In this experience, I invite you to enjoy my passions: sailing, the sea, and the beach.
This beach is located beneath the highest coastal mountains in the world, where melted snow flows directly into the Caribbean Sea.
Tayrona National Natural Park is nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, in the Caribbean region of Colombia. Just 34 km from the urban center of Santa Marta, it is one of Colombia’s most important natural parks. It is home to a vast number of species, spread across different ecosystems with varying thermal levels.
I invite you to connect with the locals, share with the coastal people, taste the catch of the day, learn about their culture, and, most importantly, have fun!
Tayrona Park is CLOSED on the following dates:
February 1 – 15
June 1 – 15
October 19 – November 2
But we keep sailing on alternative routes!

What To Expect
Marina Santa Marta
We will meet at 9:00 AM at the Santa Marta International Marina. At 9:30 AM, we will set sail towards our destination. As soon as we leave Santa Marta Bay, we will enter Taganga Bay, a fishing village where tourism has blended with local life. We will continue our journey into Tayrona National Park, passing by Granate Bay, where you can observe traditional artisanal fishing and spot diving schools in action. We will sail past Aguja Island and Playa Brava, heading towards our final destination: Bahía Concha. Here, you can swim, paddle, snorkel, or simply relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings. For lunch, we will indulge in an incredible fresh fish meal (Ceviche). Vegetarian options are available. At 3:30 PM, we will begin our return to the marina—this time, sailing with the wind. We will arrive around 5:00 PM, just in time to enjoy a breathtaking sunset, listen to great local music, and celebrate your visit with us! Let me know if you need any adjustments!

3.00Misleading trip description....it was a one stop trip to a beach where you stayed for 5 hours, whilst we were expecting a tour around the park and maybe dropping anchor a few times for a snorkel and swim. The service was disappointing too . .Just a couple of paper cups of soft drinks on the boat and with lunch.
A great day of sun and sailing

5.00This was a wonderful day trip to enjoy an outstanding beach surrounded by majestic mountain scenery. The crew were super friendly and supported us really well, though it was an all Spanish-speaking crew on our sailing, so it helped a lot that my wife and I speak Spanish and could also help make sure that the other passengers fully understood. The trip to and from the bay was stunningly beautiful and we were very comfortable on the catamaran even though it was quite windy in the morning. The fresh fish for lunch was fantastic, and it was very neat to see the crew catching the fish for us as we cruised along. We ate on the beach rather than on the boat, so don't forget to bring your sunscreen to shore (or ask the crew to bring it when they go back and forth). The beach wasn't crowded and the vendors were walking around but not pushy or any negative behavior. We had an amazing day and this catamaran cruise was a great way to experience a little bit of Tayrona National Park from the sea.

3.00This was not actually a "tour" there was no guide, just the crew on the boat. The boat leaves the marina and goes straight to the bay. There is no guide, no one speaking or telling you where we are going or passing or anything. You go straight to the bay and stay there, have lunch and options to paddle board and snorkeling. Then back to the boat and straight back to the marina. Get off the boat and go home, no sunset on the boat or anything like that explained in the itinerary What is explained in the Itinerary is not what We expected. Please read and research if you expect more on this trip. 1st of all the crew of guys were very nice and helpful, they get 5 stars but the tour only 3. From the pictures that was shown here on TripAdvisor it showed you visiting the Tayrona forest but you only go to the bay and stay there. In my opinion, It is not worth the money. I have been on Catamaran tours before and this was noting like what was explained in the itinerary.
Smooth sailing

5.00Exiting and cool experience going by sailing catamaran ⛵️ The crew was very polite and nice. The beach and surroundings are beautiful. 🏖🏖 We hit on a Sunday, I don't know if that is more popular than other times, but it doesn't felt overcrowded. Even though there was 30-40 other boats at the same time. Snorkeling was appreciated. Heading back, we sat sail, and had a smooth sailing back to Santa Marta Room for improvement... the company(?) Renting sunbeds was not very nice. One price when we arrived and double up when we should pay. If sunbeds has been included, this had been avoided. On a another comment on this trip, it seemed like the link for Google maps, for meeting point was wrong, this is now correct.

5.00I took my mom on this trip for her 60th birthday and it was truly a blast. The crew was very friendly and attentive - making the trip so special. We went to Bahia Concha which surpassed our expectations: we were situated in a more secluded part of the beach which made it feel like a private experience. White sand beach, blue waters, and gorgeous mountain views of Tayrona Park. We settled under a shady tree and spent the afternoon swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying a delicious grilled fish caught that day, with a side of rice and salad.
Beautiful tour

5.00Magical as always is our second time that if, the area I recommend is the Rodadero, the best beach many places to choose to do excursions, I recommend the sailboat to Cocha beach belonging to Tayrona Park, excursion to Playa Blanca and unmissable visit to Palomino, is an excursion to the Don Diego River, where at its mouth meets the sea, the river despite coming down from Sierra Nevada the water to bathe is hot.
