📈 The math that changes everything: At 9 or more people, a private boat in Cartagena costs the same as or less than a shared group tour ($85 USD/person). At 18+ people, the catamaran is always the cheapest option per head. Full pricing breakdown →
🚫 This service is NOT for you if:
• You are a solo traveler looking to meet people → a shared group tour at ~$85/person is better.
• Your group is 2 people with a tight budget → public ferry to Playa Blanca is more economical.
• You need certified SCUBA diving instruction → book a specialized dive operator.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Boat rental in Cartagena ranges from $680–$950 USD/day for a private speedboat (6–12 people), $1,750–$2,750 for a mid-size yacht (10–18 people), $1,750–$4,500 for a catamaran (15–30 people), and $2,000–$6,500 for a luxury yacht. All prices include captain, fuel and basic snorkel gear. No hidden fees.
Yes, always. Every Nauty360 charter includes a DIMAR-certified captain who knows the local waters, the best reef spots, and the safest routes. You never navigate on your own.
Nauty360 operates from three piers: Muelle de los Pegasos (Historic Center / Getsemaní area), Todomar Bocagrande (main tourist strip, Av. San Martín), and Club Náutico (southern zone). We confirm your departure pier based on your hotel location 24 hours before the tour.
For 13–17 people, the mid-size yacht (Yate Mediano) is the ideal choice. A speedboat maxes out at 12 and a catamaran is designed for 18+. Booking two speedboats splits the group and costs more. The mid-size yacht solves this at $1,750–$2,750 USD for the full day.
In high season (December–April and Holy Week) we recommend 10–15 days in advance. In low season (May–November) 5–7 days is usually enough. WhatsApp us to check real-time availability.
