What to Expect on Your Rosario Islands Day Trip
The Journey Begins
Your catamaran adventure starts early in the morning when we arrange transportation from your villa or hotel to the marina in Cartagena. We handle all logistics so you can focus on enjoying the experience. Once aboard, you’ll feel the difference spacious decks, smooth sailing, and the open water stretching before you.
Island Exploration at Your Own Pace
The Rosario Islands consist of over 27 islands, each with its own character. Some groups love the pristine beaches of Barú, others prefer the quieter coves perfect for swimming. With a private catamaran, you’re not locked into a preset itinerary. Work with our crew to visit the spots that excite you most.
Popular island destinations include:
- Playa Blanca: White-sand beaches and crystal-clear water picture-perfect and ideal for photos.
- Rosario Island: The main hub with vibrant marine life and excellent snorkeling opportunities.
- Barú Peninsula: A laid-back alternative with fewer crowds and authentic Caribbean charm.
- San Martín Island: Known for tranquility and stunning sunset views.
Activities and Water Time
Bring your swimmers and underwater camera. You’ll have ample time to swim, snorkel, or simply float in waters so clear they seem unreal. The Caribbean’s marine ecosystem thrives here, and you might spot tropical fish, sea turtles, and vibrant coral formations.
Dining and Refreshments
We work with our team to arrange private chef and catering services, so your catamaran experience includes meals and beverages prepared to your specifications. Whether you prefer a casual beachside lunch or something more elaborate, we’ll make sure your group is well-fed and hydrated throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best time of year to visit the Rosario Islands?
The Caribbean around Cartagena is enjoyable year-round, but December through April offers the most consistent weather with lower humidity and minimal rain. However, the shoulder seasons (May June and September November) also provide excellent experiences with fewer crowds. Our team can advise on the best timing for your specific preferences.
How many people can a private catamaran accommodate?
Catamarans vary in size and capacity. Smaller vessels work beautifully for intimate groups of 8 12 people, while larger catamarans can accommodate 30+ guests. Reach out to us with your group size and we’ll match you with the perfect vessel.
What should I bring on the catamaran charter?
Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a light cover-up or rash guard. Bring a waterproof camera or phone case if you want to capture underwater moments. We recommend comfortable swimwear and a change of clothes. Our crew will provide towels and basic safety equipment.
Is the catamaran suitable for non-swimmers or young children?
Absolutely. While swimming and snorkeling are popular activities, they’re entirely optional. Children and non-swimmers can enjoy the boat, the scenery, meals, and the island experience without entering the water. Our crew is experienced in accommodating guests of all comfort levels.
Can we customize the itinerary?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of a private charter is the flexibility to customize your day. Want to spend extra time at one island? Skip another? Add a specific activity? Our team works with you to create an itinerary that feels perfect for your group.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety is our top priority. Our crew monitors weather conditions continuously. If conditions become unsafe, we’ll either reschedule your charter to another date or discuss alternatives with you. We’ll never compromise your safety for a booking.
