Your San Blas Islands Vacation
In Expert Hands
Behind Trip on Boats, it’s us: Stellie, Exequiel, and the Guna people.
For years we sailed and worked in Guna Yala as captains, chefs, hosts, and guides. We know every vessel, have explored every island, and traveled every route — and we understand from the inside what makes an experience truly unforgettable.
From that experience, we know exactly what it takes to deliver a first-class service in San Blas: one that combines flawless organization, personalized attention, and complete peace of mind.
We personally know every captain and crew of the vessels we offer, and every corner of Guna Yala. We never recommend anything we haven’t experienced ourselves. Every service we offer has been tested and validated by us.
If you’re looking for more than just a simple tour — personalized attention, tailored recommendations and itineraries, and support throughout your San Blas vacation — that’s exactly what we do.

I’m a chef and sailor, with thousands of miles navigated across the Caribbean, the Pacific, and the Mediterranean, and a career built through charter experiences around the world.
In Guna Yala I found more than a destination: I found a place to belong. By living alongside the local community, I built genuine bonds that today give meaning to every experience I create.
My mission is to design authentic experiences in San Blas, and to be with you every step of the way.

I’m a captain with several oceans sailed and years of charter experience in various tourist destinations around the world, especially in San Blas.
I know the waters of Guna Yala and all its safely navigable routes in detail. I work as a team with fellow captains, with whom I maintain bonds of trust, respect, and collaboration — allowing us to guarantee safe, well-planned, and high-quality voyages.
My focus is on delivering exceptional sailing experiences and flawless itineraries, taking care of every detail so that everything flows just as it should.
Local Partners from
Guna Yala
At Trip on Boats, we don’t do this alone. Everything you experience on board is made possible thanks to our partnerships with the Guna communities: leaders, families, fishermen, transporters, and guardians of the sea. They guide us, supply us with fresh fish, help us move between islands, and open the doors of their territory with respect and generosity.
This is not just tourism — it’s real collaboration. Every experience is born from a relationship built on trust, fair exchange, and admiration for their culture. We don’t come here to impose anything; we come to learn, share, and contribute. Together, we are building a more human, more authentic model of travel that truly leaves a positive mark on the local community.
