If you’re in Bocas del Toro and you’re looking for a boat to take you out: snorkelling, scuba diving, fishing, sight seeing, and give you sailing lessons, perhaps the Naylamp is just what the doctor ordered.

Named --- loosely --- after the legendary ancient Peruvian sailor and leader Naymlap, the Naylamp is a 41 x 22.4 foot trimaran that can carry you all around the Bocas del Toro archipelago. The ship belongs to a pair of self-proclaimed “navigators and adventurers,” Daniel Ayora and Elena Markiegi. Ayora has over 20 years sailing experience, and built the Naylamp himself in 1997.

They have trips that range from a day out to seven days, and they all include food and drinks (water, wine, rum, beer, or soda), plus equipment for snorkelling or fishing and a couple of kayaks. Both your hosts are accomplished chefs, of which this reporter speaks from experience.
