The Crew
Join Manuel and María Ángela, a welcoming Argentinian couple, aboard The Kaya, a 40-foot catamaran that cruises the idyllic San Blas Archipelago in Panama. Manuel, a seasoned sailor with 47 years of experience, will captain your adventure, while María Ángela, a skilled navigator and chef, will ensure your comfort and culinary delight.
Together with their charming 7-year-old daughter, Franchesca, they invite you to immerse yourself in a tropical paradise. Explore pristine islands, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, or paddleboard through serene lagoons. On board, unwind to the rhythm of good music and savor a diverse menu featuring fresh, local cuisine, vegetarian options, and authentic Argentinian dishes.
Rocio
Manuel and Marie make the stay truly pleasant. Manuel sails and takes you to the islands, and even goes snorkeling with you. Marie works magic in the small onboard kitchen, preparing wonderfully varied meals—not the monotonous food you often find on the islands. They also accommodate dietary preferences. Super friendly and never intrusive. You can have nice conversations with them, but they also have a sense of when you want to be on your own. You can relax on the net at the front of the boat or go swimming at the back. If you're staying for several days, you'll visit different spots. It’s definitely worth it.
Ricardo
Manuel is a great captain with a lot of sailing knowledge and very attentive. María is amazing—she made our days unforgettable, a great chef—and of course, Francesca is super sweet. I would always come back. Thank you!
Mario
Everything is wonderful—Manuel with his kindness and willingness to meet every need, and María with her gourmet dishes in the middle of the sea. The scenery is spectacular, and the comfort of the catamaran is sensational.
Guillermo
Everything was excellent. Manuel and his wife were very accommodating. The food was delicious. We had a great time.
