What To Expect

Free transportation from the 7 mile beach area and the cruise ship port.  The boat is located in the newly renovated Cayman Islands Yacht Club where you'll depart from, once you arrive your captain will give you a safety briefing and you can decide what stops you want to do first.  He'll have you sign a liability wavier and you'll be on your way out to the north sound (bay area) which is protected by the barrier reef where you'll do all your activities.  On your way out your captain will tell you about the island and its history.  At each stop you'll be briefed before entering the water to ensure everyone is comfortable and aware of their surroundings. Your stops will include: the infamous Stingray City, a must do for anyone visiting Grand Cayman and it is the ideal interaction for all ages. In our small and private group, you will have the opportunity of a lifetime to see our friendly stingrays. Coral Gardens, a great spot for the average snorkeler. The water is about 8-10 feet where you’ll have a memorable experience surrounded by many tropical fish, maybe catch a glimpse of a moray eel and even a Cayman lobster, who all flourish in the variety of colorful coral life! Starfish beach, a quiet and relaxing spot great for both kids and adults and is approx. 10 mins boat ride from Stingray City. This is one of the most requested tours offered. You’ll have the chance to walk on the shoreline and be captivated by the red and orange starfish which makes taking a photo extra special! Your boat will be a Chaparral 274 sunesta which can seat up 11 guests comfortably with its newly redone seats.  Your boat will be equipped with snorkeling equipment and life vest for everyone, the boat also has a custom heavy duty ladder which makes in and out the water very easy, there is also a restroom on board as well as a cooler with ice, water and sodas.  You are also welcome to bring along your own drinks or food.

  • Great day in Cayman

    We’ve done a lot of excursions, but this is by far the best. The boat they take you one is in great shape. Jason the owner was great to deal with and even helped get us beer the day before because the liquor sales don’t start until after our trip started. Price was our guide and he was great. He brought the stingrays over to us and made everyone, including me and my 8 year old and 6 year old kids feel comfortable. My wife who is afraid of fish even kissed a stingray (when in Rome). The snorkeling was great, although a windy and choppy day. Starfish point was also a phenomenal way to relax. I highly recommend this excursion.

    My family and I had an awesome time on our private boat exploring the 3 different locations. The stingrays were truly an unforgettable experience, being surrounded by so many. The starfish point has minimal starfish, but the beach area itself was beautiful. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see a spectacular part of the Cayman Islands.

  • Highly recommend!

Highly recommend to keep from having the touristy vibes w several people aboard! Loved having a boat trip on ourselves! Thank you Alex!
