Performance & Onboard Comfort on a 29ft Private Speedboat

Discover Cartagena’s Caribbean waters aboard a private 29-foot Singlar sport boat designed for small groups who want comfort, performance, and flexibility. This activity departs from Club Náutico Cartagena in the Manga neighborhood and does not require payment of the La Bodeguita tourist pier tax.

For a full-day rental, the route may include the Rosario Islands, Barú, Isla Grande, Cholón, Playa Azul, Playa Libre, swimming stops, snorkeling-style areas, or beach club and restaurant stops. For a shorter experience, the 2-hour Sunset Bay Tour focuses on Cartagena Bay, skyline views, and a relaxed cruise close to the city.

This is a private boat rental, not a shared tour. The route can be customized according to your group’s preferences, but all final decisions depend on the selected option, weather, sea conditions, timing, captain approval, and maritime authority instructions.
