About
When visiting Cartagena there are two wonders no one should miss, The famous Old City and the astonishing Islas del Rosario (only a 20 minute boat-ride from Cartagena). These islands have crystal clear & turquoise waters, white sandy beaches and the most important coral reefs on the Colombian Caribbean coast. Our company was founded on the premises to provide the finest option when visiting and cruising the islands. We offer comfortable private boats and yachts that are professionally crewed (captain & assistant), while providing top-notch customer service. Rely on us and let us host you. Boating Cartagena is the way to go when chartering a boat in Cartagena – Colombia. We host, you relax!

We hired Boating Cartegena for a full day. Camilo was the host and Pedro and Omar were the crew. They did a fantastic job and customized the day according to our wishes. Camilo took us to a remote beach we would have never found on our own. It was a fantastic day and we highly recommend this company and team.

Excellent service. Incredible attention and experience. I recommend taking everything you need, the island can be expensive (2 redbull $100.000 pesos) very attentive service, the captains ensured the safety and comfort of the entire experience. Highly recommend!!

We spend a day visiting the Rosario Islands with Boating Cartagena. Each of the three crew members did a wonderful job showing us around, giving us tips and tricks, and making sure we were safe, comfortable and had an overall great time.

Once again a great Trip with Boating Cartagena. A great boat crew and a fantastic adviser who knows the right places to go. All of them were very flexible and fulfill all our wishes. The boat and the handling was more than safe! We enjoyed the whole day. Thank you all very much.

We planned/pre-paid in 2019 for the full day private boat trip to Rosario islands for Spring 2020, but because of the pandemic, we had to postpone the trip until September 2022. Cartagena Boating honored our paid reservation without any questions and provided us free beverages for our boat trip. The captain and his assistant were fun and helpful. The boat was clean, fast and powerful. They took us for snorkeling and swimming at a quiet beach. The water was amazing.
If you visit Cartagena, island hopping is a must do. I highly recommend Boating Cartagena

Our guide Camilo was so nice, welcoming and knowledgeable and took us to a local spot for lunch that was perfect and low key. He also picked a great spot for some beautiful snorkeling.

One word to describe this experience was PHENOMENAL. We had an all day tour of the Islas del Rosario with various stops planned by our crew which accommodated all of our wants and needs. We got to have some amazing snorkeling experiences alongside some quiet beach time at a local hotel, time allocated for lunch, and time to explore some other local offerings. Our host, Camilo S., and crew Luis Miguel and Juan Manuel were the BEST and we can’t thank them enough for the wonderful time we had during our trip with them. Hope to see them again soon!

Most amazing peaceful trip with my husband. Camilo was our host and he was so sweet, patient and easygoing. He took care of all the negotiations for chairs or with local vendors. We booked through our hotel, which also made a reservation for lunch at an eco hotel on one of the islands on our behalf.
We had a wonderful day just seeing the water and beautiful islands, resting on a couple of beaches and doing some very beginner snorkeling. Highly recommend. More expensive to get a private boat for two people but absolutely worth it (especially when we saw the cheaper boats we would’ve been on). Try to book w this crew if you can!

Camilo, Elmer and Captain Pedro were all fantastic hosts for our day trip around the Rosario Islands. Fantastic boat, fantastic crew, fantastic day. Can't recommend Boating Cartagena highly enough--the day was perfect. Lunch on the island was far better than expected (but also more expensive than expected). Snorkeling was good. Loved the history stories, too,

Hi everyone, so I am planning a trip to Cartagena in December and we wanted to rent a boat. We are a little scared cause we have read other reviews that the waters can be very dangerous and choppy? Is this true or did anybody experience this with this company ? Or maybe the turbulent ride only occurs on the speed boats..?!? I’m not sure.
Also how long is the boat ride from Cartagena? And how many islands do you go to?
Sorry for all the question lol
