Sail back in time aboard a very well preserved 38 foot classic sailboat, our crew is friendly by nature; he's really kind. The bay of Santa Marta is qualified as one of the most beautiful in America, the view of the historic city from the sea, provides a good experience while you meet new people and our crew. We like to sail, we have years of experience so that the sensation is the most pleasant. Our boat is a 38-foot (12-meter) Shannon with details and finishes in wood and bronze, it is a journey through time, from the five senses. The smell of the interior, the touch of the wood, the interior design, the sound of the machine, are exponents of the best designers and industrialists of the 80's. After an hour of navigation (approx) we drop anchor to socialize and drink a national craft beer or a cocktail (screwdriver). We have a bar sale. Sailing is like flying across the sea.

Great trip while in Santa Marta
Crew made the trip. The guys were fantastic. So friendly. It made our trip great. They made sure we had a wonderful time.
via Viator
Great Captain!
Great captain! Really enjoyed the experience although someone did bring a new baby onboard and it rained. It was scary to watch a new baby with no life jacket. Not the captains fault, but some people are not responsible parents. The snacks were wonderful and a beer was always offered with much concern for the passengers happiness. We really enjoyed the cruise. 5 stars Good people!

Spectacular Experience
The views were spectacular! The crew was accommodating. Dario let my teens steer the boat out by motor into the open sea, and then we sailed (sail up) the way back.
via Tripadvisor
Very disappointed.
They were unable to go due to a family accident. I’m sure there was but they could have notified me sooner. And they also said I was the only reservation. This bad review is on Viator as well as them.

Coolest crew ever
We had a great time! The boat and the evening was cool, but Dario and his crew brought the vibes that made this experience so amazing. I will definitely do this again the next time I’m in Santa Marta

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sunset in the bay of Santa Marta in a sailboat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santa Marta.
How much does Sunset in the bay of Santa Marta in a sailboat cost?
+
Prices start at $62 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Marta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sunset in the bay of Santa Marta in a sailboat take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santa Marta is not rushed.
Is Sunset in the bay of Santa Marta in a sailboat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santa Marta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sunset in the bay of Santa Marta in a sailboat?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sunset in the bay of Santa Marta in a sailboat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sunset in the bay of Santa Marta in a sailboat?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santa Marta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santa Marta and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunset in the bay of Santa Marta in a sailboat start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santa Marta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santa Marta?
+
On Outty we rank every Santa Marta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hike for 4 days to the Lost City, Santa Marta, 4-Day Lost City Small-Group Tour in Santa Marta, 4-Day Walking Tour to Lost City of Sierra Nevada. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santa Marta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santa Marta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
