Private Yacht Routes from Cartagena
Yacht to Rosario Islands: The most popular full-day route. Sail through the archipelago with swimming stops, snorkeling, and optional beach club lunch. Travel time is approximately 60–75 minutes each way. A yacht rental to the Rosario Islands from Cartagena covers multiple islands in one day, including Isla Grande, Coralina, Islabela, and open-water swimming spots.
Yacht to Cholón and Barú: The most social yacht charter route in Cartagena. Cholón is the famous floating lagoon where boats anchor together for swimming and music. Combine with a Barú stop for open-water swimming near Playa Blanca. Best for parties, bachelorette trips, and social group celebrations.
Yacht to Tierra Bomba beach clubs: Charter a yacht in Cartagena and arrive directly to Makani Luxury Beach Club. The shortest luxury yacht route from Cartagena, just 20–25 minutes. Spend the day at the most exclusive beach club on Tierra Bomba, then cruise back in the afternoon.
Sunset cruise Cartagena: A shorter 2–3 hour yacht charter through Cartagena Bay at golden hour. Skyline views of the walled city, Caribbean sunset, and onboard drinks. The most romantic yacht experience in Cartagena and the most popular for honeymoons and anniversaries.
Private island experiences: Combine a yacht charter with an exclusive stop at Corona Island, a private adults-only island in the Rosario Islands. Or anchor at Hotel Las Islas on Barú, MICHELIN listed, with Spa Niña Daniela and a dive center. The ultimate yacht + luxury island day in Cartagena.
Yacht vs Catamaran vs Speedboat in Cartagena
Choosing between a yacht rental, a private catamaran charter, and a private speedboat in Cartagena depends on three things: group size, budget, and what the experience on board should feel like.
A private yacht in Cartagena is the most prestigious option: air conditioning, formal interior salons, crew service, and the visual impact of arriving by a 55–70ft motor yacht. Best for corporate events, formal celebrations, and groups where onboard comfort is as important as the destination. Yacht rentals in Cartagena Colombia work best for groups of 8–20.
A private catamaran offers more outdoor deck space, better stability in open water, and a more social sailing atmosphere. Better for groups who want to spend the day outdoors. Catamaran charters in Cartagena are generally 15–30% more affordable than motor yachts at comparable capacity.
A private speedboat is the fastest and most affordable option. Best for smaller groups (6–14) who want to cover multiple destinations quickly. Cartagena boat rentals by speedboat offer the best per-person value for island hopping on a tighter budget.
Yacht Party Cartagena: Celebrations & Events
Private yacht charters in Cartagena are the most popular choice for bachelorette parties, birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons, and corporate events on the water. A yacht party in Cartagena can be customized with catering, open bar packages, music, decoration, and photographer add-ons. The Azimut 70ft yachts are the top choice for larger celebrations of 15–20 guests. The Oddysea Leopard 43 is the top choice for groups wanting a yacht party with more outdoor deck space and a sailing atmosphere.

Routes are fully customizable based on your group's preferences.
For motor yacht party experiences, the Azimut 70ft is the top choice: the most spacious and visually impressive vessel in the fleet.

It depends on your priorities. A Cartagena yacht rental is better if you want air conditioning, formal interiors, and a prestigious motor vessel experience. A private catamaran charter in Cartagena is better if you want more outdoor deck space, a more relaxed sailing atmosphere, and slightly lower prices at comparable group sizes. Both reach the same island destinations; the difference is the experience on board.
