★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 174 reviews Our pick

Spend about four hours on a private boat from the Cayman Islands Yacht Club with a captain such as Omar, Dean, Jeffrey, or Chris. You’ll visit Stingray City, snorkel, stop at Starfish Point, and have time for lunch at Rum Point. Gear, drinks, snacks, and transfers may be included, while photos cost extra.

“Best part of our trip! Omar was awesome getting stingrays for our girls to hold & kiss. The kids were super nervous at first & he was very patient until they came around. It was also incredible beating the crowds watching other boats crammed full of ppl who might get 30secs with one. Going private on your own time is definitely the way to go! We also loved the snorkeling. Finishing out with tons of starfish hanging out was the perfect ending. Absolutely incredible & highly recommend. Bring extra cash for pictures. Amai was super sweet & got some great shots of our family enjoying the day.”

Most people were stood up, we weren’t, they communicated with us about 2 hours before the trip to cancel it citing boat issues. Thankfully we were able to find something else at short notice. But based on our experience and other people who have posted their reviews, I would not recommend it.”
