Cartagena Sunset Cruise: Open Bar & Skyline Views Tour

Summary

Cartagena’s bay at sunset with open bar and city lights

You’ll step aboard in Cartagena just before sunset for a 90-minute cruise across the bay, soaking up city lights and skyline views with unlimited open bar drinks included. Expect mellow music, friendly staff, and plenty of time to watch the colors shift over the water — a moment you might not forget too quickly.

What’s the experience like?

We stepped onto the Sibarita Master just as the last bit of heat was leaving the air — you know that sticky Cartagena warmth? It was still there, but softer. Someone handed me a rum punch before I’d even found my seat (which, by the way, is assigned — no awkward seat scramble). The boat hummed away from the dock and suddenly the city looked different, all those tall buildings catching gold light. Our guide — I think her name was Paula — pointed out Isla Grande off in the haze. She said locals come out here to breathe a little easier after work. I liked that image.

I kept expecting loud music or some kind of party vibe, but it was actually more mellow. People chatted in Spanish and English, glasses clinking quietly. There was this salty smell mixed with something sweet from someone’s lemonade nearby. I tried to order in Spanish; the bartender smiled and switched to English (I guess my accent gave me away). We drifted past those fancy condos — Paula called it “the Miami of Colombia,” which made everyone laugh.

The sky went pink and then orange over Cartagena Bay, and for a second nobody said much. Just that soft engine noise and a couple kids pointing at pelicans gliding low over the water. I sipped my beer slower than usual because I didn’t want it to end too soon. Snacks cost extra but honestly, with all the drinks included (rum & coke, wine, whatever), it felt easy just to sit back and watch the city fade into night. I still think about that view sometimes when things get noisy back home.
