Embark on Your Caribbean Adventure
Start the morning as you step onto our prepared boat, the sun rising over the horizon and reflecting on the water—a perfect beginning to a day of exploration. As we sail away from Cartagena, the city gradually fades, giving way to the peaceful openness of the sea and the beauty of the islands ahead.
Leave the bustling Cartagena shores behind as the city fades and Caribbean beauty surrounds you. Explore the Rosario Archipelago, where each island brings something unique—whether it’s colorful coral just below the surface or lush greenery above.
Highlights of your day
First, we arrive at Isla Grande, a spot renowned for its clear waters and vibrant marine life. Here, you can explore hidden lagoons, snorkel among colorful reefs, or simply unwind by the shore. For a lively atmosphere, Cholón offers a social scene unlike any other, where yachts gather in shallow waters, creating a festive environment with music, food, and great company.
As the day continues, we’ll make our way to Isla Barú, where you’ll find white-sand beaches and lush vegetation, the perfect setting for fresh seafood by the water. Our journey wraps up sailing across Isla Tierrabomba, offering a blend of natural beauty and cultural history with unique views back toward Cartagena.
Your tailored itinerary
The sail to Isla Grande takes about 50 minutes, and from there, your day is entirely up to you. Whether you choose to snorkel, swim, or simply relax, the schedule is yours to shape. For lunch, we can recommend local beach clubs where you can enjoy some delicious regional dishes.
Around 4:00 pm, we'll head back to the marina, with an expected return by 5:00 pm.
Every stop and activity is flexible, based on your preferences. Whether you want to explore each island in detail or take a slower pace, we’ll shape the itinerary to suit your ideal day on the water.
