4.Private, luxury, custom charters to Stingray City, Snorkeling & More

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 488 reviews · from $610 per boat (seats 8)

Take a private boat for up to eight people around Grand Cayman’s North Sound. Choose Stingray City, Starfish Point, Rum Point, reef snorkeling, mangroves, or an evening Bio Bay outing. Captains such as Kyle, Noah, Marcel, and Lars are known for calm instruction, local wildlife facts, and flexible timing.

“Worth every dollar! We had the entire boat to ourselves- no lines- no hurrying to get a 15second photo op like the other boats full of people. Noah and Kyle were by far the best charter crew we’ve experienced in all of the Caribbean. Kyle managed to mitigate the choppy seas like a seasoned Captain. I highly recommend this company. We charter and owned boats this size, and couldn’t complain about anything! Graham was on point with all information related to our charter and in communication timely, and made sure we knew when and where to be at what time. Made our teen grandson say it was the best thing…”

Robert Jr., Poncho, and Drew are among the crew members praised for friendly, careful service.

“Had a great time and met nice people. Crew were friendly and knowlegable. Starfish point seems a little over used and given the limited starfish people should be restricted from handling them.”
