Do you want to relax, lie in a hammock with a good glass of wine, read a book and look out over gorgeous islands with white beaches, and enjoy the beautiful sunset? Lounge at night on the foredeck and look at the stars? Or would you prefer to go to an island, drink from a fresh coconut, walk in clear blue water of perfect temperature with the starfish on the white seabed? Or maybe you would like to be more active, go snorkeling or freediving, swim, and enjoy a beautiful reef with its colorful fish? Or kayak, paddle board, or motor-dinghy to or around an island, just enjoying paradise? Try sailing the boat yourself? Spot a dolphin swimming alongside? Fish while underway or at anchor? We make it happen.
The possibilities are endless. If you would like us to bring you with a mat to one of the beaches for yoga at sunrise, we´ll do. How about a birthday or anniversary celebration with a cake and balloons? A bachelorette party or honeymoon? Or an unusual business meetings on board, volleyball at dawn, and a fishing contest? We have the gear. Do you want to sail? We make it possible. Or maybe you just want to take a rest. We have multiple options for that. You can lie down in the hammock, on the trampoline in the front, the sundeck on the back, but of course also on a beach or private room with bathroom, air conditioning, or breeze.
Being in paradise does not only mean gorgeous views and doing what you love, but also being on this private luxurious catamaran, the ZENITH, eating exquisite food, and drinking what you like. Whether it is a full breakfast, an appetizer, a good quality dinner or a picnic on one of the islands, all our foods are of high quality. If you want fresh lobster (almost always available), brought aboard live, then this is the place. Lobster as well as our Captain’s famous beef filet BBQ are both grilled on the stern. We also have a huge variety in soft and alcoholic drinks. Paradise for all of your senses.
what makes this charter 5 star?
Food includes a wide selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, premium meat and fresh seafood, popular appetizers, anytime snacks, as well as fish and lobster are procured alive. The Captain's barbecue filet de res (beef filet) barbeque is grilled to order. Because we shop fresh for each charter, we create unique seasonal menus. We always send a food survey, to accommodate your dietary preferences and restrictions.
The ZENITH provides air conditioning - AC on request without extra cost. AC is included in the cabins before sleeping, or all night if you prefer. AC is also provided in the salon when requested for indoor breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Or for an indoor movie or game night. There are also two quiet electric fans in each cabin.
We only use purified, bottled water, that is specially brought aboard for drinking and cooking. An onboard icemaker makes ice from bottled water for use in your drinks. ZENITH is the only catamaran at San Blas with such a safe, bottled water policy.
Toilets are modern with electric flush. We also provide flushable toilet paper, so no messy trash bins. Few, if any other charter catamarans at San Blas have this capability.
A watermaker onboard makes the fresh water from seawater for the showers and bathrooms, therefore, there are no fresh water limitations due to tank capacities. Hot water is provided at the bathroom showers and washbasins. An outdoor fresh water shower is located at the swim platform.
Free Wi-Fi hotspot for messages such as email, WhatsApp, Kakao, and Instant Messenger, including WhatsApp phone and video calls. Note that to limited infrastructure at San Blas, the signal will be intermittent at certain areas, and not sufficient for websites or streaming. If a connection is important, the itinerary will be designed accordingly.
110v electrical outlets and two high speed (2.4 amp) USB mobile phone charging ports are provided in each cabin. Your 110v hair dryer may be used in your cabin, and an onboard hair dryer is available for your use.
You are welcome to participate in sailing the catamaran, including setting and weighing the anchor, setting the main and jib sails, and taking the helm (steering). Free lessons.
An acoustic Guitar is onboard for your use.
The ZENITH carries more water toys than any boat at San Blas! This means that small groups have more choices and can select what fits them best. Large groups can do more together.
Select from 3 kayaks (for 3, 2, and 1 person) and 3 fiberglass stand up paddleboards of different lengths, therefore up to 9 persons can row on the water together. We also have a motorized dinghy (small fast boat for up to 8 persons) to shuttle you to-from the beach, to reefs for snorkeling, or to pull you on paddleboard rides. The dinghy has a side boarding ladder, so you can climb in from the water.
There is snorkeling equipment (masks, tubes, and fins) that are clean and in good condition for everyone and every size, along with sport lifevests. The snorkeling equipment and life vests are also provided in children sizes.
A huge sunshade can be placed over the forward trampoline, so once you have had enough sun, you can enjoy lounging in this popular location without getting burned. Portable recliner seating is provided, for use anywhere around the boat.
If you like to fish, there are (2) 100# and (1) 50# outrigger poles fitted at the stern, and (2) 30# hand held fishing rods, in addition to (8) “Cubano” hand-held reels. Lures, a net, a pole hook, and fight belt are available.
A hammock, wide enough for two persons, can be hung above the trampoline. Two yoga mats. A beach volleyball.
Drink coolers with ice and cups for beach use. Individual beach mats for each person, plus a large beach mat for groups. Two beach sun umbrellas.
Inflatable feature floats with air compressor. Floating straws. Boogie boards. Sand toys for any young children.
Onboard sound system covering 3 separate areas (the bow trampoline, the stern cockpit, and the indoor saloon), plus a boom box for beach use (all use Bluetooth). Different areas of the catamaran have their own volume control, and a stern subwoofer. So if you want to party, you can party aboard!
We will play music from your phone (your music must be stored on the phone or on a USB stick, streaming online is not available at San Blas). A selection of CDs is also provided for your perusal.
