Do not risk your holiday in San
Today at Clickandsailing you can find a wide range of companies where you can rent your sailboat or catamaran to spend one or more days with your family or friends.
Just make sure that the company you choose confirms that their boats are authorized by the Guna General Congress. Without this permission, you risk being denied entry into the area or even getting into trouble on the sailboat or catamaran.
Click and Sailing assures you that the boats, sailboats or catamarans that we offer you have the appropriate permits, so you will not have any problems.
1. Why is the Guna Congress License required?
The Guna General Congress regulates tourism in San Blas as follows:
Protect the culture and autonomy of indigenous peoples.
Preserve the marine and terrestrial ecosystem.
Ensure safety standards on ships.
Operating without a license is illegal and puts both travelers and the local population at risk. In 2024, 8 boats were confiscated due to lack of permits , leaving tourists stranded without logistical support.
2. Risks of choosing an unauthorized operator
a) Fines and confiscation
Surprise inspections are common. If the boat is not licensed to operate , you could lose days dealing with legal procedures in remote areas.
b) Safety in the game
Illegal operators often omit the following:
Proper boat maintenance.
Updated emergency equipment.
Training the crew in first aid.
c) No support in case of emergency
In case of mechanical failure or medical problems, unauthorized companies do not provide 24/7 assistance, leaving you with limited resources.
