This was my daughter's favorite day in the Caymans. We were a group of six and we loved having our own private tour. The guys were great and took wonderful care of us. We would definitely recommend their services and we would use them again.

Charlie was a fantastic captain and the time with him was great! We swam with stingrays, then snorkeled seeing a variety of fish and a few turtles, went to starfish point to see the starfish, a great stop at a nice restaurant then back. Charlie had clean snorkel gear for us and made sure we were taken care of. Such a nice young man!

While Cody was very nice, our day on the water with him was less than stellar. First, despite warning him that we were coming from a cruise and we had limited time, he arrived 30 minutes late to our planned activity, leading us to lose 30 minutes of boat time. Once on the boat, he took us to star fish point and stingray bay. Both were ok. He was busy helping other boaters around us during those stops which made us feel a little neglected. He informed us that the weather wasn’t conducive to snorkeling (completely out of his control) so we made a pit stop at some restaurant. We were there maybe 10-15 minutes and no one acknowledged us during that time so we just decided to head back. To finish things off, Cody told us he was going to leave us at a different dock that would be closer to the cruise ship port. He called us a taxi but once we got off the boat the taxi was nowhere to be found. And while the dock was 5 minutes closer to the port than the initial meeting point, it was in an industrial section of town with no public bus and no taxi in sight. We ended up having to run for 40 minutes to make it back on the ship on time! The dock he left us at was the filling station for his boat. That’s why he wanted to stop there! All in all, I would never recommend this to anyone. Complete waste of money!

We had a wonderful time on our excursion. We went to 3 great spots to snorkel. I would definitely use this tour again.

Capt Cody and First Mate Charlie were the perfect crew for our day on the water. They arrived at the pick up spot early. The boat was the ideal size for 4 guests and we were in the water and enjoying all that Grand Cayman has to offer less than 25 minutes after stepping foot on their boat.
The highlight of the day was getting our own private stingray experience away from the craziness of stingray city. We were up close and personal with 7-8 of them and it was just us! The day was capped off with a few drinks at Rum Point and then a smooth ride home. The private charter is the only way to see all these sights in a day!
These guys are amazing. If you’re thinking of doing this, ask for Captain Cody. You will NOT be disappointed.

We had a great time with Capt Cody. He took us to two different spots to hang with the stingrays because the first was a little crowded. The boat ride was fun and he is very knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommend!
Andrew_H, Mar 2026
Capt Cody and his mate Charlie were amazing guides for a private excursion. They knew exactly how to interact with the stingrays and knew the best snorkeling spots you can’t see without a boat guide. Amazing!

We loved our three tour with Captain Cory and Charlie! They did a great job bring us to all the go to spots for snorkeling and feeding the amazing stingrays! We'd definitely do it again 😊

It was a great day on the water. Cody and Charlie were awesome! We would recommend this tour to anyone.

We had a great morning on the water with Captain Cody. We wanted to go on a stingray and starfish excursion without the crowds, and this was the perfect way to do it. Captain Cody took us to see both the stingrays and starfish, and we also had time to snorkel in beautiful, clear water.
On the way back, we stopped at the Kaibo beach bar for a rum punch before heading in. Captain Cody was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. It was a fantastic day on the water, and we would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Grand Cayman.

Wish there was a way to give more than 5 stars. Our time on the water with captain Cody was the highlight of our trip to the Cayman Islands. His vast knowledge of the island and experience as a naval engineer made us feel safe and relaxed the entire excursion. We swam with sting rays, snorkeled, and held starfish. Hoping to come back soon and do this trip again. Thanks you Cody for an unforgettable experience.

Stay Salty Charters were great. Easy to find pick up location. The Captain Mark was on time and we headed out to Stingray city with ease. When we arrived it was already very busy so he took us to a smaller spot that had just a few stingrays and we enjoyed that experience much more than if we stayed in the massive group of people. We then went to a snorkeling site and to see the starfish. Boat was clean, we were able to choose our music. Cold water provided. It was a very relaxing fun day!

Our tour guide was interactive and fun. Very informative and nice. Kept his boat organized. We had a great time.

Our outing with Captain Eduardo was great — he took us to spots that made sense for our toddler, the ride was smooth, and he was super knowledgeable about the island. Stingray City was an absolute highlight.

