Crossing the Darian Gap
 

Hi All
We are one year around SA and in and in a approx 4 months we expect to cross the Gap to then continue up to Mexico :thumbup1:

Ideally we would like to take the Stahal Rat across but I'm finding it hard to find extra info about the trip; for example dates... costs etc. Does anyone have links/ contacts or knowledge on the Rat.

The other option would be to share a container..... not as glamorous or as many crayfish/ lobster to eat but a means to an end. Does anyone have any contacts or info on the best way to go about organising a share container and what the approx cost may be

thanks in advance

Well, I Googled "Stahlratte" for you, and here's what I found: stahlratte sail shuttle panama kolumbien cartagena panama san blas cuba jamaika

Hope that's helpful.

If the Stalratte is fully booked you can also FLY over. Hurricane season (July to November) sometimes affects the boat crossings.

Containers are cheaper if you can jump into one with a bunch of other vehicles. Can be a bit confusing to organize however.

Lots of info here on all this. Have a great ride!

Just send them (Sthalratte) a message on for example Facebook and hopefully they will answer you.

There is a «Tourplan» a bit down the side. As it seems they have a tour 8th August leaving from Cartagena and after that they have a long break and next tour is 11th October. And after that a couple of tours pr month.

Its my understanding that they are in negotiations with Columbia to continue to provide sailings for Moto's around the Gap. Hopefully it gets sorted out!!

I sailed over to Columbia a few years ago and now on my return. I will look at shipping from Bogota to Panama, my concerns now are Nicaragua.

things change, gotta adjust :scooter:

Stahlratte have sorted their issues with Colombian customs and are resuming sailings.
