If you want to meet new people and see Cartagena from a different angle—with music, sunset views, and local drinks—this party boat cruise is your ticket. It’s relaxed but lively, perfect before dinner or a night out.
The first thing I noticed stepping onto the boat was the warm breeze—sticky but not too much—and that mix of salt air and faint rum from the open bar. Our host, a local with an easy laugh, greeted everyone by name (or at least tried), making sure nobody felt left out. Music started up right away—reggaeton beats echoing off the water—and soon enough, folks were chatting like old friends. You could tell some people came for the dancing, others just wanted to watch the sun drop behind Cartagena’s skyline with a cold drink in hand.
We cruised past Isla Grande as dusk settled in. The city lights flickered on one side; on the other, you could spot pelicans gliding low over the bay. At one point, someone pointed out a little vendor boat selling snacks—didn’t expect that! There’s no dress code here; I saw flip-flops and dresses side by side. After about two hours of music, laughter, and a few rounds of aguardiente (the local favorite), we docked and our host led us straight to a buzzing nightclub nearby—entry sorted for us. The party vibe just kept rolling into the night.
No swimming is involved—you stay on board the whole time.
Anything goes! Some wore shorts and sandals; others dressed up. Comfort is key.
Yes, both the boat and nightclub are accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.
Kids can join with an adult; alcohol is only served to those 18+.
Your ticket covers all drinks (soft drinks and local liquor), entry to a top Cartagena nightclub after the cruise, plus restrooms on board. The crew makes sure everyone feels welcome and safe throughout.
