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!

Family Core Memory What an afternoon! We had the most amazing time with Kyle and Andrew. They did such a phenomenal job! They were professional, personable and fun. We appreciated their knowledge of the area, the water conditions and their emphasis on our safety. They also were wonderful in explaining how to interact with the stingrays and starfish. This is a core memory for our family and one we won’t forget!
Thank you for making this one of the best highlights of our time here!

Exceptional Customer Service We were in Grand Cayman during a week that the island was experiencing unusually strong winds and rough water and unfortunately we had to cancel our reservation with Cobalt Custom Charters as the weather did not improve enough for us to go. However, I still felt I should write a review to highlight the exceptional customer service and communication we received from the company. They kept us informed every day of the weather and tried each day to reschedule our trip. They were so apologetic about having to cancel and they issued a full refund. We will definitely book with them next time we're in Grand Cayman!read moreread less

Do not miss this excursion! The trip was amazing. Our captains of the boat where Andrew and Steve . They were so knowledgable and sincere. Both were passionate about their island and went into great details about the sea life and nature at each of our stops. They were very patient with needs of the members of our group. They created an adventure just for us. We could not have be happier with this trip.read moreread less

Great Company with fantastic service! Great personal charter with Andrew and Lars. Weather forced our originally scheduled charter to bail and honestly, we were lucky that it ultimately led us to Cobalt. We did a 3 hour late afternoon charter and hit Stingray City and Starfish point with some snorkeling in between. Andrew and Lars were informative and engaging and were the perfect hosts for a great day. Kids loved the trip to Stingray City. Highlight of the trip! Would use them again in a heartbeat for any of our boat related needs.read moreread less

Amazing experience! From the great (and fast) communication with Graeme to the actual adventure an all around amazing time! Lars & Noah were welcoming & informative. It is clear they are passionate about what they do, and wanted us to have a wonderful, memory filled adventure. With some weary kids & adults, they jumped right in to Stingray City, making sure we were completely comfortable with these pups of the sea! Handling the wildlife with respect and care, and ensuring all had an amazing time- these are lifelong memories!read moreread less

Fun evening on the water Marcel & Noah were great tour guides. Our family of 6 had a great time out in the water in the evening. Left Camana Bay at 5pm for Stingray City, then off to an awesome snorkeling site, where we seen many, many colorful tropical fish, a nurse shark, lobster, and a large puffer fish. Headed over to starfish point that had a bunch of star fish. Finished the evening in bioluminescent bay. Highly recommend.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!

They made us feel very at ease in the water with the sting rays, and were great about getting rays for us to hold and interact with. Very accommodating as to where to go on the private tour.

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

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!

Snorkeling/Stingray City/Starfish Point Catamaran Trip Look no further, Cobalt Custom Charters is a great company to book your Cayman adventures with. We had a group of family members ranging from 6-71 years of age and everything in between and we all had a blast! Graeme and Travis were great tour guides and always made sure we were happy and having a blast. They were even able to pivot and set us up for some snorkeling to fill time when we realized that Stingray City was a bit more crowded than we were hoping for. Their catamaran is in great shape and very well appointed. The guys are super friendly and knowledgeable. You will not be disappointed!read moreread less

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

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.

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!!!

Stingrays, Starfish and snorkeling it was just amazing! My family went out with Travis and Graeme on 8/6/18 in the afternoon. We visited Stingray city were they did an amazing job telling us about the stingrays and helping us interact. The group included my wife and 11 year old son and we enjoyed not being in a large group. We each kissed a stingray for 7 years of good luck. Travis does an amazing job helping you feel comfortable in the water with the rays and showing you how to feed them and hold them like floating carpets in the water. We snorkeled the reef and visited Starfish Pointe. Both Travis and Graeme are easy to talk to and gave us lots of memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks guys for being the highlight of this Texas family trip to Cayman. We talk about it all the time.read moreread less

A Perfect Grand Cayman Day These Cobalt Custom Charters guys really know how to deliver on their promises. Holding stingrays at Stingray City, the starfish at Starfish Point, reef snorkeling, relaxing and enjoying a couple cold ones while cruising in the laid back luxury and comfort of their amazing boat, the adrenalin rush as Travis leaned on the throttle. (Merisash is one fast, smooth boat.) The late afternoon cruise was timed just right to see a spectacular sunset and then, within minutes, the rise of the full moon. A perfect Grand Cayman day. If you're visiting Grand Cayman I recommend you book your boat adventure with Cobalt Customer Charters, simply the best. They treated us like family. Professional personalized service and attention to detail, lots of laughs, and unwavering respect for nature. Memories for a lifetime and pictures to prove it. We’ll be back!read moreread less

