Best stingray city and starfish point tour guides! The tour was great and Marcel and Noah were fabulous tour guides! They were very knowledgeable in explaining the history around Stingray City, sharing details about stingrays and starfish, and all around great tour guides. The boat was brand new and their snorkel gear was great. We couldn’t stop speaking about how this tour was one of our favorite things we did on vacation and that was mainly in part to Marcel and Noah.read moreread less

BioBay evening in Grand Cayman Visiting for a family wedding, we were treated to a wonderful trip to BioBay one evening. The whole event was fun - lovely ride in the evening and swimming in bioluminescence water. Marcel was out captain and did a great job with safety, explaining what we were seeing, and just being fun!read moreread less

Great trip!! We had an amazing tour with John and Kyle! We saw stingray city, starfish point, stoped for a great beach dinner and then visited the bio bay. From the minute they picked us up until they dropped us back off the attention to detail was outstanding. We are a family of 5 with 3 girls ages 9, 14, & 16. They have varying degrees of bravery and Kyle and John helped each of them in exactly the right way. They didn’t even complain about the teenage girl music the girls played on the boat :)read moreread less

AMAZING! To say that this excursion was amazing is an understatement! Kyle, our boat Captain, and Noah, his trusty crewmate, were complete professionals in every way. Not only was it clear that they know how to safely handle a boat out on the open water, as well as docking it and maneuvering it, but they were so FUN! Both of them had the best personalities and had extensive knowledge of Grand Cayman, the stingrays, the local wildlife, etc. They were simply the best! Our whole family agrees that this was the highlight of our trip! I highly recommend them!!! Thank you Noah and Kyle ( and Kyle: I’m sorry I called you Noah when we said goodbye, my family informed me I mixed up yours and Noah’s names for most of the trip. Sigh. Haha!) :)read moreread less

Another great time with Cobalt Custom Charters. Second time hiring Cobalt for a Stingray city and snorkeling trip in Grandu Cayman. The guides are awesome and their boats are quality. Marcel and Johnny made my young kids feel comfortable in the water and around all the beautiful sea life. Will certainly hire them next time we are in town.

A great day on the boat My wife and I chartered a boat for a private tour and had the most incredible experience. Kyle and Noah were our boat captains and they made the experience most enjoyable. They were very knowledgable and provided a great experience with the Sting Rays, the Starfish and some snorkeling to go along with as well. When we return to the Caymans we will be chartering again with these guys. Outstanding!read moreread less

Worth every penny! What a great experience and ride, Lars and Andrew were great, from the moment they picked-us-up at the hotel, through all the sites they took us to drop-off back in the hotel. If you are in doubt wether the bot tour is worth the money, please take my word for it, IT’S TOTALLY WORTH IT! Snorkeling at Rum Point was, to me, the best part of the day. It’s one of the most beautiful places I have ever dived in. Thank you guys. We’ll definitely be coming back.read moreread less

