Sunset by Catamaran in Cartagena Bay: 360° views
Watch the Caribbean light the city from the water
A two-hour catamaran sail through Cartagena Bay at sunset, with a drink and snacks included, that circles the walled Historic Center and Bocagrande as the skyline lights up. The boat leaves from the bay itself, so you step aboard and the day unfolds without arranging transport or timing around crowds.

The Experience
The catamaran departs in the late afternoon and heads into Cartagena Bay while the light is still high. You sail past Isla Grande and along the water that separates you from the walled city—the Historic Center, Bocagrande, and the colonial streets visible from the deck. A drink (with or without alcohol) and snacks arrive as the sun drops, and the ambient music plays while you watch the sky change color across 360 degrees of open water.
The return trip is when the city reveals itself differently. As darkness settles, the buildings light up—the fortress walls, the pastel facades, the skyline—and you see Cartagena from the sea the way the Spanish galleons once did. Two hours total means you can fit this into an afternoon that started elsewhere, or use it as the evening itself without the day becoming a single activity.
The boat is modern and built for this: wide enough to move around, stable enough that the motion is gentle, and open enough that you are not watching the sunset through glass. A medical assistance card is included, and the insurance requirement (subject to change) is handled at checkout.
What’s included
- A drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).

Is this one for you?Two hours is short enough to fit into an afternoon you have already planned, which means you can sail at sunset without the day becoming a single commitment. If you want a full evening activity or a longer boat experience, this one leaves room for dinner afterward or pairs with something else in the city.

Top questions
What exactly do I see from the catamaran during the sail?
The catamaran circles Cartagena Bay, so you see the walled Historic Center, Bocagrande, and Isla Grande from the water. On the way out, the city is lit by daylight; on the return, the buildings are illuminated against the dark, and you see the skyline and fortress walls as they appear from the sea.
How long is the sail, and can I fit it into a free afternoon?
The sail is two hours total, which means you can book it in an afternoon with time before or after, or make it your evening without committing the whole day to one activity.
What drinks and food are included?
A drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic, your choice) and snacks are included with the sail.
Is this tour good for a romantic evening or a celebration?
Yes—the catamaran is built for couples, small groups and celebrations. The ambient music, the open deck, and the changing light make it a natural choice for anniversaries, proposals or an evening with friends.
Do I need to arrange my own way to the boat?
The catamaran departs from Cartagena Bay itself, so you arrive at the boarding point and step aboard; transport to the departure is not included and depends on where you are staying in the city.
