Planning Your Full-Day Baru Island Charter: What to Know
Best Time to Charter
Cartagena enjoys warm weather year-round, but the driest months (December through April) typically offer the most stable sea conditions and clearest skies. That said, we organize charters throughout the year and work with seasonal patterns to ensure optimal conditions for your group.
Group Size Considerations
Our catamarans accommodate varying group sizes comfortably. Whether you’re bringing 6 people or 20+, we have vessels suited to your party. Larger groups benefit from the spaciousness of a catamaran everyone has room to relax without feeling crowded.
What to Bring and Wear
Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and a light cover-up for sun protection. Bring a change of clothes if you plan to swim. Water shoes are helpful for exploring shallow beach areas. Leave heavy bags behind we’re all about comfort and mobility.
Physical Considerations
While catamarans are generally stable and smooth, the sea does move. If you or anyone in your group is prone to seasickness, inform us in advance we can discuss timing, positioning on the boat, and other strategies to ensure comfort.