Amazing Experience I am not one to write reviews but felt compelled to share the wonderful experience. Graeme and Travis are one of a kind. They were knowledgeable, sweet, fun and made us feel safe at all times. My husband and teenagers (16 & 14) had an unforgettable experience swimming and kissing the stingrays, snorkeling and chillin with starfish! We stopped for lunch at Kaibo beach bar (absolutely gorgeous). This excursion was the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend using Cobalt Custom Charters. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Top Notch Experience My husband, daughter and I used Cobalt Blue Custom Charter on our cruise stop to Grand Cayman. They picked us up at our pre-arranged time exactly on-time and drove us to the boat. Everything about our adventure was absolutely perfect. There was a cooler of ice and water and the boat was clean and ready for us immediately. We were on our way and headed out for our first stop, Sting Ray City. Marcel's knowledge about the Sting Rays was notable and he knew one particular ray that kept swimming near us. Marcel was truly bothered to see that this ray was recently injured. Marcel had a genuine heart of compassion for the marine life. This compassion put us ease and he made sure we had had positive interactions with the rays. Our daughter was nervous about feeding the rays and Marcel offered solutions so even though she was uncomfortable that she still had a pleasant and personalized encounter. Each of us got to feed and hold and touch these amazing sea creatures.
Our next stop was to snorkel off Rum Point. We were suited up and on our way.
We were the only boat and snorkel group for miles, and it made for just a fantastic experience. Marcel was in the water guiding us, but he let us set the tone and roam as we wished. There were lots of very colorful fish to see. Noah manned the boat and towed us back to the boat at the end of our snorkel which was appreciated in this rough water day.
Our final stop was to Starfish Beach. Marcel found and safely brought us each our own starfish to interact with. We learned all sorts of interesting things and this was such a fun stop on our tour.
Both Noah and Marcel were just amazing. We learned so much and we were showed how to safely and respectfully interact with all the sea life. They made us feel at home and comfortable and it is obvious that we were not just a boat passenger but that they wanted our vacation to be the best it could be. This was such a great experience that I honestly feel that it played a part in our daughter feeling confident in jumping into the Blue Hole in Jamaica the following all based on how Marcel was able to put her at ease. She felt safe and in good hands and this feeling carried over to our next day's adventure.
We had Cobalt Blue booked for our 2020 cruise that I cancelled just prior to the pandemic that was promptly refunded so booking them once again for our 2023 cruise was an easy decision.
On a side note-the boat had music and at one point the song lyrics got a little dicey for our daughter and as I lounged out all relaxed on our way back to the pier at the front of the boat I debated asking for a station change and before I even had a chance to speak up they switched it as if reading my mind. A small detail but just one small example of our whole day with Cobalt Blue.
From start to finish our entire experience with all staff was exceptional in every way.

Absolutely Awesome! Travis and Graeme are safe, attentive, knowledgeable and fun. With such a large group, they did a headcount every time we got back in the boat. All the kids held and/or kissed stingrays at Stingray City. They held the world’s slowest competition amongst the starfish at starfish point. They were able to see all the colorful fish of a big aquarium up close and personal while snorkeling. I would (and will) recommend the Cobalt Tour company to everyone who asked.read moreread less

Best charter to Stingray Bay on the island! This was our second year with Cobalt Charter, because it was so worth a repeat experience! Last year we came as a family and did the three hour tour of Stingray Bay, snorkeling at Rum Point and looking at starfish at Starfish Point. This year was my daughter’s graduation gift to come back and do it again! She will be a Biology major, so our awesome captain, Lars, went into more of the science details of the stingray and starfish biology, and mangrove forest ecosystem. All were truly fascinating and such a one of a kind Caymanian experience. The day was a little rough water, so Graham had notified us beforehand to see if we would like to rebook and let us know if we were uncomfortable, we could request to turn around at any time. However my daughter and I are adventurous and didn’t mind the bumps and waves and it added to the fun. One thing we really appreciated and loved was that At Starfish Point, our Captain noticed tourists from another tour were lifting the starfish out of the water and taking photos with them on their heads, etc. He had already taught us that these animals stay alive by circulating seawater through their bodies much like our blood system, and taking them out of the water causes air bubbles to enter their system and they will eventually die. Lars went over to the other tourists and asked them not to do what they were doing because of this. The previous trip we didn’t see the Mangrove forest, but this time we did and I’m so glad. It was a nice calm and relaxing end of the day and we were amazed at how interesting the mangrove ecosystem was. Absolutely the BEST tour of Stingray bay in the island! This was especially made a realization after seeing the other tours out there with overcrowded boats and the guides not really caring how the tourists treated the sea animals. Would love to come do it all again in a heartbeat!read moreread less

They were great at giving us a history on island and educating us on the plants and animals in the area. They made sure we had a great time. Highly recommend!!

Do not miss this great adventure As soon as we decided to visit Grand Cayman, I reserved our spot for Sting Ray City and snorkeling with Cobalt charters. We had a fantastic time with this company in March, 2020 and again yesterday. Graeme coordinated everything for us and arranged an earlier departure to avoid the larger crowd of visitors expected midday. That worked out perfectly .
Marcel and Lars arrived on time and off we went. Both young men are quite experienced and knowledgeable about the Cayman Islands and the marine life here. The taught us a bit about the sting rays and guided us in feeding, holding and even kissing them. We spent about one hour at Sting Ray City then departed to choice snorkeling spots.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Cobalt Carters and will definitely seek them on our next visit. It is a small group experience not to be missed.
Thank you Graeme, Marcel and Lars for providing an excellent and fun filled excursion on this beautiful island!

