Viajar en Catamarán a Providencia La maravillosa sensación de navegar

catamaran providencia san andres

Con cerca de 10 años de trayectoria, la empresa CONOCEMOS NAVEGANDO ofrece una forma divertida y segura de viajar entre las Islas de San Andrés y Providencia.

Desde 2009 los turistas y residentes del Archipiélago de San Andrés y Providencia tienen una nueva opción para transportarse entre las islas; se trata de los catamaranes “EL SENSATION y EL SPLENDOR”, dos poderosas embarcaciones operadas por la firma “Conocemos Navegando”.

Cada catamarán tiene capacidad de 70 personas y cuentan con todas las comodidades y seguridad para sus usuarios: sillas con cinturón de seguridad, aire acondicionado, pantallas de televisión, baño, GPS, piloto automático, bodegas para guardar el equipaje y un equipo de personas que está pendiente de las necesidades de los viajeros.

“Es una maravillosa sensación de navegar, el recorrido tarda un promedio de 3 horas dependiendo las condiciones del mar y tenemos salidas diarias para los dos trayectos.” Afirmó Fernando Galán, Gerente General de la firma operadora.

El flujo de pasajeros que traslada diariamente hacia Providencia lo convierte un aliado estratégico para el turismo de la isla.

Los catamaranes fueron hechos por la compañía americana Gold Coast Yachts y cada viaje está sometido a rigurosas revisiones tanto por parte del equipo de la compañía como por las autoridades locales.

“Nos sometemos a todas las regulaciones de Capitanía de Puerto, Superintendencia de Transporte, quienes nos hacen seguimiento antes, durante y después de cada salida y realizan sus correspondientes auditorias para constatar que mantenemos actualizados todos los certificados de navegabilidad. Además la Policía se encarga de revisar el equipaje de los pasajeros como norma de seguridad” indicó el directivo.

La reserva se puede realizar a través de diferentes medios: en las oficinas de la empresa, a través de la página www.conocemosnavegando.com o vía telefónica; una vez cancelado el valor se enviará un vaucher que se debe presentar al momento del abordaje en el muelle junto con el documento de identificación y la tarjeta de turismo occre.

La empresa recomienda no ingerir licor la noche anterior, tomar una comida ligera antes del viaje y un medicamento contra el mareo al menos una hora antes de abordar para hacer mucho más divertido y agradable el trayecto.

No se recomienda viajar a personas con condiciones médicas como hipertensión, riesgos cardiovasculares o de columna, recién operadas, personas de la tercera edad y mujeres embarazadas. Tampoco se permiten mascotas a bordo.

“Viajar en Catamarán es una experiencia increíble… cruzar el mar de los 7 colores y llegar a un paraíso como Providencia es algo indescriptible, sin duda el mejor viaje que he tenido en mi vida.” Comenta Juan Carlos Varona, uno de los pasajeros del Splendor.

San Andres and Providencia are both stunning Caribbean islands located off the coast of Nicaragua. San Andres is the larger and more developed of the two, known for its pristine white sandy beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and lively nightlife. On the other hand, Providencia offers a quieter and more secluded experience, with its untouched natural beauty, crystal-clear waters, and a laid-back atmosphere.

When deciding on the best mode of transportation from San Andres to Providencia, it’s important to consider the factors that are most important to you: convenience, speed, comfort, and the overall travel experience. Here’s a comparison of flights and ferry to help you make the right choice:

  • Duration: Flights from San Andres to Providencia have a short duration of approximately 20 minutes, ensuring a quick and efficient journey. On the other hand, the ferry ride takes around 3 to 4 hours, providing a more leisurely and scenic experience.
  • Convenience: Flying is generally considered more convenient, as it allows for a faster and direct route between the islands. The flights operate daily, offering flexibility in choosing departure times that suit your schedule. The ferry, while slower, offers a unique and adventurous experience for those who enjoy being on the water.
  • Comfort: Flights on small aircraft between San Andres and Providencia may be a bit cramped, accommodating around 20 passengers. However, the short duration makes it bearable. The ferry, on the other hand, provides comfortable seating and onboard amenities, allowing passengers to relax and enjoy the journey.
  • Schedule and Availability: Flights have a more reliable and frequent schedule, making it easier to plan your trip in advance. On the other hand, ferry schedules may vary, especially during the off-peak season, so it’s important to check the availability and adjust your travel plans accordingly.
  • Scenic Views: If you appreciate the beauty of the ocean and prefer a slower pace, the ferry offers picturesque views of the Caribbean Sea and the opportunity to take in the coastal scenery. The flight, while quick, may not provide as much opportunity to enjoy the scenic views.

Ultimately, the choice between flying and taking the ferry depends on your personal preferences and priorities. If you value convenience and want to reach Providencia quickly, flying is the ideal option. On the other hand, if you’re seeking a more relaxed journey and want to enjoy the coastal views, the ferry provides a unique travel experience.

Consider the factors that are most important to you, such as time, comfort, and the overall travel experience, and make the decision that best suits your needs. Regardless of the mode of transportation you choose, both flights and ferry rides offer their own charms and will lead you to the tropical paradise of Providencia.

Conclusion:

Choosing the best mode of transportation from San Andres to Providencia depends on your preferences, priorities, and the experience you desire for your journey. Whether you opt for a quick flight or a leisurely ferry ride, both options have their advantages.

If convenience and speed are your top priorities, flying is the way to go. Flights from San Andres to Providencia are quick and efficient, taking just around 20 minutes. This allows you to maximize your time on both islands and explore the breathtaking beaches and vibrant culture as soon as possible.

On the other hand, if you prefer a more relaxed and scenic journey, the ferry provides a unique and adventurous experience. While it takes longer, the ferry ride allows you to soak in the stunning coastal views of the Caribbean Sea and enjoy the leisurely pace of the journey.

Ultimately, consider factors such as duration, convenience, comfort, schedule, and the desire to appreciate the scenic beauty when making your decision. Regardless of whether you choose to fly or take the ferry, both options will lead you to the enchanting paradise of Providencia.
