About This Tour
Skip the 40-person party boat. This is a 40-ft catamaran with up to 18 seats, a wide stable deck and shaded lounge — 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 afternoon — lunch, a swim, feet in the sand — then an easy cruise back into Cartagena by mid-afternoon.
Built for groups who want shade, space and a stable deck — perfect for guests with motion sensitivity, families with kids, multi-generational trips, or anyone wanting the most comfortable Rosario Islands day possible. 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
The Hernández Family
Three generations, ages 6 to 78, on the Escapade — perfect choice. Wide deck meant the kids could move around safely, shaded lounge gave my parents a spot to relax out of the sun, and the catamaran was so stable my mom (who normally gets seasick) had zero issues. Beach club lunch was a hit. Worth every peso.
Rachel & Marcus B.
Booked the Escapade for 14 of us — bachelorette party with mixed comfort levels. Loved that there was shade for those who wanted it and sun for those who didn't. Captain was friendly, snorkel stop was clear, and the beach club had the perfect vibe. Fee transparency was a relief after hearing horror stories about Cartagena boat tours.
Jonathan T.
Brought our 12-person team to Cartagena for a retreat day. Picked the Escapade specifically for the catamaran stability since some teammates get seasick. Smart choice — smooth ride, plenty of shade, and the wide deck gave us space to mingle. Bilingual crew was great with our mixed UK/Colombia group.