Amazing time with my family My family and I had an absolutely incredible experience with Cobalt Custom Charters. In three hours we went snorkling over beautiful reefs, stopped at a shallow beach populated by starfish, paused for a delicious mudslide, and hung out at Stingray City. Graham and Travis were incredible captains - they were genuine, good-natured, and friendly guys who were truly passionate about showing us a good time. It truly felt like a special, and custom tour, and we were all so impressed by the dedication they put into their work.The captains were very knowledgeable about the island, the animals, and the ecosystem and I learned a lot about Cayman. They frequently took candid photos of our group on a couple different cameras (including an underwater one) - they delivered the photos a few days after, and they were such an awesome takeaway from the trip. We all had such a blast - I HIGHLY recommend Cobalt Custom Charters.
Thanks guys - hope to see you soon!

Fantastic morning My family of 4 just returned from an outstanding morning with Cobalt Custom Charters. We spent last Friday am with Lars and Marcel who were excellent hosts and crew. Going to stingray city and snorkeling on a private boat is a much better way to interact with the stingrays and they put you on some excellent secluded snorkeling locations. Both provided useful information about the local area, flora, and fauna. Drinks are provided although we brought a few extra snacks ourselves. Lars took many wonderful photos that were sent via email a day or two later. The pickup and transfer from the hotel was seamless. I would definitely recommend this excursion and will try to go again next time in Cayman.read moreread less

One of the most MAGICAL days of our lives We booked this excursion with Cobalt Custom Charters after reading the reviews with hopes there was a kernel of truth included. The reviews were accurate. The pre-excursion interaction was quick and easy. Graeme went so far as to reach out to repeat clients to see if they could adjust their timing to allow us to meet our cruise ship window. Graeme picked us up & drove us to the boat and he was just as nice in person. The boat was very clean and well stocked. The crew consisted of Marcel & Noah. They could not have been any nicer, more professional, any friendlier, or more accommodating. The first stop was Stingray City after a briefing from Marcel on what to expect and what to do and not to do we jumped in the water and quickly were surrounded by stingrays. Noah instructed us on how to feed them and Marcel patiently helped us hold, kiss, dance, and feed multiple rays including his favorite Tattoo. The entire experience so far exceeded our expectations that we could only term it as “magical”! Our second stop was Rum Point where Marcel led us to his favorite spot where there was hundreds of fish, many species of parrot fish which were identified by Marcel, trumpet fish, a stingray. We were very excited to see a massive school of princess parrot fish that moved as one and went from coral to coral feeding. We followed this group for quite a while completely entranced. The variety of fish and coral we encountered was nothing short of spectacular. All too soon our day came to an end. We are experienced travelers and snorkelers and we agreed this is one of the best days we have had, as well as, one of the best excursion experiences of our life. Our thanks to the entire crew for providing us such a treasured memory. We will be seeing y’all again!!read moreread less

Simply Amazing Experience Colbalt Charters is First Class. I did tons of research for excursions before we left and so happy I chose them. We did a 4 hour charter and was just Amazing. We had Marcel and Noah and these guys are truly some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Not only was it super fun but they are extremely knowledgeable and learned all about the Stingrays, the reefs , marine life, mangroves, and the Island in general. This was our first time coming to the Caymans but won't be the last because of the kind people like them. We will definitely be booking with this Top Notch Company again next time. Underwater Camara is a must!!. The colors of the water are fantastic!!! You will be disappointed if you don't bring one.

