A Highlight of Our Trip - My family and I had a great time with Cody. Cody was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. His boat was beautiful. Everyone loved the stingrays and starfish. Our trip with Cody was one of the highlights of our trip to Grand Cayman.

Amazing Private Charter in Cayman - We booked a private charter for a group of 10 people and it was absolutely fantastic. If you are on the fence or still considering, let me be your deciding factor, Just Book! Cody and his first mate was so kind, informative and nice. We had a beautiful day out on the water and they took very good care of us. We stopped at the Stingray Sandbar and we got to meet one of their stingray buddies. They are very knowledgeable, not only about the island, but about its animals. They shared so many facts and tips about the stingrays. The best thing compared to the big tour boats. We had our own guide who went and got a stingray, showed us how to handle her, and fed her. The other boats just dump their guests in the water and you fend for yourself. Our guide even fed the other sting rays, which caused all of them to gather around us lending a beautiful snorkeling experience. We then went to Coral gardens, this charter has all the equipment you will need. Which is so handy! We were to go to see starfish but we were starving by this point, so we cut our trip short to go get some food. Only think I would suggest seeing if you can bring food or drinks on board, something we didn't do. We were pretty hungry from all the activities. That's the only thing that could have elevated our experience.

Much better than booking a cruise excursion - Wonderful experience! We chartered the 39’ cruiser for our family of 12, stopping in Grand Cayman for the day from a cruise ship. The directions about where to meet were very clear and easy to follow. The crew got in the water with us at stingray city and taught us all about the animals, how to hold them, etc. Our safety was paramount at all times, and it was their priority that we had the best day, Be very clear with regard to snorkel gear needed. Though it was a five star day and I requested full gear for 12 people, they were short gear. This is even after calling them long distance from the U.S. otherwise, I’m very happy to recommend them and would book with them again in the future.

Amazing experience for the family! Snorkeling and petting the stingrays. Highlight of our 6 day cruise! - We went on a 6 day cruise and this was the highlight of the entire trip. We had a group of 11 and chartered the 36 foot boat for 2 hours. We went snorkeling and then visited the sandbar to pet the stingrays. Cody and Cal were awesome! Cal provided a guided snorkeling tour around the reef and found some different creatures for the kids to see. Then they took us to the sandbar to see the stingrays. They fed them and allowed the kids to pet them, they were blown away by the experience. We will do this again, without a doubt.

Excellent first time charter experience. - Cody was an excellent boat captain. He was thorough, knowledgeable and very reasonable prices. Would book another charter if we make it back to Grand Cayman. We went to Stingray City and Bio Bay.

Tour four twelve - Cody did a great job at making my family feel welcome. He knows the waters and was pretty much the Ray whisperer out at Stingray City.

Amazing Captains - Captain Mark was great and professional. Knew the area and maneuvered us brilliantly amongst the reef and sand bars. Took us to some beautiful locations where no one else thought of stopping at. Island charter had a great report with stingrays at stingray and it was an amazing experience for everyone. I will 100% come back to these pros when we return. Thanks Mark! You guys made the difference, and it was great having just our family on the boat. We did two trips with Island Charter during our stay, one on each boat, and all the activities we could. Sting Ray city and Bio Bay were by far the most exciting, but the barrier reef snorkeling was legit as well if you can deal with some light swells. 10/10 for these guys. Captain Cody and Captain Mark.

A charter for those looking for first class service. - To say that our charter with Cody was perfect as an understatement. First and foremost, the boat is wonderful and spotlessly clean, which is rare for this type of charter. My wife in particular is very fussy when it comes to this sort of thing( we’ve canceled several vacation plans because we’ve shown up and the place or boat was too dirty to suit her) so the second I stepped on his boat ( after he had us remove our shoes) I knew it was gonna be a good day. When we got to stingray city, we were the only boat there we spent almost an hour there by ourselves with my family for and Cody showing us how to hold and kiss the stingrays. It was a magical experience. We had done stingray city once before when we stopped on a cruise and it was miserable because there were 50 or 60 people there. On this private excursion, it was like our own private island. After stingray city, we went to starfish point, which is pretty cool and then he took us to a boat inn restaurant on rum point that had very good food. We finished our trip after dark by bioluminescent Bay, which if you’ve never done this before is completely amazing the glowing plankton surround your body in blue aura. Cody was a great captain. Gave my family, Security and special treatment. We did a full six hour tour and saw everything we wanted to and were not rushed at all, don’t look any further at any other charters just book with Cody.
