"We rented the party boat for my wife's birthday — 20 people, 6 hours around the bay and to Playa Blanca. Everything was organized perfectly: the open bar, the music, even a cake! The captain and crew made it truly unforgettable."

"Incredible sunset cruise around the walled city. The yacht was gorgeous and the views were something out of a movie. Worth every penny — so much better than a crowded tour boat. We'll definitely book again when we're back in Cartagena."

When does a private charter beat a group tour?

We compared private charter prices vs. shared group tours across group sizes using 2026 market rates. The results challenge the assumption that private is always more expensive.

Group Size Group Tour (total) Private Lancha (total) Private Yacht (total) Best Value
2 guests $70–$130 $200–$300 $350–$480 Group tour wins
4 guests $140–$260 $200–$300 $350–$480 Lancha nearly equal
8 guests $280–$520 $250–$350 $350–$480 🏆 Private wins
12 guests $420–$780 $300–$400 $350–$480 🏆 Private wins clearly
20 guests $700–$1,300 Requires 2 boats $480 catamaran 🏆 Catamaran wins

Bottom line: The break-even point is 6–7 guests. Above that, a private charter consistently matches or beats the group tour on price — and delivers a fully private itinerary, departure time of your choice, and no strangers on board. Group tour prices based on $35–$65/person market rate for Rosario Islands shared tours (2026).

Honest Advice

When a private charter is NOT the right choice

This might cost us a booking — but we'd rather you know upfront:

  • ⚠️ Solo travelers or couples on a tight budget: A shared group tour to Rosario Islands at $35–$65 per person covers the same route at a price no private charter beats for 1–3 guests. Save the private experience for when your group grows.
  • ⚠️ Peak rainy season (August–September): Routes to Rosario Islands can be redirected due to swells. You can still book, but be prepared for the captain to adjust to Cartagena Bay if sea conditions don't cooperate.
  • ⚠️ Fixed hard deadlines on shore: If you have a 7 p.m. dinner after a 6 p.m. return, weather can shift that window. Build in a 1–2 hour buffer around any event-adjacent charter.
  • ⚠️ Expecting a large yacht experience at a speedboat price: A 28-ft lancha is fun and functional, but won't give you the shaded deck, lounge area, and full sound system of a 50-ft yacht. Be clear on what you're booking before you arrive at the dock.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about renting a boat or yacht in Cartagena.

Prices in Cartagena start from around $200 for a private lancha (half day, up to 12 guests), $350 for a luxury yacht, and $480 for a large catamaran. All prices include a professional captain. Final price depends on vessel type, duration and group size — contact us for a custom quote.
Yes — always. Every Nauty 360 charter in Cartagena includes a certified, experienced captain who knows the local waters, the Rosario Islands, Barú and the best spots to anchor. You never need to navigate on your own.
The Rosario Islands (Islas del Rosario) are approximately 35 km southwest of Cartagena, about 45–60 minutes by boat depending on the vessel and sea conditions. We depart from the main marina in Cartagena and anchor at the best spots in the archipelago.
Cartagena has excellent weather year-round. The driest and calmest months are December through April — ideal for the Rosario Islands and Barú. The rainy season (May–November) still offers great days on the water, often with even better prices and fewer crowds.
Absolutely. Playa Blanca on Barú island is one of our most popular destinations. Going by private boat means you arrive when you want, stay as long as you like, and skip the crowded public ferries entirely. We anchor right off the beach for a private arrival.
