Symphony · Sea Ray 425 Mini Yacht Charter in Cartagena
Symphony · Sea Ray 425 Mini Yacht Charter in Cartagena
An Air-Conditioned Sport Yacht for Private Groups of up to 12
Meet Symphony, a 42.5-foot Sea Ray 425 Sundancer sport yacht for private groups of up to 12 guests. It combines a fast, smooth ride to the islands with the comforts of a real yacht: central air conditioning, two cabins, a full galley, and a bathroom with a freshwater shower.
Outside, the shaded stern lounge has a center table, a sink, and surround sound, with an extended canopy for extra shade. At the bow there is a large sun pad, and the teak swim platform at the stern makes getting in and out of the water easy.
Inside, the air-conditioned salon has leather seating and a center table, a good place to cool off between swims.
Your captain and deckhand handle navigation and service while your group enjoys the Rosario Islands, Cholón, and Barú. The charter departs from Club Náutico marina in Cartagena.

Why Choose Symphony?
Most boats for 12 guests in Cartagena are open speedboats with no cabin. Symphony gives a group that size an air-conditioned interior, two cabins, a galley, and a proper bathroom with a shower, so the day feels like a yacht charter instead of a boat ride.
The Sundancer hull is built for speed, so crossings to the Rosario Islands are quick and comfortable. Once you arrive, the bow sun pad, shaded stern lounge, and teak swim platform cover every way your group might want to spend the afternoon.

Symphony is my pick for groups of 8 to 12 who want a real yacht feel without paying for a 60-footer. The air-conditioned cabin makes a big difference after a few hours in the sun, especially with kids. The galley has a microwave and fridge space, so bring lunch from a local spot in the city and eat on board instead of paying beach club minimums.
