THE BOAT:
The 2018 Leopard 40 catamaran offers excellent value and unmatched comfort for exploring the San Blas Islands. The catamaran is offered exclusively as a private rental only, which means you will not share the boat with any other guests.
One of the unique features of new Leopard catamarans is the front door to exit the saloon onto the front deck. The front deck is designed to be the main lounging space with large sunbathing mattresses covering the entire deck space as well as outdoor bean bag chairs and cushions on the trampoline. The top roof deck features additional sunbathing mattresses.
ACCOMMODATES:
The catamaran accommodates up to 8 adults in 4 double guest cabins.
CABINS:
Guest cabins offer excellent views through large windows as well as ventilation from top hatches and port windows.
Full curtains offer privacy and darkness to sleep in while the cabins are cooled with marine industry leading air-conditioning powered by a new quiet generator. Guests have the entire starboard hull just for them, with two cabins and one private bathroom. The third guest cabin is located in the port hull.
There's 2 bathrooms to share, one in each hull. Each bathroom has hot showers, electric flush toilets, and excellent ventilation.
FOOD:
Onboard the catamaran, you will enjoy a unique culinary experience with fresh seafood, caught directly during the trip.

The Crew
Main Cook and Hostess: Berenice “Anghie” Reyes
Anghie was born in Panama city, Panama. She has been working as a cook and permanent hostess on the boat since 2024. She has food handler certification, and extensive cooking experience (more than 10 years) on land and at sea. She specializes in Panamanian, Latin and International food. She can cater to anyone's needs, including vegetarian, gluten free, kosher etc... Most of the guests praise her for the quality of her food and ingredients. Anghie speaks native Spanish, and English.
These 3 captains will alternate skippering this boat:
Antoine Woestelandt
Antoine was born in Moselle, France.
Quickly, his interest for the ocean became a passion and he learnt sailing from a young age. He was introduced to the sponsoring world though an inter-school regatta (with "Voiles de Vauban" team in Luxembourg), and at 19 years old, raised funds for his own sailing adventure through the Mediterranean sea. He then started to teach sailing in a charter organization in Greece. With years of experience on various monohulls and this catamaran, Antoine is a solid captain. He also specializes on technical support for boats (mechanic, electricity and water management). Antoine speaks native French, English and Spanish.
Jean-Christophe “JC” Lambert
JC was born in Brittany, France. Like any Breton, he is passioned about the ocean and enrolled at 7 years old at the Fogeo sailing school in Morbihan. He did regattas as a child / teenager, and did his military duties with the french “Marine Nationale” on the Atlantic coast. He has experience in multihulls (Leopard 40) and monohulls (Dufour 32, Beneteau Oceanis 46). He sailed mainly in the Atlantic coast of France and in the Caribbean. Passionate about languages, he speaks native French, Spanish, English, and Portuguese. And since he did his University in South China, also Mandarin and Cantonese.
Thomas Sejournet
Thomas was born in Brittany, France. Born in a family of sailors, he did learn to sail early in the Gulf of Vannes in Morbihan. His passion for boats and sailing lead him to make his interest a profession. He has dedicated himself to charter sailing boats in the Caribbean, and has been doing it in San Blas over the last 5 years. Thomas is experienced in both monohulls (Dufour, Catalina) and catamarans (Nautitech). He has a wide experience in customer service (cooking as well) and has experience in boat servicing and technical management. Thomas is fluent in French, Spanish and English, and has the French certification Capitaine 200.
Madeline
Never in my wildest dreams did I think l'd get to experience *actual* paradise on a gorgeous catamaran. I'm so grateful to have learned about this boat (soon to be renamed Venecia!) and experience two nights at sea with Giorgio, Anghie, and JC. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience that I cannot recommend enough. I just wish I had more time! The catamaran itself is spotless, incredibly comfortable, great shower, has AC, and multiple areas to sit and relax (the prime spot is of course the top deck). They are equipped with all the machines you could ever need (fresh bread, anyone?), and a Starlink so you could even work if needed. Anghie's cooking was superb. She always ensured I was set with a drink or meal (lobster tails, seafood salad, fresh fruit and granola, patacones, etc). And you know the meal is going to be legit when the local Kunas sell lobster, crab, and octopus straight from the sea onto deck. Truly fantastic and so lucky to be leaving with three new friends!
Will
Admittedly I was a little nervous about sleeping on a boat in such a remote location, but I was immediately blown away. 10/10, one of the best trips I've ever taken. This is what Airbnb should be all about -- one of a kind experiences with a host that really cares. The boat was quite nice. It had showers, locking bedrooms with windows, a front deck, back deck, etc. It was perfectly clear and had every amenity I needed. It must have been a very expensive boat. It seemed to be brand new or very recently purchased. It was also quite private. My girlfriend and I had all the space and privacy we wanted when it was time to relax and avoid the crew. Food was excellent and healthy, the crew had excellent service, and San Blas was amazing. Stellar snorkeling, spear fishing, kayaking, etc. I write such a long review because I'm so grateful to Giorgio and the team. Really a one of a kind that I am grateful for and vigorously endorse!
