Hi,

I'm trying to organise a sailing trip from Panama to Columbia in the next few days and have gotten some responses from boats. I just wanted to get some feedback from people who have travelled with these boats/captains so I can choose the right one (been reading some horror stories so wanted to do some research).

La Perla del Caribe with Captain Jules

Northern Drifter with Captain Sebastien

Delfin Solo with Captain Tahsan

Any advise would be great. Thanks in advance!

There is a plethora of reports from bad to great in the FAQ. But I would book thru a hostel that knows the captains and hears back from clients/guest on how it was or was not, safety is a major concern, and the food...dont shop price, shop safety, seaworthiness and a captain crew thats not strung out on coke with hookers every night...
