Darian gap crossing from Panama to Columbia
 
Hello, I intend to cross the Darian gap from Panama to Columbia end of August. Thought I could take the Xpress ferry but now I found out the discontinued their service at least until Nov.. So I am also looking for an option.
Hope something comes up on this post. Thank you

The San Blas Ferry is dead in the water-
 
Last I heard it was bogged down in Paperwork on the Panama side. The guy that is running it, not sure he owns it, but he used to have Fritz the Cat based in Panama and it sank two years, everyone on board is okay, but the guy has a reputation of sorts.

The Express Ferry is rumored NOT to returning.

Any news on this for 2016? Any new options out there? Planning to cross November-December from Panama to Colombia.

Hi folks, we're currently in el Salvador having ridden from the USA. What are the current options for getting past Panama? Any boats doing the trip with a motorcycle in reasonable time?

This seems to be the slow season for boats. Shipping is always an option, and from reading other reports, it can cost around the same, all things considered. Ill keep my eyes/ears peeled for info and will let you know if I hear of anything though . Good luck out there friend!
