The Crew: Dani & Jose

Amazing crew Irwin 44cc sailboat

Dani and Jose are the owners of this Irwin 44CC, and they're also the ones who will sail and cook for you. Dani is from Argentina and Jose is from Spain. They first came to Guna Yala many years ago, and it has been their home base ever since.

They're not always in San Blas. Their work takes them around the world, sailing and working on different boats, but they always come back. When they're here, they enjoy sharing the islands they know so well, cooking simple homemade meals, and taking things at a relaxed pace.

Homemade meals

Meals are cooked onboard using fresh, local ingredients whenever possible. Good food, fresh seafood, and a homemade touch are all part of life on board in Guna Yala.

Comfort and space at sea

A classic 1978 Irwin 44CC, completely refitted in 2024 for a unique San Blas experience. With a spacious master cabin aft, a second cabin forward, and two bathrooms, this traditional monohull offers an intimate way to explore the islands and enjoy the feeling of real sailing.