Must Do In Cayman! I can't say enough about Cobalt Charters. We were traveling with two families with a total of eight people all teenage daughters. We booked the bio tour one evening and the four hour stingray city tour a couple of days later. Bio tour - one of the coolest things we have ever seen and Marcel was our captain. Great guy who took care of everything. We highly recommend this trip. Stingray city - awesome morning with John and Andrew leading this excursion. Both guys were very personable and knowledgeable, and just like Marcel took care of anything we could think of. You can tell customer service is a priority with this company and it shows with everyone you meet. Starting with Graeme. He took care of all the bookings and was very responsive answering all my questions before and during our time at Cayman. I honestly can't imagine any other charter being better than our experience, and I recommend them to anyone wanting to enhance their Cayman vacation. Marcel, John, and Andrew, thanks for two fun trips and taking care of our daughters! They had a blast.read moreread less

Go with Cobalt! This was an incredible experience! Graeme and Travis took us on a four hour adventure. A private charter made Stingray City extra special! We were able to have extra one-on-one time with the stingrays while educated by Travis. We went to snorkel at two locations, stopped by Rum Point for a drink and then ended the tour at Starfish Point. The cost of a charter boat is well worth your money for the personalized experience! These two men have a fabulous business. They quickly responded to all questions prior to the trip and made the experience seamless! I highly recommend and will be back again!read moreread less

Outstanding experience Our hotel concierge sent us several recommendations for private charter companies. I read reviews for each and was surprised there wasn't a single negative review for Cobalt. How can one company make every single guest happy? Well, I'm here to write another positive review. We spent the day with Lars and Marcel who exceeded our expectations. They were patient with our daughters who were a bit hesitant to swim with the stingrays and initially struggled with the snorkel gear. They blew us away with their knowledge of the marine life and ecosystem. Their love and passion for what they do is evident and it truly made our time with them the best day of our vacation. Thank you for an incredible experience our family will never forget.read moreread less

Bio Bay is a must see with Cobalt, Graeme, and Kyle! You must try the bio bay tour with Cobalt!! It was absolutely the most amazing thing we've ever seen!! It's like you're floating in fairy land! It's unreal!! You have to see it for yourself. It's worth it!! Graeme, the owner, recommended that we go the day after the full moon (instead of the day we wanted to go) and what a wonderful recommendation that was!! Because of that timing we got to also see glow shrimp too!! Which is a rare sight!! Our tour guide Kyle was absolutely fantastic!! Sooo incredibly knowledgeable, fun, patient, and such a gentleman the entire time!! 10 out of 10 recommend Cobalt, Graeme, and Kyle!! They will not disappoint you!!! From the time of booking all the way to the end of the tour, perfect the whole way through and they really show they love what they do and care about you as their customer!! 😊read moreread less

Explore Grand Cayman wildlife by sea We took a couples voyage out on a private charter on a nice and comfortable Cobalt bowrider. Our captain Jonny and first mate Luka made for an enjoyable experience sharing their knowledge of the history of the places visited and how to safely interact with the wildlife. We visited Stingray city and were able to hold, feed and kiss a very cooperating stingray (whom was pregnant). The rays were not aggressive and provided a great memory. We then visited a reef area to snorkel and see coral and native fish. They provided the gear and gave instructions to protect the wildlife. Our last stop was at Starfish point and got to see the up close and learn how they move, feed and see (kind of). We did BYOB and got to play our music between stops. Captain was very accommodating and got to see the sunset on the way back to the dock. This is a must do experience when visiting Grand Cayman. Communication with the reservation team was top notch.read moreread less

Floating Birthday and Rays My husband booked a 1/2 day tour with Cobalt for my 60th. We had 4, my 2 adult sons and hubs and I. I cannot express how much fun this day was. Marcel and Lars were perfect hosts and so incredibly knowledgeable about the stingrays, reefs and other locations we visited. Every ray had a name and a story. It was a bit rough so after SRC and snorkeling at the reef, we opted for calmer waters. We visited Rum Point and were so lucky the Pirates Grill Wing boat was there and we got the last dozen wings, delish! We then cruised through the calm mangrove forest and again, Marcel is a wealth of knowledge and we learned so much. Somehow my husband missed the photos that Lars sent the next day and we just opened. How awesome to have a personal photographer with you all day too! Can’t recommend enough. We usually opt for a private tour and this is why! Thank you for making our day so memorable!read moreread less

The highlights our of trip to the Cayman Islands We used Cobalt Custom Charters to do the Stingrays & snorkeling boat tour and also later in the week, the Bioluminescence boat trip. I would highly recommend them. From beginning to end, the customer service from Graeme was excellent. Our tour guides, Lars and Travis on the Day tour and Marcel on the night tour were fantastic. It was definitely worth paying a little more to just be our family of 4 and have the option to do what we wanted (2 snorkeling spots instead of Starfish point) rather than be on a boat with lots of people. The 2 boat tours were definitely the highlights of our trip. Thank you.read moreread less

