San Blas Yacht Charter Prices
San Blas charter prices depend on the yacht, the number of guests and the season, and we publish them in USD so nothing shifts with an exchange rate. The Sun Odyssey 44i starts lowest, the Leopard 42 sits in the middle from around $1,200 per night, and the Sunreef 62 is the highest because of the space, the air conditioning and the tenders. Every rate is for a private charter of the whole yacht, not per cabin.
What the nightly rate includes: captain and cook, all meals on board, drinking water, coffee and tea, fuel for normal cruising, bedding and towels, snorkelling equipment, paddleboards and the dinghy transfers to the islands. That covers almost everything you do during the day, which is why most guests spend very little once they are aboard.
What is quoted separately: Guna Yala community and island fees, which the Guna administration collects per person and per island; alcohol and special provisioning; the private charter flight or the 4x4 and launch transfer from Panama City; and optional extras such as diving with an external instructor. We list these as line items in every offer instead of folding them into one number.
Charter length affects the price per night. Three nights is the shortest week we run and carries the highest nightly rate; five to seven nights is where the rate per night drops and where the archipelago actually opens up, because you can reach Cayos Holandeses, Coco Bandero and the eastern islands without rushing. High season runs December to April, when demand and rates are highest.
For an exact figure we need three things: your dates, the number of guests, and whether you want the flight included. Send those on WhatsApp and you get a full breakdown the same day, with the yacht rate, the fees, the transfer cost and the total in USD.
