With vast Pacific and Caribbean coasts, wild rivers and vast inland lakes, it's no surprise that Panama and Nicaragua are seen as world-class sailing destinations. Float along the jungle-clad Chagres River, traverse the iconic Panama Canal or sail around Nicaragua's Corn Islands in a traditional Miskito boat. There's plenty of unique ways to add a little sailing adventure to your Central American vacation.
At Vapues Travel, we're always on the lookout for sailing experiences with a difference, from interesting day-trips to overnight catamaran cruises around the Caribbean. We work with some of the finest small-scale operators and local crews you'll find in Nicaragua and Panama, so you can sit back, relax and watch the world glide by.
Take a look at a few of our favourite sailing experiences to whet your appetite.
