PANAMA LAS PERLAS ARCHIPELAGO ISLAND-HOPPING AT ITS FINEST

This page was translated automatically from German. View the original

The LAS PERLAS ARCHIPEL is 35 nautical miles from Panama City, south of the hurricane zone, so we can run trips all year round without worry. We weigh anchor shortly after you come on board. We usually anchor alone in secluded bays or in the lee of uninhabited islands.
Our catamaran measures 16.8m×9.1m and glides through the sea without rolling; the larger the vessel, the less motion and seasickness (this is where the Pacific was named by Balboa in the 16th century because the wind usually comes from land and therefore there is little swell).
We have been sailing here for many years and know the most beautiful beaches and snorkelling spots! We live permanently aboard – you can try out our way of life without substantial financial risk! What you want to try is up to you! Fuel, bed linen, towels, tea, coffee, drinking water, soft drinks, 3 meals daily are included. Everything included, no hidden additional costs. Please let us know what you like to eat so we can shop accordingly!
We sail from the anchorage at Amador (30 minutes by car from PTY airport, Tocumen) to the Las Perlas Archipelago (more than 200 islands, mostly uninhabited) and visit a different island each day: Mogo Mogo where Survivor and Castaway were filmed, St Telmo with the oldest submarine wreck in the world (built by a German engineer in New York in 1865), Isla Gibraleon known for the reality show Swiss Family Robinson. In December, January and February we observe whale sharks and the brave ones swim with them! Humpback whales can be seen almost all year round. We snorkel amongst the large fish shoals of the Pacific.
Full board includes fresh fish caught on board, slow-grown roast beef, beef stroganoff, seafood offered by local fishermen, poultry, tropical fruit in the net for self-service, and fine fresh vegetables, salads – we enjoy cooking! Lemonade, iced tea, coffee, water, tea, ice unlimited and included. Fresh sourdough wholemeal bread baked on board for breakfast! (the owner is a restaurateur from Vienna who has sailed his own catamarans through the Red Sea, Mediterranean, Atlantic and Pacific for more than 10 years in the Caribbean)
Airy cabins with queen-size beds, large single and double berths, two trampolines on deck for sunbathing, relaxing, even at night under the starry sky!
Please bring desired alcoholic drinks (buy them at the supermarket or duty-free), we provide the ice!
Our crew member José cooks, bakes, maintains the engines, cleans and you can concentrate on nautical activities or just unwind – relax… as you please and as is your birthright! A small tip for José (approx. 7 per day per crew member) should be budgeted for…
