Welcome aboard Ni Banu - the vessel that will get you to experience one of the world’s most beautiful coral reef archipelagos as very few do, sailing from island to island enjoying utopian landscapes, while learning about the deep-rooted traditions that have permitted the Kuna Yala natives keep their culture and land intact over time.
Known as the San Blas islands, this pristine coral reef archipelago lies along the Caribbean coast of Panama, in Central America, and it belongs to the indigenous reservation of Kuna Yala. If you didn't know this paradise existed, it is because the Kuna Indians have kept the islands out of outsiders' reach for the better part of the last century, and thus they have stayed well preserved and unspoiled.
Ni Banu Charters offers the unique opportunity to privately charter a 43 ft. sailboat to get to know and enjoy these paradisiac islands at leisure. Picture yourself on a sailboat, overlooking coconut palm islands surrounded by the clearest turquoise water. You’re sipping on a cold beer waiting for the freshly caught lobster dinner that captain/chef Javi is cooking up for you. The sun is setting, but you can make out the silhouettes of the Kuna fishermen rowing home in their one-piece ulu boats. It’s a scene reminiscent only of a fairy tale; yet, it is real. All you have to do is come experience it for yourself!
