Cartagena Laundry, Propane & Boat Services (Manga)

10° 24.8′ N · 75° 32.4′ W · approximate

The everyday services cruisers need are clustered around Manga: next-day laundry through Club Náutico, a laundromat inside the Carulla supermarket, propane refills arranged by the Club Náutico gate, and dozens of trusted day workers.

Practical

Coordinate is approximate, placed at Carulla Manga (OSM), where the LavoMatic laundry is. Laundry: Club Náutico's Lavandería Náutica (WA +57 300 1354760), pick up at the marina with next-day return; LavoMatic inside Carulla Manga (8 am–8 pm, Mon–Sat; also dry cleaning); Lavatu on the Arsenal bay-side road near Puente Román. Propane: leave bottles with the porter at the Club Náutico gate Monday–Friday; the fill station is 25 minutes out of town; small European butane bottles get filled with propane to only 75%. SodaStream: Mikasa Store (WA +57 318 7288202), delivered by courier. Day labor: general boat work runs COP 90,000–150,000/day and a bottom scrub about USD 40 (guide figures; verify locally); all workers entering a marina need ARL insurance. Dive tank fills: Nauticenter (Av. Jiménez 26 #17-49, Manga) or Buceo Cartagena Divers (Bocagrande). Copies of charts: Ingeniería y Diseño, Centro Comercial Getsemaní.
