⏱ 40 min crossing · 📍 Isla Barú · Peak: Dec–Apr

Snorkel + Swim

Rosario Islands

Coral Archipelago — 27 islands in the Corales del Rosario y San Bernardo National Natural Park. Clear turquoise water, protected reef, low boat traffic. Perfect for those who want both snorkel and party in the same day.

Standard Full-Day Party Boat Itinerary

Time Stop What Happens
9:00 AM Marina Santa Cruz Captain meets your group at the dock. Coolers loaded, safety briefing.
9:40 AM Rosario Islands Snorkel stop at protected reef. 45-60 min. Captain picks best spot based on conditions.
11:30 AM Cholón Beach Bar 3-4 hours at Cholón. Music, floats, local shots, beach party scene. The main event.
3:30 PM Playa Blanca (optional) 30-60 min swim at the white sand beach. Add if time allows.
5:00 PM Marina Santa Cruz Return to dock. Sunset views en route if timing works out.

Itinerary is flexible — you can skip any stop or add time at Cholón. Your captain adjusts to your group's pace.

⚠️ This Is Not for You If…

You want a quiet, relaxing beach day away from crowds — avoid Cholón during peak season (December–April and Semana Santa). Instead, ask us to route to Barú's quieter coves or a private Rosario island anchor. Also: if your group is just 1-2 people, it may be more economical to join a shared group tour from the city. The private charter value is best for groups of 6 or more. And if anyone in your group has seasickness concerns — the open-water crossing to Rosario (45 km) can be rough from November to January with northeast trade winds. Ask us about the bay sunset cruise as a calmer alternative.

Where does the party boat go in Cartagena?
The most popular route is Cholón beach bar on Isla Barú — a must-stop for any party group. We also go to the Rosario Islands for snorkeling, Playa Blanca on Barú for swimming, and offer sunset cruises around the Cartagena bay. Your captain suggests the best route based on sea conditions and your group's preference.
Can I rent a party boat for a bachelorette party in Cartagena?
Yes — bachelorette and bachelor parties are among our most common bookings. We recommend the Cholón full-day route: 40 min to Cholón, 3-4 hours at the beach bar with music and the party scene, then Rosario snorkel on the way back. Book 48-72h in advance minimum — peak season (Dec–Apr, Semana Santa) fills up fast.
How many people can fit on a party boat in Cartagena?
Our lancha 29ft fits up to 10 people. Lancha 40ft fits up to 15. For groups of 16-24, we offer a 52ft catamaran with a large deck, sun nets, and swim ladder. All boats are fully private — no sharing with other passengers.
When is the best time to rent a party boat in Cartagena?
December through April is peak dry season — flat seas, best snorkel visibility, Cholón is most festive and busy. May through November is green season — occasional afternoon showers, fewer tourists, lower accommodation rates. Semana Santa is the most crowded week of the year — Cholón is standing room only. Best calm Cholón experience: January or February on a weekday.
