Sailing Vacations
Cartagena’s sheltered bay is home to many beautiful islands and beaches, making it the perfect spot for boating trips. You’ll find everything from simple power boats and charter yachts to fully-staffed, luxurious options. Use the advanced filters to search for your ideal vessel and then get in touch with the owner via message to discuss the details of your trip.
Catamarans are especially popular in Cartagena and can fit up to 8 people. You can hop on one for a day trip to Isla Cholon and Baru Island or book a multi-day cruise around the Rosario Islands.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, opt for a private tour with a skipper. Skippers know the waters like the back of their hands and can help you explore some of the hidden gems of Bolivar’s coast line. They can also recommend great spots for snorkeling or for lunch. You’ll enjoy the comfort of a luxury boat with all the amenities while your captain handles the details.
Island Hopping
Boating adventures in Cartagena come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you want to go fishing for a day or dance in the sun at Cholon island, there’s a tour out there to suit your preferences.
Group tours are one popular option and often offer a great value for money. However, they do tend to be crowded and a little too much of a mass-produced experience for those looking for something more tailored.
Sailboats, catamarans and speedboats are all options that can offer a more personalized tour. If you’re looking to avoid the crowds, consider renting a private boat that will allow you to explore multiple islands.
Large Groups
If you are planning a trip to Cartagena and are traveling with a group of friends it’s best to reserve a private boat or yacht tour to ensure you have a good experience. Rather than going to the pier and trying to haggle with individual boat owners and crews you can use an agency that offers guaranteed pricing and expert staff so you can simply enjoy the ocean and beaches.
One of the most popular tours for large groups is to visit Cholon which is a small speck of beach on the coast near Cartagena known for being a fun and lively boat party spot. There is a row of little palm thatch roofed shacks along the water and many boats pull up around these to form a semi circle where people dance and drink in the sun.
You can also add on a stop to visit Playa Blanca which is a stunning secluded beach.
Private Tours
Whether you’re looking for a day trip to the Rosario Islands, transportation to Playa Blanca or simply a one of a kind on the water party late into the night we can help! We offer private boats and yachts so you can enjoy your own personal captain and a crew at your disposal for an entire day.
This is a great way to avoid the crowds and also get access to more of what Cartagena has to offer. Our local agencies have a variety of group tours that can be combined with your private boat for a larger excursion.
