Private charter · Artivela 56ft sailboat

The sailboat, just for your group

Rent the entire Artivela and sail the Caribbean your way. A private day aboard the 56ft ocean sailboat, with captain and crew at your service — no strangers, no shared schedules, at your own pace. Up to 25 guests.

The experience

A sailboat with oceanic history, all to yourself

The Artivela is a Cooper Maple Leaf 56ft with two world circumnavigations under her keel — solid, proven and trustworthy. As a private charter, the whole deck belongs to your group. It's the ideal plan to celebrate a birthday, a proposal, an anniversary, or simply to treat your people to a day at sea with no one else on board.

FAQ

Everything you need to know

How many people fit on the private charter?

The Artivela holds up to 25 guests. The private rate is for the whole boat: it doesn't change with the number of people, always within the maximum capacity. So bring your group and make the most of it.

What does the private rate include?

It includes the whole boat with captain and crew, fuel, water and ice, and snorkel, kayak and paddle equipment. Separately, per person, you pay the official fees: marina entrance ($12,000), park insurance ($7,000) and park entrance to Cinto or Cristal ($10,000). Lunch is not included; if you'd like it, we'll arrange it.

Can we choose the route?

Yes, within what sea conditions and safety allow. The most popular destination is Tayrona National Park, but we build the plan together.

Is it good for a birthday or a proposal?

It's one of our favorite plans for that. Let us know what you're celebrating and we'll gladly help make it unforgettable.

Can I have a party on board?

Yes, outside Tayrona National Park, where music is completely prohibited. If you want to play music, choose a destination outside the park and we'll set up the party on board.

How do I book and pay?

Message us on WhatsApp to check availability for your date. We arrange a deposit to secure your booking and the balance on the day of the trip.
