Northern Local Beaches: a Caribbean coastline to discover

The view begins changing as soon as the boat leaves Santa Marta Bay. Mountains meet the sea, the coastline takes center stage, and every destination reveals another side of the city. This route makes conversation, observation, and the journey itself as memorable as each stop.

A private journey made for good company

Traveling privately changes the rhythm of the day. Your group shares the boat without mixing with other travelers. Playaca opens the journey; Rosita and Mar de Pez add new scenery; Taganga and Playa Grande complete the experience with unmistakable Caribbean character.

  • Make navigation an essential part of the day rather than a simple transfer.
  • Share the views, conversation, and music in a space reserved for your group.
  • Anchor at Playaca, Taganga, and Playa Grande when maritime conditions permit.
  • Choose the private boat that best suits your experience.
