About This Tour

Forget squeezing onto a shared shuttle boat. This is a large catamaran for up to 40 guests — the platform for a real event on the water, 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 weddings, corporate days and large events. 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

Carlos & Valeria M.

★★★★★

Booked the Alisio for our wedding party day — 35 of our closest friends and family. The captain was incredible, the snorkel spot was beautiful, and the beach club was the perfect setting for the afternoon. Loved that all the fees were disclosed up front — no surprises at the dock. Worth every peso.

James K.

★★★★★

Brought our 28-person team for a quarterly retreat. Bilingual crew made everything seamless for our mixed US/Colombia group. The transparency on extra fees (park, beach club) was refreshing — most operators here hide that stuff. Best team-building day we've ever done.

Isabella & Marco R.

★★★★★

Three generations on one private boat to the Rosario Islands. The crew was patient with the kids and our older relatives, the snorkel stop had amazing visibility, and the beach club lunch was delicious. Felt like a real event, not a tourist herding experience.
