About This Tour

Skip the 40-person party boat. This is a 38ft boat for up to 16 guests — more deck, more shade, more room to spread out — running you out of Cartagena to the Rosario Islands while everyone else is still queuing on the dock. Your group, your captain, your day.

You leave Muelle de la Bodeguita around 9 AM with a bilingual captain and guide. The boat heads out to the islands, drops anchor at a clear-water snorkel spot near Isla Grande, and the gear comes out. After the reef, you pull up to a beach club for the afternoonlunch, a swim, feet in the sand — then an easy cruise back into Cartagena by mid-afternoon.

Built for mid-sized groups, family gatherings and celebrations. Everything that costs extra — the park entrance fee, the beach-club minimum, lunch — is written out clearly before you book, so the price you plan for is the price you pay.

Customer Reviews

Andrés & Camila R.

★★★★★

Booked the Andhara for our family of 12 — kids, parents, grandparents. Perfect size boat, more intimate than the bigger catamarans but still plenty of space and shade. Captain was super patient with the kids, snorkel spot was clear, and the beach club lunch was a hit. Highly recommend!

★★★★★

10 of us for my best friend's bachelorette weekend. Loved having the boat to ourselves — our music, our pace, our vibe. The crew was so professional and the bilingual guide made coordinating with the beach club easy. Best day of the whole trip.

Roberto & Lucia M.

★★★★★

Booked the Andhara for my 40th birthday — 14 friends, all the right vibes. Transparent pricing was a relief (we'd heard horror stories about hidden Cartagena boat fees). Snorkel was great, beach club was relaxing, captain knew exactly where to take us. Will book again.
