Stahlratte crossing
I just crossed the Gap with Shaun and 11 other riders (13 bikes in all including my Ural) on the Stahlratte and it was a great trip. The boat is plenty big, the crew takes good care of the bikes (loading, tying down and unloading), loads of great food and hanging out in the San Blas for a few days was a nice break. Yeah, it's pricey, but as others have said, you get what you pay for on this one.
Also, Ludwig (the capitan of the Stahlratte) has an agent in Cartegena, and I'm guessing for Panama going the opposite direction, who took care of all the bullshit paperwork for us. All we had to do was get insurance and wait around.
