Moana Private Catamaran Charter Cartagena | Islands & Sunset Cruise
Rent Moana: Private Catamaran in Cartagena for Groups & Events
Large Open Deck. Bar & Sound System. Built for Groups That Want to Celebrate.
If you're looking to rent a catamaran in Cartagena for a large group, Moana is one of the best options in the fleet: a spacious private catamaran built for groups that want room to move, dance, and celebrate together instead of sitting single-file on a speedboat.
Moana is a popular choice as a catamaran in Cartagena for events: birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, wedding groups, family reunions, and corporate events all fit comfortably onboard, with the open deck and bar keeping the group together instead of scattered across a smaller boat.
Choose a full-day island charter to the Rosario Islands, Cholón, or Barú for up to 25 guests, or a private sunset cruise inside Cartagena Bay for up to 45 guests. Either way, the catamaran is chartered exclusively for your group.
Catamaran Specifications
- Maximum Capacity: Up to 25 guests on island routes, up to 45 guests inside Cartagena Bay
- Crew: Professional captain and sailor / crew member included
- Sound System: Onboard audio system with exterior speakers
- Bar Area: Onboard bar for serving your group's drinks
- Kitchen: Under-deck kitchen, useful for catered experiences
- Cabins: Two double cabins for extra privacy onboard
- Bathroom: Spacious electric restroom onboard
Moana also comes with a large open deck, shaded areas, sundeck and reclining areas, a wooden table, refrigeration and ice storage, GPS and navigation equipment, VHF radio, and life jackets and safety equipment onboard.

Full-Day Departure: Approximately 9:00 AM
Full-Day Return: Approximately 5:00 PM at Los Pegasos Pier

Why Choose Moana?
Moana is built for large groups who want space to celebrate together, not a boat to simply get from point A to point B. The open deck, bar, and sound system make it a natural fit for milestone birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, wedding groups, and family reunions, while a capacity of up to 45 guests inside Cartagena Bay makes it one of the few private options in the fleet that can genuinely host a corporate event or large celebration on the water.
With two double cabins and a spacious electric restroom, Moana also gives groups a bit more privacy and comfort than a standard day-charter boat, whether you're spending the full day island-hopping or booking the shorter sunset cruise for an evening event.
Perfect For
- Large groups
- Corporate events
- Birthday celebrations
- Bachelor and bachelorette groups
- Wedding groups
- Family reunions
- Friend groups
- Special celebrations in Cartagena
Two Ways to Experience Moana
Full Day Island Charter (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM)
Spend the day exploring Cartagena's Caribbean islands aboard your own private catamaran. The full-day experience can be customized around destinations such as the Rosario Islands, Cholón, and Barú, depending on your preferred atmosphere, itinerary, weather, and maritime conditions.
Your experience begins at approximately 9:00 AM from Club Náutico Cartagena. Once onboard, your captain will navigate toward your selected island route, giving your group the opportunity to enjoy swimming stops, Caribbean scenery, and time together onboard. This route accommodates up to 25 guests when navigating outside Cartagena Bay. Return is scheduled for approximately 5:00 PM at Los Pegasos Pier.
Suggested Routes
Rosario Islands: panoramic views, turquoise water, and some of the best swimming areas near Cartagena. Ideal for groups who want a relaxed island day.
Cholón: one of Cartagena's most popular social boating destinations, with music, boats, and a festive atmosphere in the water. Recommended for groups looking for energy over relaxation.
Barú: tropical landscapes and Caribbean beaches, with the option to combine your catamaran day with a beach or lunch stop.
Private Sunset Bay Cruise (5:00 PM – 7:00 PM)
Looking for a private experience without spending the entire day at sea? Moana's 2-hour sunset catamaran cruise stays inside Cartagena Bay, so your group can enjoy Cartagena from the water as the sun sets behind the city and the skyline begins to light up.
Because this experience remains inside Cartagena Bay, Moana can accommodate groups of up to 45 guests, making it an excellent choice for larger celebrations, corporate events, and private pre-dinner cruises. The departure and return location for the sunset cruise will be confirmed with your reservation.

Choose the Full Day if your group's priority is swimming and island-hopping around Rosario, Cholón, or Barú. Choose the Sunset Cruise if the priority is getting a larger group together, playing music, and celebrating without committing to a full day at sea. If you're deciding between Moana and one of our large-group speedboats, the deck space is the real difference: Moana's open layout lets people stand, dance, and move around in a way a speedboat can't match once you're past 30 guests.
