What Each Range Really Includes (No Surprises)
The cuisine in San Blas is truly based on seafood: fish, lobster, octopus, and other fish prepared in various ways and with different side dishes. Fruits like pineapple are undoubtedly among the most delicious in Panama. But you can also sample other dishes and international cuisine, as the captains and sailors of the boats come from different countries.

"Last year, a group of 4 French backpackers showed us that with the tourist range and $15 per person for snacks and drinks, you can eat like a king without breaking the bank."

Questions You Should Ask Yourself Before Booking a Boat in San Blas
How much is your vacation time worth?
Calculate: 2 hours a day of shopping and preparation × 5 days = 10 hours lost. Is it worth saving $200 to lose 10 hours of paradise?
What souvenir would you like to take home?
Ask any seasoned traveler: they never remember the money saved, but they do remember that perfect dinner under the stars.
Does everyone in your group have the same tastes?
Our premium and luxury ranges allow for complete customization. From vegans to those with celiac disease, everyone eats like royalty.
What if I want something special?
Our luxury chef can prepare everything from sushi to paella. Just tell us what you dream of eating.
The Anecdote That Changed Everything
Last month, a couple in our luxury range asked us to create a surprise anniversary dinner. Our chef crafted a seven-course menu using local ingredients. When the dessert was served—a chocolate sphere that melted to reveal passion fruit ice cream—the bride burst into tears of joy.
Those tears are worth more than any discount.

Advice from a Captain with 12 Years of Experience
"I see two types of customers," Captain Miguel recently told me. "Those who choose based on price, and we end up talking about food. And those who choose based on experience, and we end up sharing unforgettable stories."
Don't Make the Mistake of the Rushed Traveler
The rush to book often leads to poor choices. Take an extra 10 minutes and ask yourself:
Am I buying a boat or am I buying souvenirs?
Because at the end of the trip, what you'll remember won't be the price paid, but the flavors you tasted, the toasts you made, and the laughter around the table.
