A shared tour to the Rosario Islands puts you on a boat with 30 strangers, a schedule you didn't choose, and a 10-minute "snorkel stop" at the same crowded reef everyone else visits. A private Nauty 360 lancha puts you and your group on the water on your timeline — anchor where you want, stay as long as you like, leave when you're ready.
A private lancha for up to 10 guests runs $680 total, or about $68 per person. You get full control of the day — anchor where you want, stay as long as you like, and skip the shared panga's fixed schedule.

Cartagena's Caribbean coast packs four completely different day-trip experiences within 90 minutes of the marina. Here's what each one delivers — and which vessel works best.
About 1 hour by lancha from Cartagena. Coral reef snorkeling, translucent water, and deserted beaches on Isla Grande. The most-requested destination for good reason — visibility hits 15–20 meters on calm days.
The whitest sand beach accessible from Cartagena, on the Barú Peninsula. A private boat lands you directly on the beach and picks you up when you say — skip the overcrowded public pier entirely.
Departs from 6 PM, minimum 3 hours, within Cartagena Bay. Cartagena's skyline from the water. Popular for birthdays, anniversaries, and proposals.
Cartagena's iconic sandbar scene: floating bars, live music, and boats anchored side-by-side.
Combine stops: anchor at a reef, move to Playa Blanca for lunch, then cruise back slowly. With a private boat, the route is yours. The captain advises based on sea conditions and tide — you make the final call.

Six operational facts that actually affect your day on the water — gathered from local captains and direct experience at the Cartagena marinas.
December–April is dry season. But the Rosario Islands channel can get choppy in the afternoon even in peak season. The Rosario Islands Full Day departs at 9:00 AM, and mornings consistently have calmer seas than afternoon launches. Your captain will advise.
Depending on the boat, departures are from different marinas in Cartagena. We confirm your exact meeting point on WhatsApp. Parking nearby may be limited on weekends — arrive by taxi or ride-share.
DIMAR (Dirección General Marítima) regulations require life jackets for all passengers. Reputable operators like Nauty 360 carry certified gear for every guest — if a charter doesn't, walk away. The Rosario Islands National Park entry permit is required only for shared or group tours, not on a private Nauty 360 charter.
Charter operators in Cartagena typically quote in USD for international visitors. If you prefer to pay in Colombian Pesos (COP), confirm the exchange rate at booking — rates fluctuate significantly week to week.
