Cartagena, also known as the Old Town of Cartagena de Indias, is the unchallenged queen of the Caribbean Coast. Originally founded in 1533 as an important Spanish port, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Old Town is all about centuries-old, high colonial stone walls that peer out over the brilliantly blue Caribbean, while leafy boulevards make walking around a pleasure. Immersing yourself in theatre, art, and history is equally exciting as taking a dip in the sea. However, nothing beats the feel of the wind of the high seas in your face as you take a boat out onto the ocean. Here are the best places to rent a boat in Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia – from private charters and sailboats to yachts and catamarans, there’s something here to suit everyone!
