Great day on the water
Sea La Vie is a beautiful boat and we loved checking out the islands. I researched options and knew we did not want to be on a bigger cruise with a lot of people. This was our family of 4 (2 daughters in their 20’s.) the captain took us to various spots to snorkel and swim. The coral topography was very interesting and some fish but definitely had better snorkeling. We only speak a little Spanish so it took awhile to communicate that we did not want a beach club for lunch. We wanted something low key and less pricey. The place the captain found for us was perfect. Delicious food and tranquil. All in all a great day.

Luxury in Cartagena!
This was one of our favorite tours in Cartagena, the private day on the islands was absolutely amazing! The captain (Zenon) and deck hand (Ilan) were both extremely professional and very experienced to handle the afternoon winds as we returned to port. The boat was perfect for our family's size (6 adults, 2 small children). They tailored our day to fit our needs -- relax and enjoy the waters! The price is more than worth what you are getting.
My only recommendation to Sea la Vie, regarding the lunch, please consider advertising pricing for the Beach Club that you are first taken to, as it includes an entry fee and food minimum. Let your customers know that there are other options; the captain picked up that we were not interested in the Beach Club and took us to another location where the service was stellar -- I wish I knew their name to leave them a review!
Operator response
We're thrilled that your experience was one of your favorites in Cartagena. I’ll pass your kind words to Captain Zenon and Ilan — they’ll be so glad to hear you felt safe and well cared for.
Really appreciate your feedback about lunch too. Great call out, and thanks for helping us improve.
Hope to welcome you all back again soon!

The boat was clean and...
The boat was clean and modern. The crew was very friendly. The vendor was also very responsive and was flexible in accommodating my departure time. Booking through viator was far cheaper than booking with any other vendor. Highly recommend.

Awesome tour, excellent service!
Our full day tour to Islas del Rosario was awesome! Cyril was very professional, attentive and always responded promptly to our requests. He helped us with reservations at Capri which we LOVED!. The boat crew Liam and Tarso were really nice, polite and accommodating! They made sure we were safe, comfortable and hydrated. Boat was clean and comfortable for 7 of us! We truly enjoyed our tour to Islas del Rosario, specially Capri.

This is such a perfect boat to hire for your island adventure. The excellent crew (captain and sailor) were experts in driving the boats and taking us to the perfect sights to snorkel and see all of the different islands. We chose to stop at a beach club and enjoy lunch which was perfect! The captain knew how to navigate the choppy waters on our way back to Cartagena so that we were safe and comfortable. Highly recommend!!

Worth every penny. Much better than a group ride.
Sensational. It is worth every penny invested because we know beautiful places, in the time we planned. The day before I had done a similar tour in Group. Even though it is a VIP package, it is not comparable to a private tour because we do not go in only places prepared for tourists. Even the place to dive is another thing. It doesn't even seem to be in the same area.

Beautiful boat, experienced Capt.= perfect day on the water!
My friend and I had a wonderful day on Sea La Vie! We live on the coast in Florida and my brother is a charter captain - I have been on boats for years and Capt Zenon drove the boat like a skilled professional. It was windy and rough but he drove so well it felt very smooth and relaxing. First mate Liam was extremely helpful, we do not speak good Spanish but he was very quick to use Google translator and make sure we were doing all the island adventures we wanted to do. We loved the snorkeling, saw an eel, baby barracuda, spiny starfish, lobster and all the pretty fish. Then they took us to see the frigate bird rookery which was very special. We had a wonderful lunch at Puau beach club, and on the way back to CTG Capt stopped off to show us the raccoons and iguanas. The boat is very clean, comfortable and clearly well maintained. A great day and we are happy to have booked Sea La Vie!

No English spoken lack of initiative
If you don’t speak Spanish don’t hire the boat. Deceptive advertising as not told English not spoken
Operator response
We're sorry to hear that the language barrier was an issue for you. We appreciate your feedback and would like to clarify that our advertising didn't specify the availability of an English-speaking guide. We provided you all the information in english before your tour and answered your questions.
Thank you
