7 Seas is the only full-service production company in Colombia's Caribbean, in Cartagena.

Active since 2010, they built a solid roster of unrivaled interior locations in the city itself and on the Rosary Islands, the impossibly beautiful archipelago that surrounds Cartagena. Let's see what The New York Times has to say in their recent '36 hours in Cartagena' special:

"The UNESCO-designated Old Town, Cartagena’s inner walled city, merges historical architecture with modern shops and restaurants, and is often compared to Old San Juan or New Orleans’s French Quarter. Colombia is one of the world’s biggest coffee producers, so no visit is complete without tasting a local brew. Head to the Getsemani neighbourhood — a funkier-in-a-good-way version of Old Town, and just a short walk away." 

Interested? Then do like Bloomingdale's, J.Crew, Madewell, Bergdorf Goodman and JP Boden and give 7 Seas a call. Their team of producers is brimming with imagination to carry out a production that reflects your image and gives it that extra touch of magic!
