Island Hopping in Style + Speedboat 42*

The Speedboat 42.

This superior, super speedy island hopper for you and up to 20 friends, is your gateway to fun and frolics in Caribbean paradise.

We won't leave you to fend for yourselves. We'll pick you up from the hotel and ensure you get everything you need for a wonderful day on the water

Even better! We’ll make a contribution to a local mangroves restoration project on your behalf to offset the carbon emissions generated by your day on the water.

The Lowdown.

Let the Caribbean be your world-class oyster, a place filled with seductive opportunities to snorkel, relax, indulge and entertain old friends, or get better acquainted with new ones, aboard the very epitome of modern yachting luxury.

We take the seasickness out of renting a boat in Cartagena by doing all the hard work for you. All you have to worry about is fulfilling your lifetime of Caribbean fantasies in an 8-hour journey. In this serene voyage around the Rosario Islands, the sunshine and smiles come for free.

Your bilingual concierge will pick you up from your hotel in a modern air conditioned vehicle, whisk you and your better half or entourage off to your boat, yacht or speedboat where your personalized island itinerary, for families, couples or groups, kicks off in true Caribbean style.

What’s even better is your fun day in the Rosario Islands helps support ecosystem restoration in Cartagena with a contribution from your boat rental paid to a foundation working on a much-needed mangroves restoration project to the south of the city.

Mangroves capture four times the amount of carbon as forests on land so your donation will help fight the destruction of local ecosystems and offset the carbon generated by your day on the water. It also puts money into the pockets of people that really need it.
