Cuba to Panama
3 free spots
Route
We are starting off by exploring eastern Cuba and provisioning for our crossing to Panama. Taking our time, so everyone gets to know the boat and waiting for a favourable weather window. We then sail down to Panama, either nonstop, or stopping in Jamaica, depending on the weather. This should be a pleasant five day sail. In Panama, we are exploring a little bit of the northern cost and make our way to the famous San Blas archipelago, consisting of hundreds of small, uninhabited islands will coconut palms, and famous for retaining their indigenous way of live until today.
Activities
You are joining real live aboards and we take things slowly - there is no daily program and we will not organise activities for you. Mostly, you are completely free to do what you like. Take the dinghy to go spear fishing, go hiking or to a museum or head over to the beach bar, work a couple of hours on your computer or do nothing at all. Of course many activities will be done together though, it is more fun! Snorkelling, free diving, spear fishing and boat fishing will keep us occupied for sure. It will be a mix of visiting remote places and coming across bustling hubs like eastern Cuba or Panama City every once in a while. A multiple day sailing passages between Cuba and Panama.
Travel to and from the Boat
The closest Airport for the arrival will be Holguín or Santiago the Cuba or the capital Havanna, connected from the east of the island by Bus and inland flights. The closest Airport for departure will be Tocumen International Airport (PTY).
Requirements
You do not need any sailing experience. You should absolutely be interested in the underwater world and willing to learn, but experience is also not required. You must be able to get a visa for Cuba, Jamaica and Panama.
