Star Clippers
Star Clippers offers an experience that combines modern sailing with the classic in an extraordinary way. Our sailboats use wind charts to dock at small piers or in ports where larger ships cannot access. At the same time, our vessels have been designed with all modern advancements, comfort, and services you would expect to find on a luxury yacht. Our routes through Costa Rica and Panama have been hugely successful and take place during the winter season. The idyllic beaches and ports in Central America such as Playa Tortuga, Isla de San José, provide the opportunity to sail along pristine coasts with crystal-clear waters.
Nature lovers appreciate the port of Quepos near Manuel Antonio National Park, where there is a great variety of birds and mammals. Our cruise through the Panama Canal is an iconic journey and one of the most booked by our customers, as it provides a different perspective to explore this famous marvel of engineering. We promise you an intimate and unique experience that can only be lived on a sailing trip like ours. Embrace the life of a sailor by hoisting sails, tying knots, climbing the mast to enjoy an unparalleled view, or simply relaxing to the rhythm of the waves and letting yourself be carried away. You are free to enjoy your time on board as you wish.