Amazing family boat trip of a lifetime with Marcel and Noah We booked a boat tour for our first evening in CI with Cobalt. Family with 3 daughters ages 12, 17 with Down Syndrome, and 19-- and 3 80+year old grandparents. I had several very thorough emails from Graeme before our arrival-- and updates on the conditions as we got closer. He explained the best day to see the Bioluminsence Bay related to the full moon-- so we booked it. We met our captain Marcel and his crew Noah at Camana Bay at 5pm for our four hour trip which included stops at Stingray City, the reef for some snorkeling, Starfish Beach, and Bio Bay. Marcel was so knowledgeable -- taught us so much about the rays and the star fish and the area. It was a joy. They took really good care of us. They told us as we boarded that Bio Bay was not glowing as brightly recently-- and offered to adjust our trip last minute with refund of an appropriate portion of the price, but we decided to see whatever we could. The trip was the highlight of everyone's week. Noah took about 300 photos of our family on the trip which they sent to us the next day-- photos of us feeding the rays, holding the rays, and even kissing the rays. It was educational, fun, and an adventure. We would do it again with Cobalt in a heartbeat. Even our grandmother who was pretty terrified of the open ocean and the boat loved it and felt safe with Marcel and Noah who kept things moving on our trip. We felt in great hands. When we needed another recommendation for diving later, they were quick to respond with multiple excellent suggestions.read moreread less

10/10–Cannot Recommend Enough! This was our second charter experience with Cobalt Custom Charters, and I truly cannot imagine booking with anyone else. Graeme and team are exceptional at combining fun, education, and professionalism. Booking a boat trip with kids can feel like a roll of the dice, but Kyle and Jon kept all the children engaged and in the spotlight. While our vacation has been amazing overall, CCC gave us the best part of our trip and memories to last a lifetime.
If you’re looking to book a charter experience, look no further than these guys!

AMAZING I can not say enough positive things about this entire trip. From the moment it was booked the communication from Graeme was on point! No question left unanswered. Travis was such a polite, knowledgeable and courteous driver. Lars and Marcel were the absolute best guides ever! Our family of 4 adults did Stingray City, Snorkeling and Starfish Cove. We were able to feed, hold and pet the stingrays. We had Pancake (the stingray) all to ourselves so we got to hold and feed her multiple times. Went to a more secluded snorkeling area that the larger groups could not get too, which provided us with amazing coral and fish. At Starfish Cove we sat and held the starfish with barley anyone else around. Lars and Marcel are super friendly, knowledgeable and so down to earth. They made our time with them fly by. Spend the extra money you will NEVER regret it!! My adult boys (20 and 22) said this was the best ship excursion we have ever done!! Their recommendation for lunch at Rackam's did not disappoint either. Thank you Cobalt Custom Charters for helping to create such lasting memories for us!! If we are ever back in Grand Cayman we will 100% be back on the boat with you!read moreread less

Absolutely Awesome Half Day Charter: Stingrays, Starfish, Snorkeling! Our family of six booked a three-hour Cobalt Custom Charter to Stingray City and Starfish Point as well as snorkeling in the reef. It was outstanding! Graeme consistently communicated with us once the booking was made, gave us updates on the weather, and was extremely helpful with transportation. Since we arrived on a cruise ship, we booked Cobalt for the transport to the boat. Travis was waiting for us and extremely friendly, providing insight on Grand Caymen and Georgetown. Upon our arrival to the boat, we met Kyle and Noah. They were the perfect blend of sea captains, historians, naturalists, and cool people with whom to spend a half day. We instantly connected with them and appreciated how they made us feel comfortable among the stingrays and other sea life. They even enjoyed our daughters' mix of music! Our only wish was that we had booked four hours instead of three. This was the highlight of our trip! We highly recommend this charter.read moreread less

During our time at Stingray City, Marcel taught us about the rays, helped us to hold a few and made us feel at ease. Our snorkeling visit was really great and we felt safe the entire time.Finally, our time at Starfish point was relaxing, educational and the perfect way to cap off a great few hours.
If you are looking for an incredible chance to really get up close and personal with rays, a reef and starfish, Cobalt is your best bet. Marcel and Noah made this one of the highlights of our vacation.

