Heritage 45
Sailboat · Up to 6 guests
A fast, seaworthy sailboat for travelers who want to enjoy the sailing as much as the islands of Guna Yala.

About the boat
Explorer 43 is an aluminum sailing yacht with a lifting keel, designed for safe cruising and reaching places beyond the usual routes.
Her fully refurbished interior is bright, airy, and welcoming. Numerous windows bring natural light and fresh air into every area of the yacht.
The lifting keel reduces her draft to approximately 1.20 meters, allowing her to navigate shallow waters and approach some islands more easily.
The interior layout creates distinct living areas and provides greater privacy. The private cabins are located forward, while the saloon is aft.
The forward cabin can be arranged as a double or triple, and the central cabin has a double bed. Depending on the group’s requirements, an additional single berth and an extra double berth are also available aft.
The galley and navigation station are located at the center of the yacht. Explorer 43 has two refrigerators with freezer compartments, adjustable fans in every cabin, and a fully refurbished bathroom with an electric toilet. The shower is located outside.
Every meal is prepared on board using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The menus bring together Mediterranean and Caribbean flavors, with healthy and varied dishes adapted to each guest’s preferences.
Montse’s signature dish is her gourmet paella, one of the most anticipated highlights of the experience on board.
Yoga sessions are included and adapted to the group’s experience and preferences.
Montse is also a bodywork therapist and can offer massages as an additional service upon request.
Couples, families, and small groups of friends seeking an intimate, relaxed experience combining sailing, food, wellness, and time to discover San Blas without rushing.

Your crew
Montse and Hernando have spent more than twenty years living, traveling, and sailing together. Since 2020, their yacht has been their home in San Blas and the starting point from which they share a very personal way of discovering the archipelago: warm, flexible, and deeply connected to nature.
Their experience brings together ocean sailing, food, yoga, and a lifetime devoted to exploring the world by land, sea, and air.
Hernando is Venezuelan-Spanish and has extensive sailing experience. He has worked as both captain and chief engineer aboard large modern and classic sailing yachts, completed numerous Atlantic crossings—including one solo—and spent many years sailing throughout the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.
He has also worked as a pilot and flight instructor and is a mountaineer, big-wall climber, documentary producer, and PADI-certified diver. A lifelong nature lover, he shares his knowledge and experience in an approachable and natural way.
Born in Barcelona, Montse has been Hernando’s partner in life and adventure for more than twenty years. On board, she takes part in sailing the yacht and looks after the cooking, bringing a special warmth and sensitivity to the experience.
She trained as a yoga teacher in India and has more than twenty years of experience as a teacher, bodywork therapist, and mindfulness instructor.
She loves nature, meeting new people, and cooking for others. Her food blends Mediterranean and Caribbean flavors, with close attention to fresh ingredients and each guest’s preferences.
