Sail with us as crew on our Central American Voyage

This Winter, the schooner NEPTUN will embark on an unforgettable voyage along the Pacific Coastline, exploring a region where ancient history, vibrant cultures, and stunning natural beauty converge to form the closely nestled string of nations known as Central America.

After the voyage, the plan is to lay the ship up at a shipyard in Panama!

Sail through the Panama Canal

Have you always dreamed of sailing through the Panama Canal? Then now is your chance.
This October, NEPTUN sails through the Panama Canal to continue the cruise on the Pacific side of the canal.

Central America - Pacific side

After transiting the Panama Canal and spending some time exploring Panama, the vessel will continue along the Pacific coast of Central America, travelling the length of the coastline and visiting a myriad of places in-between.

Golfito 🇨🇷 Costa Rica

The hidden gem of Golfito in Costa Rica boasts beautiful beaches, vibrant rainforests, and a laid-back atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxation and adventure. Experiencing Golfito should be on the top of every Central American explorer’s bucket list, as it is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica as well as lush rainforests that are teeming with life. In addition to its natural beauty, Golfito also offers a rich cultural experience, and visiting the town’s historic landmarks and exploring its culture and history is definitely a must. Spend your days lounging on the white sand, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, or trying your hand at surfing. With its tranquil beaches, lush rainforests, and serene atmosphere, it’s the ideal place to explore, relax and unwind.

Bahia del Sol 🇸🇻 El Salvador

Located 30 minutes from El Salvador International Airport and 60 minutes from the capital of El Salvador, Bahia del Sol lies on the Costa de Sol peninsula, midway along the El Salvador coast, surrounded by the immense Jaltepeque estuary and populated by intricate and impeccable mangroves. Unlike the rocky formations and cliffs that characterize the eastern and western shore of the country, this area is surrounded by a beautiful valley with a pristine 15 kilometres long beach, considered to be the natural jewel in the central area of El Salvador.

Marina Puesta del Sol 🇳🇮 Nicaragua

Nestled in a beautiful azure lagoon on the pristine north Pacific coast of Nicaragua, this picturesque location is offering its full service, modern, and protected marina while retaining the “off the beaten path” exclusivity of a remote paradise. Welcoming travelers and adventurers from the four corners of the world, Puesta del Sol lies in close view of the San Cristobal volcano, the highest volcano in Nicaragua, and in close proximity to Corinto, Nicaragua’s largest and only Pacific port.

Ship Yard 🇵🇦 Panama

Stay on board as we finish our Central American Voyage and return to Panama, where NEPTUN will carry out its major refit. Here, a new keel will be constructed and a new rig will be made - converting NEPTUN into a schooner brig!
