Boats in Cayos Los Grullos

One of the nicest boats in San Blas with a very experienced sailor and great cook!

The best way to explore the beautiful San Blas Islands is by sail boat! And Manuel and Maria are the best hosts you can wish for.

This was an absolutely spectacular trip!! The sailing boat was beautiful and very comfortable, you really don’t need much when you’re in paradise!! Guadalupe & James were amazing and made us feel at home. They knew everything about the San Blas Islands and we’re very popular with the Kuna community. James is a great chef and we all really enjoyed his food, we even took a few recipes home with us. The San Blas Islands are probably one of the last untouched and non-commercialised places on earth, I really hope it stays like this and those that visit respect and want to take care of such a beautiful place

If you’re looking for the perfect boat to explore the San Blas Islands, stop searching — this is it. Sailing with Paul and Daniela aboard Play to Live was the trip of a lifetime — one we’ll never forget. From the moment we stepped on board, they made us feel completely at home. They’re warm, generous, and truly passionate about what they do. The food was unforgettable. Daniela made delicious meals — pasta, handmade pizza, fresh salads — and we devoured everything she made. And Paul’s pancakes? One morning, with a palm-covered island in the background and coffee in hand, we had tears of joy. It was that perfect. Paul is an incredible captain — experienced, making us feel safe every step of the way. Together with Daniela, they took us to quiet, untouched islands with no crowds, just pure natural beauty. They shared fascinating stories about the Kuna people and their way of life, which made every stop even more special. We snorkeled over vibrant coral reefs, swam with stingrays, and even learned a bit about sailing. In the evenings, we sat under a sky filled with thousands of stars. Being the only guests on board made it feel like a completely private experience. Paul and Daniela tailored the trip to us, making sure we had the best time — even when we found ourselves dancing around on the boat in pure joy. If you want to disconnect, experience nature, eat amazing food, and be guided by two genuinely amazing people, Play to Live is the perfect choice. The San Blas Islands are a hidden gem, and this is the best way to explore them.
