Overview

Set sail with us to explore hidden Caribbean gems only accessible by sea! With 20 years of experience navigating these waters, we’ll guide you to vibrant marine spots far from the crowds.

This tour explores two stunning and contrasting locations: Playa Drake, known for its incredible snorkelling, and Venas Azules, a turquoise lagoon surrounded by mangroves. Both are part of the unspoiled Portobelo National Park, rich in biodiversity and natural beauty.

If you choose the pickup option, we’ll collect you directly from your hotel and take you to the historic town of Portobelo—founded in 1597 by the Spanish to defend against pirate invasions. From there, we’ll cruise towards these breathtaking destinations on a catamaran, raising the sails whenever the wind allows.

During the trip, you’ll have the chance to swim, kayak, paddleboard, or simply unwind on the catamaran or beach. Perfect for adventurous travellers looking for off-the-beaten-path experiences and a deep connection with nature!

Activity itinerary

Portobelo

Here, you can see Spanish defensive fortifications built 500 years ago. It's part of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. From here you will get the speedboat to the catamaran (2 minutes ride).
Isla del Padre
  • 3h
Once on the catamaran, we will do a briefing and sail for almost one hour to the first stop: Venas Azules. Our first stop is Isla del Padre, also called Blue Veins. Blue Veins is a lagoon of mangroves with crystal-clear water and a white sand beach. Here we’ll explore the lagoon by dinghi. Then we will sail to our next stop Playa Drake for 20 mins.
Playa Blanca

Playa Drake is a tropical white beach, named after the pirate who died not far from there. Here, you can go snorkelling and observe beautiful corals and fish. You can also swim, do kayaking, paddle-boarding, or just enjoy the beach. We will have lunch on the catamaran and then we will sail back to Portobelo (30 mins).

The crew and captain on this excursion were absolutely amazing — kind, skilled, and clearly passionate about what they do. Jenny, the coordinator, also seemed wonderful and helpful during the booking process. That said, we unfortunately had a disappointing experience due to the weather. There were active thunderstorms in the area, and when I reached out to Jenny with concerns, I was told this was “normal for the rainy season” and not a problem. However, when we arrived, visibility was very poor, and we noticed we were one of the only boats out on the water — which immediately felt like a red flag. The stormy conditions made the experience feel unsafe at times, and we couldn’t really enjoy the views or water activities. While I completely understand that weather is out of anyone’s control, I do feel strongly that we should have been offered the option to reschedule for another day with safer, clearer conditions — especially given the no-refund policy, which made us feel stuck. If the weather had cooperated, this could have been a 5-star experience thanks to the incredible crew. I would just caution others to ask clearly about the weather policy before booking and consider scheduling this earlier in your trip in case it needs to be moved.

The overall experience was a good would, and I would recommend as an option to see the Caribbean coast of Panama. The driver was on time, and got us to where the boat met us in a timely manner. It is a long drive though! We stopped half way at a market which had a good bathroom and was a great option for snacks - it’s a long day so I would recommend having snacks because by the time lunch comes around you’ll be hungry. Lunch was good especially considering we were on a boat. It does take a long time to get out to where you make your first stop, and it can be bumpy so bring medicine if you get sea sick. We felt very safe with the transport both on the boat and the drive out. All in all, it’s a long day, they offer a lot, and it’s a good way to see the Caribbean coast if you want to just stay in Panama City for your stay

I would recommend this 100%. We had beautiful day on a catamaran, such blue blue water! Saw so many fish while we were snorkeling! The food that was made for us was delicious. I can't saw enough good things about the day we had.

From start to finish, Jenny and the rest of the team were outstanding. Our driver was early navigated the messy carnaval traffic returning back to our hotel! Please book this, you won’t regret it. The views are beautiful, nice people and very professional. Lunch is included but you may want to bring snacks since it’s 7-4:30 (pickup/drop off).

A fantastic day trip on board Jennys catamaran captained by David Juan ! Collected by minibus in Panama City by a top class bloke called Harris who was an absolute gent ! Travelled across the country to Portobello and had a great chat with Jenny who is a wonderful person who has worked hard and achieved a fantastic life which she clearly Loves ! Everything went so well ! Had a beautiful lunch cooked by Jenny , snorkelled around the corals and had swimming along the mangroves and moored up in a little beach where we could swim and snorkel around the corals ! A credit to Jenny and David Juan ! I had my father of 83 years with me and a very safe and wonderful memory with all aboard ! Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of doing the trip ! Well done to Jenny and all the team ! Damien …. Ireland ☘️☘️☘️

It was an excellent day with friendly and amazing crew and driver - from pick up to drop off. We were lucky that we were the only 2 guest on the day of our excursion, making it a charter experience. The lunch was amazing and had paddle boarding and kayak on board.

Great tour, with excelent lunch cooked at the boat. Could be better with a shower to take the salt off the body after swimming.

Beautiful location, felt remote in a very peaceful way. The crew was so kind and helpful. We were a bit confused at times during the transportation- all went smoothly, but there are a few different touch points before getting on the catamaran. Very easy to communicate with the coordinator, so we recommend asking as many questions as you have so that so you feel comfortable.

The entire team was wonderful. From the beginning we wanted a chill adventure; not a party day. And that is exactly what we got. From the day prior to the end of the trip communication with the team was absolutely incredible. I knew every step along the way and felt very safe with this company. Once on the boat we got to experience a lot of beautiful scenery in the blue veins, snorkeled among the mangroves and saw many beautiful creatures along the way. The food was also delicious. Would recommend!!
