Hi Tim. Dirty Deeds and i just recently shipped our bikes with a sailboat from Portobelo Panama to Cartegena. We stopped in the San Blass islands for five days due to bad weather, virtual paradise! Ate lobster and coconuts! There are a few boats that do the trip in either direction, our captain was Leonardo from Italy,just ask, hese quite infamous! The cost is $250 per person and $200 per bike. Food and water is included, but the trip south can be quite rough! You can check for info at the Voyager Hostal in Panama city, or go directly to Portobelo and ask around. The price includes all paperwork for immigration, you will have to pay a fee for an agent for Aduana in Cartegena. Do it, it's worth the extra $20. Loading the bikes will cost about $10 each time. Perpare your bike with a VERY liberal coating of WD-40, three cans should do it  This was the cheapest meathod we could find, and the San Blass islands are a paradise worth seeing. Bring a hammoc! Here's a link to my web sight, you can see and decide for yourself.
Welcome
