The San Blas Ferry is dead in the water-
Last I heard it was bogged down in Paperwork on the Panama side. The guy that is running it, not sure he owns it, but he used to have Fritz the Cat based in Panama and it sank two years, everyone on board is okay, but the guy has a reputation of sorts.
The Express Ferry is rumored NOT to returning.

Hi folks, we're currently in el Salvador having ridden from the USA. What are the current options for getting past Panama? Any boats doing the trip with a motorcycle in reasonable time?

This seems to be the slow season for boats. Shipping is always an option, and from reading other reports, it can cost around the same, all things considered. Ill keep my eyes/ears peeled for info and will let you know if I hear of anything though . Good luck out there friend!
