Bareboat charter in Bocas Del Toro, Panama

[BillScott]

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong form, I am new to these groups. If it is the wrong form, please suggest where I might post for more response.

We will be sailing in May 2013 in Bocas del Toro, Panama. We were hoping to find a bareboat charter, but it seems that the only charters available are run by the owners of the boats, and they seem to always accompany their vessels. Does anyone have any experience or ideas as to where I might charter bareboat in Bocas Del Toro?

Thanks for any and all advice.
Cheers,
Bill

Having lived in BdT for a while (both on and off our boat), I'd say you're not overlooking anything obvious (unfortunately). But, you might want to post your request on these Facebook groups for BdT residents:

Good luck! And, let me know if you have any questions re Panama or BdT - we love it there!
