Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a boat in Cartagena?
It depends on the boat, the group size and the date. Captain, deckhand and fuel are always included. Send us your date and group size on WhatsApp and we'll quote the exact amount for the boats that suit you.
Can I pay in US dollars?
Prices are in Colombian pesos. You can pay by international card, and we'll tell you the dollar amount at the day's rate before you confirm.
Is it safe? Is this a real company?
Yes. Nautical Eventos is a registered Colombian tour operator (RNT) based in Cartagena, with an office in Manga. Every captain holds a valid DIMAR license, the Colombian maritime authority. You'll know the exact boat and crew before you pay.
What if it rains?
Rain in Cartagena is usually short. If the Port Authority closes the harbour for bad weather, we reschedule at no cost for a date that works for you.
How far in advance should I book?
In low season, two or three days is enough. In December, Easter week and long weekends, the good boats go weeks ahead. If you already have your date, write today.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
Yes. We can also arrange the open bar and catering if you'd rather not carry anything.
