Panama’s San Blas archipelago is one of the most beautiful — and pristine — corners of the Caribbean sea.

And now there’s a new way to explore this spectacular chain of islands.

Dream Yacht Charter has launched a new charter cruising base in Panama’s San Blas Islands, offering skippered, all-inclusive crewed yacht charters.

Dream Yacht Charter’s base has launched with a fleet of four catamarans highlighted by a Lagoon 500.

It’s a new way to access a truly untouched part of the region.

“Our customers will enjoy discovering this serene cruising ground with its remote beaches, quiet and secluded anchorages and due to the Guna people, there are no chain restaurants and hotels dotting the islands,” said Loic Bonnet, founder of Dream Yacht Charter. “It will allow them to disconnect from everyday life and connect to an island paradise untouched by massive tourism.”

It marks the latest expansion for the company, which has more than 1,000 yachts across 50 destinations worldwide, including a significant presence in the Caribbean region.