Paradise in Cayman Best excursion!! From the moment we started booking, this excursion was one of the best! We would HIGHLY recommend Cobalt Cruises to anyone visiting Cayman. They were willing to cater our trip to exactly what we wanted to do. Marcel and Hans were great tour guides. They made sure everyone was comfortable at each one of our stops. They are so knowledgeable about sea life and the ocean. We had an AMAZING day!!read moreread less

Don’t miss this experience in Grand Cayman! This was an AMAZING experience! Travis picked us up from our hotel and was very personable! We had a FANTASTIC experience on the boat with Lars and Noah. We went to Stingray City, snorkeling at Rum Point, and to Starfish Point. Lars and Noah did everything to make this a wonderful experience for our entire family. It was also great to have this experience with a private tour. We were able to touch and feed the stingrays and hold the starfish. They also provided historical information about the island. Would definitely recommend!read moreread less

Fantastic experience! Don't think twice, Cobalt is the right choice. My husband and I went to Grand Cayman for the first time, and since it was a short trip, we decided to take a private tour and do all key attractions at once. Marcel and Johnny were incredibly knowledgeable and so much fun. They truly love what they do - seeing Marcel play with the stingrays made us so comfortable around them. Johnny took some great pictures and showed us the race of the starfish and how they can flip, so cool.
The boat was great, and Marcel and Johnny made everything look so easy and fun we didn't even mind the bad weather. We can't wait to come back and bring our children to see the stingrays and do the bio bay with these guys. Highly recommend them!

Weather can’t hold this group down Excellent! 10 out of 10! Customer service remarkable. Kyle and Noah were friendly, fun, personable, and knowledgeable. The weather tried to spoil our outing but with this wonderful team the weather did not succeed. The winds were tough and created difficult boating and swimming conditions. We opted to tough out the winds and we are so glad we did. We were unable to safely swim with the Stingrays but were able to enjoy starfish point and Kaibo for lunch. It was a great day and truly Kyle and Noah made it such. Don’t consider any other group. This is the group you want to go with time and time again! Thanks for a fantastic day!read moreread less

VERY COOL TRIP! We had a phenomenal trip to Stingray City, and Starfish Point! It was the cutest thing seeing how tame the stingrays are, and our guide even knew one by name! They were friends! Excellent guides, and the icing on the cake were the photos they sent to us the next day! It was so nice and thoughtful of them to take the pics, and send them in a professional manner. They were on time, 100% polite and accommodating, and very clean boat!!! They even put our shoes in a crate to keep the boat very clean. 100% recommendations to this company!

Private boat charter with family and kids Highly recommend Cobalt Charters. Excellent experience on a 3hr private charter to Stingray City, Rum Point Snorkeling, and Starfish Point. Our group consisted of two children (2&5yo), two 30yo's, and four 60yo's. Johnny & Kyle made sure everyone was comfortable, safe, and having fun. They were extremely knowledgeable of the island and wildlife. Very informative and memorable experience we won't forget. They took extra care to make sure our 5yo was comfortable enough to hold and feed the stingrays. For what it's worth, they also gave us a refund during COVID when we had to cancel our trip and Graeme is very responsive to email with. Would definitely book with them again.read moreread less

Amazing Evening on the Boat I want to thank you so much for this whole experience. It was nice to be able to customize the outing to what we wanted to do. Noah and Kyle were amazing captains who created an exceptional experience for us. From the minute Kyle picked us up at the hotel to the very end of the night. All of it was fantastic! We all enjoyed learning about Cayman Islands, the stingrays, the starfish, bio-Luminescent Bay and other facts they shared with us. They also calmed my nerves before holding the stingrays which I was thankful for. (E was still nervous but gave us a good laugh as it shows in the pics) Thank you also for all of the pictures you took. It was nice not to have to worry about that during the time on the boat. Kyle and Noah worked well together to make it a fun, relaxing and memorable day for our family. We will share about Cobalt with friends who visit and we will be back for sure!read moreread less

