Cartagena Sunset Catamaran Cruise: Open Bar & Live MusicA two-hour sunset catamaran cruise across Cartagena Bay with open bar, snacks, and live crossover music. You board from the main tourist pier, drift past the historic Walled City and modern Bocagrande skyline as the sun sets, and return after approximately two hours. Alcohol is served to guests 18 and over; all ages welcome.Is it for me?The boat stays in motion the whole time and the bar is always open, so this suits anyone who wants to unwind without a fixed itinerary or a schedule of stops—just drift, drink, and watch the city change color as the sun goes down.
Cartagena Sunset Catamaran Cruise: Open Bar & Bay ViewsA 2-hour shared catamaran cruise around Cartagena Bay at sunset, departing from Muelle de la Bodeguita with views of Bocagrande, Castillogrande, and the historic Old City. The open bar serves cocktails, white wine, and soft drinks; a mini snack and live music are included. Groups stay under 50 travelers, and guides speak English, Spanish, or French.Is it for me?Book this if you're based in the Old City or Bocagrande without a car—the boat departs from Muelle de la Bodeguita, a short walk away, and you'll spend two hours watching the sunset from the water rather than exploring on foot.
Cartagena Sunset Catamaran: Open Bar & DJ CruiseA two-hour sunset catamaran cruise in Cartagena Bay with a full open bar, live DJ entertainment and Colombian snacks included. You board at Muelle de la Bodeguita, sail across the bay during golden hour, watch the UNESCO-listed walled city and Bocagrande skyline light up, and return around 7:30 PM. The open bar serves mojitos, caipirinha cocktails, tropical alcohol-free drinks and two welcome beers per guest; children from age 1 are welcome, though alcohol is served only to guests 18 and older. A dock tax of approximately USD 5 per person is payable in cash at the pier.Is it for me?The pier is a short taxi ride from anywhere in Cartagena, so this cruise works whether you're staying in the old city, Bocagrande or elsewhere without a rental car—you board, the boat handles the rest, and you're back by 7:30 PM with no planning beyond showing up.
San Silvestre Dinner Cruise: Cartagena Midnight CelebrationThe Celebration of San Silvestre 2024 is a six-hour New Year's Eve dinner cruise aboard a catamaran in Cartagena Bay, featuring a three-course meal, welcome cocktail, midnight toast with champagne and grapes, live entertainment with DJ and professional entertainer, and shared tables where you meet other travelers. The boat sails through the inner and outer bay, passing the city's Christmas lights and midnight pyrotechnic displays. Children from age 2 are welcome, and a Spanish-speaking guide is included.Is it for me?Book this if you want to stay on the water for the full evening and be aboard at midnight for the fireworks; choose a shorter bay tour if you'd rather explore Cartagena's streets during the day.
Cartagena: 40-Foot Catamaran Overnight in Rosario IslandsYou get private transport from Cartagena, a full day and night aboard a 40-foot catamaran anchored in the Rosario Islands, meals, bottled water, and the boat's air conditioning. The catamaran is yours alone, so you set the rhythm — swim, eat, sleep on the water, and return to Cartagena the next morning without arranging any of the logistics yourself.Is it for me?Book this if you want a full night on the Caribbean without managing transport, meals, or boat logistics — the private rental means you're not sharing the boat or the schedule with anyone else, and everything from pickup to return is arranged for you.
Cartagena: 43ft Catamaran Rosario Islands & BarúYou board a private 43-foot catamaran at Cartagena's marina with a bilingual assistant and bottled water included. The day takes you to the Rosario Islands and Barú Island, where you choose your stops based on what you want — swimming, dining, or anchoring to rest. Transport to and from the dock is air-conditioned and arranged, so you arrive ready to cast off.Is it for me?Book this if you want a private boat and the islands without arranging transport, finding the dock, or following a fixed schedule — the catamaran rental lets you spend the day anchored or drifting, choosing your stops based on what you want that day.