The BEST boat tour!!! A must-do activity while in the Grand Cayman. We were looking for a private boat tour and hotel recommended a couple of companies that were double the price. I was somewhat skeptical that deal was too good to be true but it wasn't! You get picked up at a small marina near 7 mile beach and don't have to deal with any crowds. Cody was so friendly, has a beautiful boat and insider knowledge. We got to see the sting rays, go to shell island and drink delicious mud slides at a beach bar only accessible by boat. Book this you will not regret!!!

We booked a boat for our family of 4. They picked us up at the hotel dock and we got right into action. Great experience.

Cody is very knowledgeable and helped us in and out of the boat. Friendly and fun to be around would recommend him any day.

As someone who has visited the island many times, I’ve done all of the excursions. My wife came to the island for the first time so I wanted to find something smaller (that isn’t 50 people packed into a single boat). We came across Capt Cody and his long list of great reviews. So we booked him. The day was nothing less of spectacular. Because we chose to go with Capt Cody and a smaller boat, the experience for my wife was 1000% better. No worries of other people. Just us. Capt Cody was also extremely accommodating in every aspect of this excursion and made certain we were able to do what we wanted (my wife wanted sting rays and starfish LOL). Don’t waste your precious time on giant boats filled with tourists. Pay a bit extra and truly enjoy the intimacy of the island with few people. Capt Cody won’t let you down!

Don’t go through anyone else. These guys are the absolute best. Down to earth. Fun and friendly. Custom tailored the tour to avoid crowds and give us the best experience. Treated us like family. We will only use Cody and Dion from now on! Pete and Adrienne.
Derek_O, Jul 2025
Captain Deon did a great job personalizing the experience to fit our family. He was personable and his boat was well equipped with needed items.
Lauren_J, Jun 2025
Great experience with our family! The boat guide was very down to earth and wanted us to have a great day!
Jeremy_O, Jun 2025
Amazing adventure. Such an amazing time!!! The snorkeling was better than ever expected. Stingray City is a must see for everyone.
Susan_C, Jun 2025
Captain Mark was great! He made sure we had a wonderful experience with the stingrays and the whole experience was awesome!
TimothyP_C, Jun 2025
First of all, my wife and I are not swimmers...so our experience is a little different. Our guide Deion was awesome! He got it, and made sure we were comfortable on everything we did. He tailored our adventure to "chest high" water. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Made for a great morning. And he was the "sting ray whisperer"! They swarmed him in the water. My wife got great pics of me holding and getting "kissed" by them. Definitely recommend this tour!
Stephanie_K, May 2025
Eduardo was amazing! Super knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable getting in the water at Stingray City, I was going to be a chicken 😂
He also took us to some super cool snorkeling spots that were just like being in the middle of an aquarium. He’s very knowledgeable and super friendly! Highly recommend this three hour private charter!
Maria_B, Apr 2025
We had a fantastic time swimming with the stingrays, starfish, and snorkeling with Captain Cody! Cody was very knowledgeable about the sea life and the island. We were able to snorkel as long as we wanted and he let us set the pace of the morning which was nice. My kids had a blast! Definitely recommend!
Jennifer_F, Mar 2025
We had a great day out on the water with Captain Cody! As a born and raised Caymanian, he is incredibly knowledge, as well as friendly and personable. He tailored our experience to exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend anyone looking to charter to do so with Cody!
Cheryl_W, Jul 2024
We did a morning charter and it did NOT disappoint. From start to end, Captain Cody was courteous and kind. He listened to what was important for us to see and do and we had a great time. He was knowledgeable about where to go to avoid crowds, staying in shallow water (which was important for us). He also shared some very cool information about the marine life and environment which was very interesting.
His boat was clean and perfect for our party of four. It was a great value and we would definitely recommend this charter!
Melissa_L, Jun 2024
We had a perfect day on and in the water with Captain Eduardo! Made three stops with different goals at each, and our whole crew of 5 was super happy! Captain Eduardo helped us avoid the heaviest crowds. This was one of several excursions during our cruise, and everyone in our party says this was their favorite!
dkr9009, Jun 2024
Cody was such an amazing captain! He tailored everything to the needs of us our 2 small children. My son won’t stop talking about it and wants to come back again. Thank you thank you Cody for such a memorable time with our family!
