Our boat

Meet Shakira, a 1980 Nautical 56 monohull

Shakira has crossed oceans and now spends her days between the islands of Guna Yala. She is a classic sailing boat with warm wood, a spacious front deck and room for eight guests to enjoy time on the water.

Life on board

There is an indoor saloon for cards and coffee, and a shaded outdoor area where most days are spent. Meals are served in the outside shaded cockpit, snorkel gear is available, board games are waiting to be played and the swim ladder is always down.

An outdoor freshwater shower rinses off the salt at the end of the day, and three toilets on board mean you are never waiting in line.
