🌴 Ipanema 58 "Maya Ulu" — A Day in Paradise Where Sky Meets the Sea

Welcome to San Blas — an archipelago of 365 islands where white-sand beaches meet turquoise waters, and palm trees whisper in the language of freedom.

Here, in the heart of the Caribbean Sea, you’ll spend your day aboard Maya Ulu — a luxurious, spacious, and impeccably comfortable catamaran designed for those seeking the true tropical paradise — no compromises.

🌊 Your Perfect Day in San Blas
09:00 – Meet at San Blas Marina. A welcome coconut drink and chilled water await you on deck.
10:00 – Set sail for the most breathtaking islands: Pelícano, Perro, Nalunega, or secluded sandbars accessible only by sea.
11:30 – First stop: Swim and snorkel in crystal-clear lagoons among vibrant coral and tropical fish.
13:00 – Lunch on the flybridge: fresh grilled fish, tropical fruits, coconut rice, and house-made sauces — all crafted by the chef.

About me

Yacht Skipper • Sailing Instructor • Racer

About me:
Sailing since childhood, yachting since my teens, and a life at sea.
I’m inspired by the adrenaline of race starts and the thrill of fighting for seconds, but nothing beats the pleasure of an unhurried cruise: when the sail catches the wind and there’s good food, easy conversation, and a crew you truly want to share the sea with.
I’m happy to share the helm, become part of the team, and help others feel the boat the way I do.

The sea for me is work, sport, and a way of life.
And every new project is a chance to share this passion with a crew and make another journey unforgettable.
