Sad to report that the snorkeling in Bocas Del Toro has gone very downhill since I first snorkeled there in early 2018. I returned there in January 2022. I had a great captain who knew all the used-to-be-great spots. Found little coral, few fish, and few sea creatures. The one good place for coral is Coral Caye in a marine reserve. I am not in Panama right now but would be happy to give you the name of the boat captain once I get back in the office.

Regarding sailboats in San Blas Islands, I have not yet gone there but plan on going in 2023. I have had a lot of communication with Sonia Richart of Aquatrip Okumé. She and her husband Charles have a sailboat and come highly recommended. There is no lodging in the San Blas Islands so a sailboat is your only option. San Blas reportedly has the best snorkeling in Panama.

Hope this helps.

It is a little dated, but gives you their impressions from 2015.

We hope you get some helpful answers!
