Cartagena Fishing invites you to join them on a memorable offshore fishing trip in Colombia. The crew has over 35 years of fishing experience among themselves and will do their best to get you on the fish and keep you there. Anglers of all ages and skill levels are welcome, and the captain will take care to make sure the trip is tailored to your needs.

The boat is a 38' Todomar sportfishing vessel that's powered by twin 250 HP Suzuki engines. There's plenty of room on the boat for up to seven people to fish in comfort, so why not bring the whole family along for the ride? The boat is equipped with all the necessary gear and electronics needed for a safe and productive trip, letting you focus on the fishing itself.

Colombia is one of the best places to be if you're at all into big-game fishing. From Mahi Mahi to Cobia, Marlin, and Tuna, these waters are every angler's dream. There are plenty of bottom feeders like Snapper to find as well if you want to catch something tasty. The crew prefers deep dropping and vertical jigging but will do whatever is needed to help you hook the catch of your dreams.

Our Crew goes above and beyond to make sure your fishing experience was everything you hoped for. Tipping 15% to 20% of the total charter cost is considered standard for a fishing crew, with the final amount depending on the quality of service. Unlike restaurant tipping, the crew's hard work is the primary basis for the tip, not the number of fish caught, since that is often beyond their control.

Rods, reels, and terminal tackle come included in the price of the trip, along with the necessary fishing licenses. There are also drinks to be found aboard, so the only thing that's really missing is you! All ages welcome!

Well organized fishing charter.
Full Day Trip - Deep Dropping on February 6, 2026

We had an absolutely outstanding full-day fishing trip with this boat. From the moment we left the dock, the captain made our entire family feel safe, comfortable, and excited for the day ahead — especially our kids. We spent the day exploring beautiful islands, fishing in different spots, and learning about the area. The captain's knowledge of the waters was incredible — he always knew exactly where to go, and it showed. Before we knew it, we had a cooler full of fish, which made the experience even more exciting for the kids. What really made this trip special was how patient and friendly the captain was. He took time to help the children with their rods, explain what was happening, and celebrate every catch. It wasn't just a fishing trip — it was a real family adventure. This was hands-down one of the best experiences of our vacation in Cartagena. We left with amazing memories, great photos, and more fish than we could believe. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and successful fishing trip for the whole family

Full Day Trip - Offshore Special on August 29, 20253 adults

The crew worked hard to get you on the fish. We dis catch a few fish but we had to work hard for it. Catching fish is not easy but they went well out of there way to make it happen. I know this because Im a commercial fisherman with my own boat.

From the start of my life, I was born into a salt family. The first time I was taken fishing was at the age of 2. Fishing is part of my soul. From then on, I set out to conquer all styles of fishing from the high county in Colorado to the Colombian Caribbean. I became more and more knowledgeable as time progressed, as one would. My passion for others to have a great fight and enjoy a fish for dinner the same day is my goal for our customers.
