Cartagena de Indias isn’t just for exploring on foot: from the sea, it reveals an even more captivating side. Sailing through the bay, diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Rosario Islands, or arriving in style and comfort at Barú are all part of the experience Mustique offers its guests.
Whether it’s for a sunset cruise, a full-day getaway, or a special lunch by the sea, our private boats are ready to provide unique moments, tailored to your needs.
Cartagena from the water: a postcard to remember
Cartagena Bay is a spectacle in itself. Sailing its waters allows you to admire the silhouette of the historic center and the contrast with the modern skyscrapers of Bocagrande. As evening falls, the sky is painted in warm hues while the city lights up, creating an unforgettable visual experience.
Barú and the Rosario Islands: nature, color and calm
Just a short boat ride away, the Rosario Islands archipelago is the first stop on this Caribbean route. Renowned for its coral reefs, crystal-clear waters, and perfect spots for snorkeling, it’s the ideal setting to start the day fully immersed in the sea.
After exploring the islands, the tour continues to Barú, where Agua Barú by Mustique awaits you—a beachfront boutique hotel surrounded by nature, tranquility, and elegance. There, you can enjoy a carefully prepared lunch, relax, take advantage of the clubhouse, and immerse yourself in the authentic beauty of this Caribbean paradise.
At the end of the day, the return voyage to Cartagena offers one of the most memorable moments of the day: the sunset over the bay, with the contrast between the walled city and the modern skyline as a backdrop.
An ideal plan:
- Departure from Cartagena in the morning.
- Tour of the Rosario Islands.
- Lunch and rest in Agua Barú.
- I return through the bay of Cartagena at sunset.