Fantastic, fun adventure! My 20-something children and I had a great time on our private charter with Cobalt. It was recommended to us by our friends who are locals. We went out for the 4 hour afternoon tour and it was a beautiful way to end the day with the sunset, luminescent cove, and a star lit ride back to the dock. Jon and Noah were excellent tour guides. Jon gave us so much information about the Cayman waters, stingrays, starfish, and luminescent origins. When I could not go snorkeling with the kids, Jon was happy to jump right in and take them around the reef. My daughter wanted to get back out there to stingray city the next day! Although the kids are still waiting for their playlist ranking (joking!) we all agreed the Cobalt tour was an excellent addition to our trip.read moreread less

Perfect Day Our cruise ship arrived at 7 and we took a water shuttle to the dock. We boarded a taxi which cost $9 per person from Spots Beach to the Yacht Club. Marcell and Graeme met us at the Anchor store, then we boarded the boat and headed out to Stingray City. Marcell and Graeme educated us about the stingray as we held, kissed and fed the stingray. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience. We then snorkeled off of Rum Point over the beautiful reef. Lastly, we headed over to visit Starfish Point where we saw young and older Starfish. From booking to the actual excursion, it was a seamless process. Graeme and Marcell are top notch guides and very passionate about the Island and all the sea life. Highly recommend using Cobalt custom charters!read moreread less

Catamaran Tour with the Kids! We loved our 4 hour private boat tour with Cobalt Custom crew! We had three families (6 kids total) and staff was so patient and helpful. At one point, they even joked that us adults could go snorkel and they would babysit on board! We did the stingray city, a snorkel stop and then we talked with the guys and they came up with a great idea for the remainder of our time- they took us into Camana Bay for a gelato stop and a quick boat break for the kids. It was so fun and a beautiful mangrove entrance into the bay. You will not regret booking their services, for sure a highlight of our trip to Cayman Islands!read moreread less

Great times has by all! We opted to take a private charter instead of one of the big group ones the cruise ship offered. The owner was very good at communicating prior to our arrival and the day of too. Marcel and Noah, the crew on the boat, were awesome! They took us to the three spots we wanted to go and each one they explained/shared details of where we were. They also shared information about the island. We were a party of eight with three adults, four teens and an 11 yo who all had a good time! I would definitely recommend this vendor.read moreread less

Amazing Day- Highlight of our trip! We had the best time on our private boat charter with our captains Marcel and Lars! (It was also a breeze booking and communicating with the owner, Graeme, before the trip.)We had a party of 4 with 2 adults and 2 kids, ages 7 and 10. Marcel picked us up in a nice van at our hotel and even made a stop for us at a convenience store on the way so we could pick up a few things. The boat was already stocked with towels, bottled waters and ice and had room for us to throw our drinks and snack in the cooler too. Once on the boat, we had an amazing time at Stingray City, starfish point and Marcel also gave us a guided snorkeling tour of the reef and we saw so many cool fish. It was so much fun!!! We also stopped at Rum Point for some drinks and lunch.
We loved it so much we tried to book another day with them during our stay, but unfortunately they were booked already! They also sent us over 250 pictures that they took of our family- there were some amazing shots of us under the water that we never would have been able to get with our phones.
This was the highlight of our time in Cayman! We will definitely be back and book again with Cobalt!

Amazing private lux experience We spent an afternoon with Cobalt. They took us to an amazing snorkeling location, after that, we took a quick break for drinks at kaibo, then to starfish point where we chilled and waited for stingray city crowds to thin out. We finished the afternoon swimming with and feeding the stingrays. They are very conscious of the wildlife and gave us tips to enjoy everything without harming the environment. The guys, at my request, took the boat nice and slow so my daughter would not get freaked out. I can not express how great the guys were, it was like being on the water with old friends. It did not cost much more than going on a big tour, and the attention to detail and friendly service was worth every penny. They answered all my emails, took all my calls, and made sure we were all set to have a great experience. 5 were in party, did not feel cramped on the boat. This was our second trip to GC and this was the best part of both trips. Cheers guys, and congrats on running a great business.

