1.Private, Guided Boat Charters in The Cayman Islands

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 65 reviews Our pick

Take a private four-hour boat charter from Grand Cayman with a local captain such as Liam, Mark, Eduardo, or Dion. Build your own day around Stingray City, Starfish Point, reef snorkeling, Rum Point, Kaibo, or evening bioluminescence. Gear, life jackets, ice, and a Bluetooth sound system are included.

“As most people have commented about their experience, this company is unreliable. 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.”
