at all. Hiring a sailboat can take you anywhere from 4 to 5 days on the water, while you sample and enjoy every type of adventure that there is. It gives you ample time to spend your money as you wish.

Although not as expensive as a flight, sailboats require that a person cough up a large amount of deposit before the journey, and the rest when the journey is complete. Moreover, you will be required to spend cash especially in local Islands where you will be tempted to buy the crafts that are sold by the natives, perhaps as souvenirs.

It is important for you to book your sailboat in time before the scheduled day of departure. You can do this through the hostels that are located at the port where these vessels depart from. Ensure you have a boat reserved for you as well as a Captain and relevant staff. They impact very heavily on how your tour will be.

It is important that you have a very qualified Captain who is conversant with the waters and the environment in general. He should be able to tell when a storm is coming thus advise you not to venture into the waters. Also, he should point out to you the safest and richest locations in the sea where you can enjoy snorkeling to the maximum. At the Islands, he should be able to bargain for your curio and souvenir prices so that the locals do not take advantage of your visit.

Make sure that you have carried all the things that you will need for the trip. This is because there are no shops or ATMs in the course of the journey where you can buy anything. Pack up some extra snacks and drinks in case you want to add to the food that you will be offered in transport boats.

Every boat offers Colombia to Panama sailing services has a limit of passengers they can carry. You may be required to share beds or cabins so be prepared for that. It may not be comfortable, but the enjoyment and experience received is well worth it.
