Frequently asked questions

How much is a private boat to the Rosario Islands?

It depends on the vessel, group size, date and the details you choose. Message us on WhatsApp or email with your date and we send a complete written quote, with photos and videos of the boat.

Why does the boat need two engines?

The Cartagena Port Authority requires it for the Rosario and San Bernardo routes. Our system never offers single-engine boats for those routes.

How long is the ride to the Rosario Islands?

About one hour from Cartagena, depending on sea conditions and the boat.

We are 20 people. Is that possible?

Yes, with a larger boat, a yacht or a catamaran. Message us and we'll send options with photos and prices.

Prefer email? Request a quote

We answer in writing with the boat, the final price and the cancellation policy.
