Boat - Colombia to Panama
 

Just came over from El Porvenir to Cartagena on "Stahlratte", a huge boat crewed by lovely people. It´s returning to Panama on the 1st December. There is room for up to 17 guests and probably quite a few motos. Cost: $275 pp & $150 per bike. This was a very comfortable and safe sailing option via Las Islas San Blas. Good company and nice German food, especially the coffee! All proceeds go to preseving this 100 year old vessel. PM me for more info. and pictures/telephone numbers etc.

Where did you take care of customs for you and the moto?

Oops!!
 

Sorry, that should read $275 per person!! I have changed it now.

Hello mate, yeah, customs and all that is taken care of by Manfred, a large German. Cost per bike was $10. I´ve done this trip twice now, and this was easily the best experience.

Sounds sweet.
How do people normally get in touch with him?
How long is the passage?

This is real useful information - please put the details on the shipping info pages eh?
