Day 1: Fly into Tucomen International Airport (PTY) where you will be met by one of the great holiday Representatives. The representative will provide you with a pouch that contains vouchers and information about your trip. From the airport you will be privately transported to The Bristol Hotel. The hotel is situated in the Financial District of Panama City and is a very upscale hotel with outstanding 5 star service. The Lounge Bar downstairs offers guests a fantastic relaxing mood with up beat lounge music serving International beverages. The Bristol is a place were great service meets great quality and where guests can have their own Eden in Panama.

Day 2: Wake up and enjoy an early breakfast as today you will transit the canal in your yacht where you will be spending the next week exploring the Caribbean Islands of the San Blas.

The San Blas Islands are a tropical paradise and untouched by man as the Kuna Indians native to Panama live here. You will be transported to the pier where you will jump aboard the Monohull 62' Golden Eagle (see below). You will be raised through the locks and lowered until you reach the Caribbean opening of the Panama Canal, here you will set sail for the San Blas. Below you will see the map of your proposed route around the San Blas.

Many people dream of sailing around deserted white sanded islands, and this is exactly what you will be doing on this package!! Whether you are an expert or a complete beginner do not worry as this boat comes with a captain and an assistant who will do all the work for you if you want.

You will spend the next 7 days sailing around the San Blas Archipelago which consists of 365 idyllic islands where you will encounter the Native Indian tribe called the Kuna. The San Blas in 1938 became an autonomous Indian territory and only Kuna live and work here. You will find no 5 star hotels or anything of this kind. The Kuna still live like they used to live.

The San Blas is as perfect as it gets, you will snorkel on white reefs, swim in clear turquoise waters, see a variety of tropical fish, dolphins and turtles and hopefully catch some fish for dinner!! Your Sailing Charter Includes: Experienced Captain, bedding and towels, fuel, fresh water tank supply, dinghy, 2 seat-kayaks, snorkeling gear, fishing lines and tours. All meals and drinks on board also included.

Your Captain on your adventure will be Peter Rippingale, an Australian who holds the latest UK licence for Yachts to 3.000 gross tons. He has lived aboard for over 20 years working in the Charter Yacht industry worldwide since 1985. He speaks English and a few words of every other language.

Day 3 - 9: Enjoy your trip around one of the most beautiful areas in the world. Sun bathe, swim, learn the local Kuna Indian language. Use the kayak to paddle to local islands where nobody lives and explore the uncharted territory of the San Blas. Listen to Pete's tales of his sea adventures and where he has been (or where he has not been).

It does not get much more relaxing than this!! If you want to Scuba Dive as well this can be organised.

Day 10: Fly back to Panama City and spend your last night in Central America's most lively city. Stay at the Bristol Hotel. You may wish to rest or do the Folkloric Dinner show where you will see original dressed Panamanians dancing the night away.

Day 11: Wake up and have breakfast before the trip back to the UK. As always everything great must come to an end, but we hope that your Kuna is sharp and you are relaxed and ready to go back to your busy lives. Privately transfer to Panama City International Airport and have a safe flight home.
