Velero Splendid
I think it would be a great experience and learning since the activities will take place on a sailboat in the middle of the world's largest and most pristine reef, the Guna Yala Archipelago.
I live and work on my sailboat, comfortable and spacious, where hard and long work is not required; there is a lot of free time to sail since the job is customer service, and visits are infrequent.

About the experience in: Guna yala, Panama
United States
It was my first Worldpackers experience. The host was disrespectful and unwilling to compromise. His lack of structure when it comes to definitive hours (he’s on “ocean time”) led to an altercation where he threw an object at me to gain my attention because he couldn't be bothered to walk a few feet to let me know my shift was beginning. When I tried to set a boundary about that, he ridiculed me and said he didn't like my energy/face. He retroactively claimed I didn’t work the full 5 hrs, but I completed every task happily. Message me if you’d like my full opinion. This is too remote to risk.

It is the only low rating I have; even on Airbnb my rating is almost perfect, and the experience with the female volunteer was terrible and endangered my standing with my clients, who did not leave favorable comments about her.

I had an AMAZING time on the boat. This is such a unique volunteering experience and I am so grateful for my time here! Most of the work including cooking for the guests, cleaning, and learning about navegation! I was able to join the guests when visiting different islands as well. Nicolás is full of energy, very respectful, and a great host. I can't wait to return some day :)

Estar en the boat ha sido una de las mejores experiencias que he vivido. No solo por aprender el funcionamiento diario de la vida en un the boat sino por poder descubrir y navegar por un auténtico paraíso como lo es San Blas. Además de tener como anfitrión a Nico que, en todo momento, está atento a que te sientas como en casa y disfrutes de la experiencia mientras aprendes. Lo recomiendo 100%!
