Midnight from the water
Cruise the bay with the lit-up city behind you and watch the midnight fireworks from the sea — no lines, no crowds, no hunting for a table.
02
Just your group
The boat is private: your family or friends and the crew. From small boats for 10 to catamarans for large groups.
03
Dinner, bar and DJ, your way
We can set up the whole night — dinner or canapés, open bar, DJ and decoration — or just the boat and you bring the rest. You get one closed price before you book.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a private boat for New Year's Eve in Cartagena?
December 31 is a special date and the price depends on the boat, your group size and what you add (dinner, bar, DJ). Message us on WhatsApp with how many you are and we'll send a proposal with one closed price.
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. You'll know the exact boat and crew before you pay.
What time do we leave and come back?
Boats usually leave around 9 pm and return to the dock around 2 am, so you're out on the water at midnight. The exact time depends on the boat, the dock and the Port Authority's rules for that night.
How far in advance should we book?
It's the most requested night of the year and few boats are available for it. Book now: a 50% deposit secures the date, and the other 50% is paid before departure.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
Yes. We can also arrange dinner, the open bar and a DJ if you'd rather not carry anything.
What if it rains?
The large catamarans have a covered area. If the Port Authority closes the harbour for bad weather, we reschedule or refund your deposit.
