Outstanding Experience - From start to finish, Jenny and the rest of the team were outstanding. Our driver was early navigated the messy carnaval traffic returning back to our hotel! Please book this, you won’t regret it. The views are beautiful, nice people and very professional. Lunch is included but you may want to bring snacks since it’s 7-4:30 (pickup/drop off).

A fantastic day trip on... - A fantastic day trip on board Jennys catamaran captained by David Juan ! Collected by minibus in Panama City by a top class bloke called Harris who was an absolute gent ! Travelled across the country to Portobello and had a great chat with Jenny who is a wonderful person who has worked hard and achieved a fantastic life which she clearly Loves ! Everything went so well ! Had a beautiful lunch cooked by Jenny , snorkelled around the corals and had swimming along the mangroves and moored up in a little beach where we could swim and snorkel around the corals ! A credit to Jenny and David Juan ! I had my father of 83 years with me and a very safe and wonderful memory with all aboard ! Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of doing the trip ! Well done to Jenny and all the team ! Damien …. Ireland ☘️☘️☘️

An unforgettable day - During my time on the Catamaran, I felt very connected to nature. The attention of the crew on board is very good, they are nice people with very good talk and are interested in reporting details of the very interesting history of the places that are toured. The very pleasant trip, the Catamaran is very safe and allows interaction between the people we travel. The lunch they offer is fresh, prepared on board and... delicious. Highly recommended for single people, couples, families and even friends. It's an unforgettable journey.

Awesome snorkel & catamaran sail in Portobelo - We really enjoy the trip and would recommend it. We had a private driver taxi us from Panama City and then we hopped on the catamaran with Juan David in Portobelo. He was great and made the experience awesome from snorkeling in the mangroves to seeing a sloth in a cove where we snorkeled and had lunch. Super fun trip!

Great crew, amazing views - a must do!! - It was an excellent day with friendly and amazing crew and driver - from pick up to drop off. We were lucky that we were the only 2 guest on the day of our excursion, making it a charter experience. The lunch was amazing and had paddle boarding and kayak on board.

Excellent experience - This adventure was incredible. Captain Juan David knows his way around driving the catamaran and dinghy. Spent time floating in the beautiful lagoon and exploring the beach before a delicious lunch. Captain and Jenny were friendly, informative and welcoming.

Fantastic Family Day - Our family had a fantastic time snorkeling, swimming, and playing in the Blue Veins and corral reefs. The captain and crew were very accommodating to all of our request. This excursion was one of the best day trips we did while vacationing in Panama. Highly recommend!
