Crossing the Gap in Feb 2017
 

Hey All! Friend and I are hoping to be crossing the darien gap around Feb 4th 2017 on 2 Kawasaki Versys 650's. We have been in contact with Stahlratte and they will NOT be servicing that route from December to May. They instead will be doing trips from Mexico to Cuba (lame, i know). I am looking into other forms of transport across the Gap. I am a little disappointed as I have heard good things about Stahlratte. I am also a sailor myself so the prospect of SAILING this route was very appealing. Anyway there must be some of you that know of some other forms of transport from Panama to Colombia.

Can you please share with me your successful crossing story using anything other than Stahlratte (Provide links or contacts)? Sailboat would be cool, but obviously safety is most important!

Thanks in advance!

try wild card sailing there last trip is jan 31 2016 there are a couple of us on it now

Fly you and your bike across. Or there are past posts about some back woods crossings.

Once you get in Panama go to Colone port and look for captain Pedro who runs banana boat name = Dori Gil= and for 300 US is going to cost you to transport motorcycle to Turbo,Columbia and you can take Cuna Indian's boat ride to same city for additional 100 US with stop over at Obaldia and Capurgana for immigration stamp...
I did it last year and head a blast...:mchappy:
Hope this my help.

safe ride ................. kawazoki
