Sail San Blas with Quest

A 5-Night Adventure between Cartagena and Panama

Comfort • Space • True Expedition Spirit

Embark on an unforgettable 5-night sailing journey between Cartagena, Colombia and Puerto Lindo, Panama. With Quest, you experience a cross-continental voyage through the stunning San Blas archipelago — a remote Caribbean paradise of over 350 islands, home to the indigenous Guna people. We’ve been exploring this tropical paradise since 2012, and offer a unique and elevated San Blas sailing experience.

Unlike typical backpacker trips, Quest offers a rare combination of comfort, space, and personalized adventure—all at a competitive price. Our 64-foot expedition yacht is one of the most spacious boats operating in the region, but we welcome only 10 guests per trip, ensuring plenty of room to relax.

Expect fresh Caribbean inspired meals, shaded deck lounge, and a captain with global expedition experience. We have private cabins, two bathrooms, and a powerful watermaker onboard, giving you access to unlimited freshwater showers—a true luxury at sea.
