    Highly highly recommend! It was incredible! Ryan and Brandon ensured we had a glorious time. The tour was absolutely customized to our needs and it felt great. The boat is in great shape and we had shade all day. Safety was paramount and led to an enjoyable day. I will hopefully book them again soon. Well worth the private tour price. I hope you get a special treat like we did!!!

    1/2 day boat trip. They took us to a very crowded stingray city, but we were a small group that stayed removed for the pack. Which made it feel like a very personalized experience. We were able to pet, handle and swim with many beautiful stingrays. Truly a unique experience. From there, we snorkeled. Our guide caught fresh conch and made ceviche for us on the boat. Then we ventured to a location with many starfish we were able to view and hold. Incredible day, and incredible guides. I cannot recommend this experience enough.

    Stingray city

    Stingray city, starfish beach and stop for cocktails at a charming beach bar. Jonathan was very knowledgeable and was a great captain even during slightly choppy seas!

    John was very knowledgeable and helpful in showing us and taking us to the attractions. Due to choppy waters, we couldn’t do the snorkeling

    Absolutely amazing excursion- keep on swimming 🐠🐟

    Jonathan and John were absolutely AMAZING! Communication was very responsive even when our ship was delayed. Jonathan was at pick up ahead of schedule. He took us to get snacks and beverages on the way to the boat. Our excursion included private meet and greet with the sting rays. They gave us the history of the stingrays describing the males and females as well as helped us each hold the stingrays for a good amount of time ! Great photo ops📸. The females were massive but so gentle and kind. I was so scared at first but they guys were supportive and patient with us as we found our comfort amongst the sea life. Our next stop they took us to snorkel off of 7 mile beach. This was amazing. They fed the fish off the reef so they would come near us. It was truly like swimming with Dori and Nemo!!🐠🐟🐡. Lastly we went to star fish point for our final destination. They toured the surrounding coast and pointed out the homes of famous people as well as described the history of parts of the island. Their personalities were the BEST!! I would highly recommend these guys !! Thanks to them .. it was our favorite excursion of the entire week long cruise !!! Thank you Jonathan and John !

    Fantastic excursion once able to reach them!

    Big hitch with their online calendar and initially some trouble reaching the owner. Once got through the excursion was amazing! Stingray city, snorkeling, starfish point, seeing sea turtle all covered. Great crew.

    A highlight of our anniversary trip!

    Andrea_G, Nov 2023
    My husband and I spent the day on the water to celebrate our anniversary. The trip was excellent! Our skipper Garone took us to all the great places and knew how to avoid the crowds. We bypassed the crowds at Stingray City and he took us to another spot with no crowds where we could still interact with the rays. The snorkeling was some of the best that we’ve seen. The water is so clear and teeming with fish, it reminded us of Bora Bora. The charter was great at communicating and we planned ahead of time to stop at a beach bar for lunch and it was excellent. All in all a great trip and would not hesitate to book again.

    Awesome experience

    Best boat tour experience to date. Our captain was Tyrel. He was knowledgeable and accommodating. We had fun, particularly with the stingrays.

    Great Excursion

    Best travel experience

    Marie_B, Apr 2023
    This is one of the best tours in Cayman Island! I would highly recommend!!! At first, we were skeptical due to the rainy weather but our captain Tyrell was very kind and assured us that we will have an amazing time. AND WE DID!!!! My kids were sooooo happy and grateful for the experience!!! 5 stars service!!!!!!

    A great experience, would certainly do it again.

    charles_w, Feb 2023
    We had an amazing time on this tour, Tyrel was a lot of fun and went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great time.

    Fun in the Sun

    We had a fantastic experience with Caribbean Time Watersports. Captain Willis was wonderful! The weather wasn't great leaving the seas a bit rough but we still got to do a little snorkeling. 4 of the 6 of us had been to Stingray City before but this was a way better experience. We each got to hold the stingray and it was amazing. We also got to hold some starfish at starfish point. We highly recommend this charter and this company! Enjoy.

    AMAZING day charter in Grand Cayman!

    Dawn_G, Jan 2023
    Everything! The captain and first mate we’re phenomenal, well prepared, personable and extremely knowledgeable during the entire experience. 12/10 would recommend to anyone looking to charter a private experience in Grand Cayman!

    Stingray Hunt!

    Willis was great and very flexible. Definitely had local knowledge to share that helped us get the best value for the time we had!

    Great half day on the water in grand cayman!

    Great private charter in Grand Cayman. Willis took great care of us. Boat was in great condition and accommodated our party of 8. Highly recommend. It was nice to avoid the big group tours with this private charter with Caribbean Time Water Sports.
