The first time we heard about crossing the boarder from Panama to Colombia with a sailing boat, passing 2 days on the magic caribbean islands of San Blas, we decided: this is a must on our trip! There are several boats and captains offering this, some with great, some with bad reputation in the web... There is a nice hostel, called mamallena, in Panama City which provides all backpackers with the information, departures and descriptions of all boats, which is very useful.
Well, we have the option between 3 boats, which leave around the date we want. One of them, Ave maria, was out from the beginning because of bad things in the web. The next, Fritz the Cat, with an austrian captain, seemed nice and we booked it also because of the quite cheap price of 480USD, but then we read also some strange things about him. And as we really want it to be THE perfect trip, we discussed again and decided to take the even more expensive boat called One World, departing on the 4th of may. Now we are happy, hopefully chosen the right boat ! ;-)
