Private Charter
The difference between a shared boat tour and a private charter is the difference between visiting Cartagena and actually being in it.
Every private yacht charter arranged by CGLUX departs with one party on board — yours. No strangers, no announced itinerary, no stop at a beach chosen by a tour operator rather than by you. Your captain is briefed on your preferences before departure, and the route is shaped around where you want to go and how long you want to stay there. The Caribbean along Cartagena’s coastline is extraordinary: clear water, coral reefs, mangrove islands, and open sea within forty minutes of the old city walls. Very few visitors see it the way it deserves to be seen, because very few have a boat arranged just for them.
We work with a curated selection of captains who meet standards we enforce personally: vessels maintained above requirement, safety briefings delivered without prompting, local knowledge that comes from years of working these waters and not from a laminated map. Whether you want a quiet afternoon anchored in a bay off the Rosario Islands, a full day exploring the coast of Barú, or a sunset sail along the city walls with catering on board, we design the day around you and then step back so that you can simply be in it.
Private charters are available for any number of people in your party — from two on a honeymoon to twenty for a group occasion. The vessel type is matched to the size of your group, the duration of the day, and the activities you want to include. Snorkelling equipment, paddleboards, catering, and beverages are arranged in advance and waiting for you when you board.
Destinations
Where we go
Rosario Islands
A national park archipelago forty minutes from Cartagena by sea. Coral reefs, white-sand beaches, and clear warm water. We anchor privately in bays where group tours are not permitted. A full day here is one of the finest things you can do in Colombia.
Barú & Playa Blanca
A peninsula south of Cartagena with some of the most beautiful coastline on the Caribbean. Playa Blanca is Colombia’s finest beach — and arriving by private boat means reaching it before the vendors, and leaving when you choose rather than when a shared shuttle departs.
Sunset Along the Walls
A half-day charter that stays closer to the city — ideal for honeymooners, anniversaries, or evenings when the full-day commitment doesn’t suit. We depart at four, sail along the fortified walls as the sun drops, and return by dark with catering and a sunset nobody forgets.
