On private catamaran to Carribean beaches in Panamaa - Here’s a corrected version of your text: "The tour offers a relaxing sailing experience on a private catamaran, complete with snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking. You'll explore the Caribbean beaches and enjoy a homemade lunch. Pick-up and drop-off at the hotel are included. The crew is awesome!"

Caribbean Panama - This was a wonderful day to spend a Saturday in Panama if you want to see some of the Caribbean beaches and have more of a authentic local experience. We were able to look at some of the clear inlet waters and do some snorkeling, and Spent the rest of the day at Playa Blanca. The beach was very peaceful and we were able to do some snorkeling, relaxing, and the provider made us a nice lunch. Juan David and Charlie took great care of us The entire day. This excursion included transport to the port and from the port back to our Airbnb and made everything really easy. Our Driver Manuel Made several stops for us to get food and bathroom trips on the way to the port. I highly recommend This excursion for the value and everything you get to do.

Perfect way to explore Venas Azules! - We really enjoyed the Catamaran Experience, even though it was relatively expensive for the duration, but we got to do different things. We also got lucky because we traveled only the 2 of us so we had the boat to ourselves aside with the captain & skipper. We aldo could go kayaking and paddle boarding together as there was only 1 of each.

Excellent day on the Carribean - Our Catamaran trip with Jenny and Captain Juan David was wonderful! It started with pick up at our hotel and a 2 hour drive towards Porto Bello, an start to the beautiful Caribbean. We swam in a peaceful lagoon, went fishing, snorkeled, hunted for sea shells,, swam and went swinging on a beach that is only accessible by boat. My son caught a fish which Jenny cooked for us! It was delicious! The Caribbean is very beautiful but a bit rough so bring your band/motion sickness meds just in case!

Catamaran fun! - The day on the water was so much fun!! Lucas and Juan-David were so friendly and welcoming, as well as informative about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed swimming and snorkeling, as well as the delicious lunch prepared by Lucas! Who knew that such wnderful food could be prepared in a catamaran? We highly recommend this excursion when visiting Portobello!

Surprise Surprise - Short on time in Panama City?! Then I would suggest this tour. Though the boat is a bit older and not what I expected, it was comfortable and the captain and staff were amazing. Venas Azules and Drake beach are an adventurous hidden wonder. And the drive from the city to Colón was gorgeous and showcased areas of real Panama. Would definitely do this again.

A noisy day - They played loud music all day on the boat, forget nature and quietness. Our group consisted of noisy Americans drinking tequila at 9am in the morning. The food was very basic. Overall I was disappointed specially considering the price paid.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM - If this is the same company in instagram @catamaran_experience.pa I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM. It was a horrible experience. 14 people group, we fully paid 48 hour before the trip. The night before the trip, Jenny contacted us saying the speaker was not working and we accepted a small one (we all know good music is a must). The trip day when we all 14 with a good mood, expecting to have a great trip, 30 minutes before to arrive “Portobello” (after 1 hour from Panama City) she contacted us again saying the Yatch bathroom was not working!!! Come on guys!!! No bathroom??? It was a full day trip, drinks, food… we tried to agree for a discount or a additional solution and she offered $4 discount per person and change the stops to have a public bathroom close in a different Island. This was a BIG change in our trip. We discussed internally with the 14 people group and Jenny started pushing to have an answer in 5 minutes and with a very rude attitude. So, because her attitude, we decided to cancel the trip and she refund us. The only good point was the transportation from Panama City to Portobello and viceversa, the driver was very friendly. Obviously was a external contractor and she asked a picture of us when back to the City, to paid the transportation contractor. Jenny, customer service is not your best skill.
