Highlights
  • Cra. 1c #22-93 - At 11 am we will board the Artivela, our 56 feet Cooper Mapple Leaf sailboat and we will leave for our destination Bahia Concha in Tayrona Park (or other destination depending on the weather). The navigation to our destination will take approximately 1.5 hours. We will be talking about the park. We will put our rods to go fishing while passing in front of the bay of Taganga and Granate. There we will start the famous Isla Aguja pass, the only island in Tayrona Park. Once we pass the island, we will enter Bahia Concha and try to anchor as close to the beach. Our fellow travelers can choose to swim, walk on the beach, snorkel or just sunbathe on the boat. They will also enjoy a fresh fish dish made right there on the grill.\nAround 3:45 pm we will begin our return to Santa Marta. We will sail and everyone participates. We will arrive at the Marina at 5pm. The Tayrona park closes from October 19 to November 2. We continue sailing other routes

Additional Information

Hello, I’m Luis, a former Economist turned into a professional consultant with over 20 years of experience. However, my true passion lies with sailing and immersing myself in nature, particularly the sea. It’s a joy that has run in my family and became a part of me before I even turned a month old. Now, I dedicate myself to imparting my knowledge of sea navigation to the folks joining me on this adventure. Upon moving to Colombia with my kin, I’ve had the privilege to discover Tayrona in a way not many get to - from the vantage point of the sea. It’s a one-of-a-kind adventure that I can’t wait to share with you. You’ll find me to be bilingual, fluent in both Spanish and English and passionately sharing local anecdotes. I promise you a memorable day. The exploration is led either by me or my crew, comprising lifelong sailor Didier, and Alvaro and Jeison, both biologists with an enduring love for the ocean. Please be advised, Tayrona park remains closed from October 19 to November 2. However, our sailing expeditions will still be underway along other routes.

Great day trip! - I enjoyed the boat ride, swimming, SUP, and snorkeling. The staff were very kind and helpful. Thank you for taking care of us! On the weekend, expect the area to be filled with other boats, load music, etc, though it is still worth it. I would do it again.

Great sandy beach! - Lucky to have such a beautiful day. Went midweek which makes it not crowded at all! There were only 5 people on board and 3 crew. Luis does sail with you though these guys took incredible care of us. We all enjoyed the grilled fish lunch prepared by the crew. The snorkeling was good for a variety of corals I had not seen before. Strangely, not a lot of fish. We motored to the bay and sailed most of the way back.

Great tour - can definitely recommend for a nice day away - Really chill day out. The boat itself sails at a nice speed so quite relaxing. My group consisted mostly of families and couples who were all very nice. Really enjoyed the lunch and spending time snorkeling and on the beach.

Relaxation - Relaxing experience, very good service. We recommend that they improve punctuality because we leave 1 hour after the agreed time.

First Colombian Tour - We really enjoyed the food and beach. The boat crew and Taylor were very friendly and helpful., and the boat was great. I only wish there were more than one crew member who spoke English and he was a little more fluent. We got by fine with the minimal Spanish/English combo. 👍😉

Disappointing... - I purchased this sailing as a gift for a friend and her son, as they helped me dearly with a family emergency. Even though the weather was perfect, they were never offered snorkel equipment/services and no paddleboards were in sight, as advertised; they were supposed to be included in the price I paid. This experience was unfortunate and disappointing... There were similar experiences I could have purchased, but I guess I made the wrong choice.
