Fabulous boat day! - We had an awesome time snorkeling. On our bucket list trip to grand cayman we decided a private charter made more sense so we could ask the captain to take us to his favorite spots rather than being on a set schedule. Captain Dion was great and showed us a variety of snorkeling areas, all beautiful! Would definitely recommend!

amazing experience - took a 4 hour morning / afternoon tour. this is a "small business" with a couple of boats and operators. Clay was our driver/ tour guide. this was an incredible experience condensed down into 4 hours, i didnt want it to end. i cant say enough good about how Clay took care of us the entire time, was very knowledgeable and didnt only take us to the hot spots but also explained EVERYTHING from wildlife to history of the areas. we had considerable weather move in on us in the North Sound essentially blocking us from getting back to the pickup point, Clay was very aware of the weather and took it into consideration regarding time and travel. I would suggest selecting the pickup point be Rum Point as it will give you more time in the water and less time traveling across the Sound. the boat ride was really enjoyable however.
this experience made me want to come back and spend dedicated time at Grand Cayman.

Grand Cayman Must Do - Cody ensured we had a safe, and comfortable experience snorkeling and seeing stingray city and seeing the starfish. His boats are well cared for.

Fun, relaxing day 😎 - We had a 4 hour tour with Captain Mark and it was really fun. He is very knowledgeable and you can tell his passion and love for all the marine lives around the island.
We got to interact with the stingrays (amazing), went for a little snorkeling, and then spent some time at Starfish point . We also got to view a gorgeous sunset from Starfish Point and finally went to the bioluminescent bay where we saw the water came to life as we swam around in the dark.
Overall, we did lot in those 4 hours but never felt rushed at any point. Just really want to commend Mark for keeping our tour organized :)).
Great way to spend a few hours on the water and getting to visit some interesting spots on the island !!

Magical!!! - Captain Mark was easy going and accommodating in picking us up near our condo. He was very knowledgable and answered all our questions. He's a local and you can tell he loves his job! This excursion was the highlight of our trip. I chose the private charter since my daughter has autism and I didn't think she would be comfortable on a boat with a bunch of strangers. I was so excited she got in the water and interacted with the stingrays. The snorkeling was also wonderful. Made my son feel comfortable with his first time in deep water. Highly recommend this excursion!

Amazing, would do this again! - This is absolutely, hands-down worth every penny. Capt. Mark knows the fun facts about the marine life, the “puppy” sting rays love him, and we had a wonderful and unique time with him. We made memories, which is what we wanted - an experience to look back on and smile.
House keeping items: The boat is clean and in top shape, bottle waters and an ice cooler is available which we threw our food/drinks in, and the new snorkeling gear is really nice. The pickup at Cayman Bay is easy and the company is very responsive.
We recommend this without hesitation. If we are back in the Cayman Islands, we will book again and will request Capt. Mark.

An Experience Unlike Any Other - We used Island Charters for the six hour private tour on the smaller boat with just four adults. Our Captain and guide for the day was Mark. First off, he was awesome all throughout the day. You can tell he loves his job, loves meeting people, but more importantly loves the Grand Cayman sting rays. He was excited as us to be in the water with them. Second the stops were great. We met at Camana Bay, went to Sting Ray City, then a snorkel spot, then Starfish Point, then Kiabo for supper on the beach and to the Bioluminescent Bay last. The sting rays were beautiful and unique and they were every where. Probably 25 immediately flocked to us, and we were about to hold and feed them. The coolest thing to me personally though was the Bioluminescent Bay. I have never seen anything quite like that. It felt and looked like magic or that we were in the Avatar movies. The boat was comfortable with dry space storage, a cooler full of water and ice and we brought a few beers and seltzers to add to it. We have been to a lot of islands and done about seven or eight boat days, and if you love marine life, this has been the top one. Highly recommended by all four of us.

Amazing and would do it again. - The stingrays were the most memorable. Cody showed us how to hold them and he even told us some of their names and the history behind them.
