Hi guys
There a boat from Miami to Cartagena every Friday. It takes about 3 days and cost about 500 dollars.
I can sent you the information for the shipping agent. Also if you ship in November maybe we can share, since I'm looking to shipping a car down to Colombia sometime this year!

I shipped my bike from Miami to Bogota in February
I used the services of American wings, a freight forwarder in Miami
In terms of costs:
paid to American Wings
wooden crate $250 ( the bike is s F800GS) - (I gave them back the crate in Bogota)
Air Waybill $25
Dangerous Good declaration $75
Shippers export documents $30
Delivery to airline (in this case Centurion) $30
Export documents $150
Air freight $650.15
Then later at night another $125 for Dangerous good again (ro the airline)
which gives us a total of : $1335.45
In Bogota it is about $45 for the cost of unloading, etc...
grand total $1380,45

I used air to bring my bike to Cali. Arrow Airlines. The shipping agent was called GDL logistics situated in Miami airport. He was the one with the boat contacts to Cartagena, but I do not recommend using this guy. He dropped my bike and destroyed my pannier and foot pegs and refused to compensate. I have argued with him for 6 month and he's an idiot.

Any Miami to Bogota updates/fresh new reliable flights or shippers
Anyone had recent successful dealings with transport from Miami to Bogota? We can either fly motorbikes (2) air cargo (first choice) or ship by boat (last choice).

Shipping by plane is going to be really expensive. Air freight is far and away the most costly way to ship a vehicle. Take a look at the information here on the A-1 Auto Transport page for shipping a bike to Bogota. It's no safer to have it flown than it is to have it delivered by boat. The only downside is that it may take a little bit longer, in which case you'll have to decide if the cost of air shipping is worth it.

Shipping to Colombia
When it comes to shipping bikes of off-road vehicle cars to Colombia is important to be aware of the full details of the process.
Customs in Colombia could be very complicated but USG is very helpful with agent.