A duo of "up-and-comers" about to take the Caymans by storm My family and I were scheduled for a snorkel tour at stingray city, rum point and starfish point. We all could not have been more impressed with the natural beauty of the locations. Graeme and Travis masterfully navigated us around some tricky storms and they took us to a charming restaurant for lunch. Graeme and Travis answered any question we could possibly ask them and they were extremely professional yet very personable. The highlight of our trip though was when Graeme and Travis helped me conquer my long fear of stingrays and I got to fully enjoy and interact with these animals. Graeme and Travis are a top-notch duo who will help anyone appreciate the natural wonders that the Caymans have to offerread moreread less

Cobalt Custom Charters kept in excellent communication from the time we booked our excursion to the start of it! Very accommodating! Our guides Marcel and Noah were so knowledgeable, friendly and interactive with our family getting everyone involved, we loved spending the afternoon with them! Stingray City Sandbar was breathtaking! Learning all about these amazing creatures you just simply fell in love with them, especially with Tattoo with her kisses! Snorkeling at Coral Garden near Rum Point was beautiful and while on the boat ride, Marcel and Noah pointed out Sea Turtles and even a Nurse Shark so we could view! Our final stop was Starfish Point where we learned and held these slow crawlers which are amazing in their own right! Even found a few jellyfish!We definitely will be returning customers next time we're back in Grand Cayman! Thank you for making one of the best days of our lives!!

Amazing Cayman Boat Trip We had an amazing time on an afternoon boat trip (3-8 pm) with Cobalt. Kyle and Jon were two of the best boat captains we’ve had on a private charter experience. Kyle tracked down a stingray and gave our family an incredible stingray interaction. Jon gathered several starfish for us at Starfish Point and provided interesting facts on starfish life. The bioluminescence bay was one of the most unique and incredible experiences of our lives. Cobalt also took great pictures for our family as part of the price - no upcharge! Highly recommended and well worth the price! Would definitely use Cobalt again!read moreread less

Best part of our trip to Grand Cayman I had neglected to book any activities before we came to Grand Cayman and was disappointed to find almost everything sold out. I found Cobalt Custom Charters by chance....it was the best meant to be! From the moment we stepped on the boat Travis and Graeme made us feel like family...they are so personable and we enjoyed spending our 5 hour charter with them. They took us to Starfish Point and made sure my kids got to see and hold starfish. We then went to Stingray City in the late afternoon and we were the only people out there as all the other operators were gone for the day. We spent about an hour swimming with 30-40 stingrays and got to feed them. It was fantastic!!! But the day wasn't done yet...we headed over to Kaibo Yacht Club for a quick dinner (yum!) while we waited for the sun to set. When the sun started going down we headed for the Bioluminescent Bay. The guys provided us with snorkel equipment and flotation devices to swim in the bay (it is only about 5 feet deep) with the billions of dinoflagellates lighting up as we disturbed them. It was one of the coolest things we ever did. I had a list of things I wanted to do on this trip and Cobalt Custom Charters helped me do most of them....bucket list checked off! We enjoyed this charter so much that we booked them later in the week for some reef fishing, which was also fantastic! They were so good with our family and especially my 6 year old son. My boys are still talking about this trip. I recommend this company 100% and the next time we come back to Grand Cayman we will be back on this boat!read moreread less

Highly Recommend Cobalt for excursions to Stingray City, Starfish point and Snorkeling We visited Grand Cayman in June 2024. We chose Cobalt for a trip to see the Stingrays, the Starfish, and snorkeling.
Highly recommend Cobalt. Everything was above and beyond. Great tour guides in Jon and Andrew.
And excellent communication from pick up to drop off.
They made sure each of us had unique time with the Stingrays and starfish, and went out of their way to enhance our experience. We felt so lucky that we chose these guys!!
This is the company to use without hesitations. Beautiful island and accommodations but our excursion to Stingray City, Starfish Pojnt and snorkeling, was the best part of our trip.
Thank you.

Cobalt Charters = 5 stars Lars and Marcel took great care of us out on the water. Just bring your swimsuit and they handle the rest. If you love snorkeling and learning about the waters surrounding Grand Cayman, then Cobalt Charters is for you! The highlight of our afternoon was a sunset feed of stingrays (they don’t sting lol) far offshore on a natural sandbar created by a gap in the reef. Highly recommend Cobalt Charters!read moreread less
