Traveling with children to San Blas: a family adventure in paradise
If you’re looking for a safe, paradisiacal, and adventure-filled destination to enjoy with your family, San Blas is the perfect choice. Its crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and the relaxed rhythm of life at sea make it the ideal setting for unforgettable holidays with children.
A Safe Paradise for Kids
One of San Blas’ greatest advantages is that its islands are small, calm, and free from danger. The waters are shallow, with no strong currents or waves, making it perfectly safe for children to swim and play.
Each boat’s crew is used to hosting families and will do everything possible to ensure both adults and kids enjoy the experience. Many boats also offer activities such as snorkelling, paddleboarding, and island exploration, so little adventurers can have a blast.
Boats with Families Onboard: A Unique Exchange
Some of our boats are home to families who live onboard with their children. This creates a unique opportunity for visiting kids to play and explore alongside other young sailors, learning what life on a boat is like while discovering the islands together.
Family boats: Comfort 73, Family Cat 44 , Beneteau 411 & Hanse 630e
Special Discounts for Families
To make travelling with kids even easier, we offer special discounts:
- 50% off for children aged 2 to 8 on most boats

A Trip Kids Will Never Forget
Waking up surrounded by the sea, exploring deserted islands, learning about Guna culture, and living the boat life as a family will make this trip unforgettable for the little ones.
If you’re looking for a family adventure that’s different, exciting, and worry-free—San Blas awaits you with open arms.
