Bocas del Toro Catamaran Day Tour | Boat Trips Club

Tour Highlights

⛵ Sailing, not motoring

Engines only to clear harbor and approach docks — the rest runs on wind.

🌊 Two hulls, no rocking

The smoothest ride in Bocas — twin hulls don't roll like the pangas.

👥 22-guest max on a 42-foot deck

Room to move, compared to 30–40 packed onto speedboats.

🍝 Lunch cooked fresh on board

Included — no surprise restaurant bill.

🛁 Two private bathrooms

Not a panga problem.

☀️ Sun or shade, your choice

Two shaded cockpits plus a sunbathing trampoline.

About This Tour

The catamaran sails when a minimum of 8 guests are booked. We confirm departure 48 hours before sailing. If we don't reach minimum for your date, we offer a free reschedule to a confirmed date or a 100% refund — your choice.

Six hours across the Bocas del Toro archipelago, three iconic stops, and lunch cooked on board. Sailing — not motoring — with engines used only to clear the harbor and approach the docks. Twin hulls mean guests prone to seasickness consistently report feeling fine on the catamaran versus the Bocas pangas. A 22-guest maximum on a 42-foot deck keeps it comfortable, compared to the 30–40 packed onto speedboats.

High-season departures (Dec–Apr, Jun–Aug) nearly always sail with full minimum. WhatsApp us to check current bookings for your date before reserving.
