OUTSTANDING!!! Claudio and Laura welcomed us in to their lovely home to spend two days sailing in San Blas for our honeymoon. As soon as we arrived, Laura prepared delightful bruschetta (and a few beers!) before we set sail. We lazed on the boat reading books, kayaked, snorkelled (to see amazing starfish) and visited local people on the islands (where you can purchase beautiful handmade jewellery). Laura and Claudio provided us with more lobster than we thought possible - cooked in a different way for each meal. They also provided beers, wine and (quite a few) rums! Our favourite was the lunchtime rum! Our cabin was comfy and we had our own private bathroom. During lunch and dinner, Claudio and Laura dined with us and told us their incredibly interesting life stories. They are fantastic company! If you visit Laura and Claudio, be sure to ask Laura to make her homemade foccacia - it is amazing! Highly recommend this amazing experience. Thank you Laura and Claudio!

Claudio cancelled our reservation the night before. In actuality, he only told me he had to cancel after I messaged him the night before confirming we were all set. He was planning on letting us arrive to the port and then stick us on another (worse) boat when we had no choice/options. He said he preferred to take another group to us. We're pretty easy going travelers but after flying all the way to Panama, staying in Panama City for a couple nights, arranging for the tough journey from Panama City to San Blas, it is completely unacceptable to lie to people like that and not follow through on confirmed and paid-for reservations. For what it's worth, we were able to contact Rafa/Esmerelda from Click and Sailing and they welcomed us last minute and made for a fantastic trip- would highly recommend them. But as for Claudio- you can not trust him and should not book. Who knows what'll happen when you arrive.

Staying with Claudio and Laura was a dream! They were incredibly welcoming and kind. The food was divine - fresh lobster, homemade focaccia, fresh fruit. We had an amazing time chatting with them over meals and they knew exactly when to give us the perfect amount of privacy. They were very accommodating to any of our needs (honestly, we did not have to ask for anything - it was already there!) On day 1, they fed us fresh-baked bread and set us up on the front of the boat with a shady area to nap (much-needed after the ~5 hours trip from Panama City). We were then able to explore the sand bars and swim before a fabulous dinner. Day 2 we moved to a different set of islands that allowed us to bum around on the beach, which was exactly what we wanted! At each of the bigger islands, there is generally a little place to sit and have a $2 beer, which was nice. If you're looking for a gorgeous boat, lovely hosts, and spectacular food, set in a fantastically breath-taking landscape of remote islands - BOOK NOW!

Claudio and Laura are wonderful gracious hosts. They welcomed us aboard their beautiful boat with overwhelming hospitality. We admire their lifestyle and experiences. We enjoyed all of the meals we had onboard especially the handmade pasta! The San Blas islands are gorgeous and it was such a pleasure to be able to go ashore some of the islands and explore and learn about the native Kuna people and their way of life. We really enjoyed our time aboard it was a very comfortable stay. Thank you to Claudio and Laura, we had a wonderful time and hope to see you again!

As avid travellers, our experience with Claudio and Laura was one of the most unique experiences we have ever had. It was a cross between a private cruise on a catamaran and being invited into someone's home. Arrangement of land and boat travel was smooth with good communication throughout. We were greeted by Claudio and Laura at the first island which was the common connection site. The catamaran was immaculate. Upon boarding, we were offered homemade bread that had just come out of the oven with tomatoes and olive oil. We were then asked whether we wanted to sail or have lunch. We chose to sail, and immediately had a sense of what the next three days were like. Claudio and Laura made it a point to sail a couple of hours to different islands to optimize our experience. We lay out on the front of the catamaran and took naps. Our first lunch consisted of grilled lobster and fresh vegetables. When Claudio and Laura learned we loved lobster, we proceeded to have lobster cooked in different ways every single day of our trip. They also cater to vegetarians and those with dietary restrictions. The water was clean and the shower was hot with great water pressure. Our first island had starfish and we docked right on the beach. It was surreal. Our second island housed a Kuna family that were close friends with Claudio and Laura and we got to learn about their fascinating culture. Dinner the second night consisted of lobster cooked in wine and butter and this time we had fresh homemade focaccia bread. Our third day, Claudio and Lauran took us to an island with a reef where we snorkeled. We had the entire island and reef to ourselves. we swam in the mornings and napped in the afternoons. For our last dinner Laura and Claudio showed us how to make fresh pasta. We were constantly check on, offered wine, rum, beer, water. We had fresh fruit for dessert with every meal that had been purchased off of the "floating market." Food is very important to me, and dinner was spectacular. we have videos of the tutorial. Claudio and Laura are also some of the most experienced sailors in the area and know the intricacies of the area and their fellow sailors and Kuna family, and they are held with high respect among everyone. They are often consulted by others on their routes and plans. This was an experience the far surpassed our high expectations.