Our favorite experience on our trip! These guys are absolutely the best! We booked them based off reviews and we’re so glad we did. From the get-go, there was great communication with the owners, helping coordinate all the details and answer any questions. The two guys that chartered our trip (Andries + Luke) were awesome; laid back, knowledgeable, and just made sure we had a great all-around time. Sure, you could pay less and go with another company...but I promise you won’t get the same experience you get with these guys. They cater to the type of experience you want, you never feel rushed, and they know all the tricks of the trade (we got an experience at stingray city and snorkeling where we were one of only a couple boats which is unheard of!) If you’re going to invest in an experience while in Grand Cayman, I highly recommend checking these guys out. We will definitely do another trip with them in the future :)read moreread less

We have been on several charters all were good but nothing like C3 (Cobalt Custom Charters) . We felt safe while having fun at Stingray City, Snorkeling, Star Fish Point, and even at night at the Bio Bay which offered an experience we will never forget. Graeme and Travis are knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and go above and beyond to ensure a memorable adventure. We cannot wait to book with them again!

Amazing fun for the whole family! Our family had an absolutely fantastic time with Cobalt Custom Charters! Kyle and Noah were outstanding, making our adventure unforgettable. We have four kids aged 10, 8, 4, and 1, and they all had a blast, thanks to their exceptional care and attention.Our trip included visits to Stingray City, Starfish Point, and a snorkeling spot. At each location, Kyle and Noah were in the water with us, helping with the kids and ensuring everyone was safe, having fun, and comfortable. Their focus on safety and comfort was evident throughout the entire experience, which we greatly appreciated as parents.
Stingray City was an incredible experience. Kyle and Noah guided us through interacting with the stingrays, making sure our kids felt safe and excited. At Starfish Point, they helped our children explore and discover the starfish, making it a fun and educational stop. Their expertise, friendly demeanor, and enthusiasm made the trip seamless and enjoyable. It was clear that they love what they do, and their passion made our experience even more special.
Cobalt Custom Charters provided a 5-star experience that exceeded our expectations. There’s no better way to experience the sights of Grand Cayman than with Kyle and Noah. We highly recommend them and can’t wait for our next adventure with them!

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

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

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 ON THE ISLAND! 10/10 Experience Can't say enough about how incredible our experience was with Cobalt Custom Charters. From our initial booking, payment, day of and all the communication in between, everything was smeamless from start to finish. Our day out on the boat was extremely memorable, I highly recommend booking with Cobalt, best on the island for sure! Our boat captains for the day, Kyle and Marcel, were so knowledgeable about the island itself, handling the stingrays, starfish and capturing some great photos of our day. We are thankful we booked with them and will definitely get back out next time we are on the island!read moreread less

Perfect Day on the Water – Highly Recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing private boat tour with Cobalt in the Cayman Islands. From start to finish, the experience was seamless – Graeme was a pleasure to work with, incredibly communicative, and had everything perfectly set up for us.Our crew, Noah and Kyle, were both friendly and knowledgeable, creating the perfect island vibe. They took us to the most beautiful spots on a crystal-clear day, and we got to experience the sting rays up close and enjoy some of the best snorkeling we’ve ever done – it was an absolute dream. The whole day felt like a true escape.
They were especially wonderful with our 5-year-old son, even letting him take the wheel of the “pretty girl” for a bit in the open water – a moment we will never forget!
Our only regret was not booking an extra hour or two. If you’re in the Caymans and want a first-class boat tour, don’t hesitate – Cobalt Custom Charters is the way to go!

Great Grand Cayman excursion! You get a privately planned trip with owners that know the area. And being from Canada they were super friendly! After we left the boat we went to wait for the taxi that Graeme called for us. He noticed that were were still waiting for longer than the taxi company told him. He came up and called for us again. Now that's service!!!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

Awesome times! The best experience ever. The boat is fantastic and well maintained. Graeme and Travis were a amazing and took us places so that we could avoid the crowds. They are experts with Stingrays and are able to get them to come to the boat. You will have an amazing time when you charter this boat. I was told it's the best boat and crew on the island by our hotel concierge. Have fun on your tour!read moreread less

AMAZING experience ~ Stingray City, Snorkeling, Wake-boarding, Fishing & Food This was the perfect day for us out in the water... Graeme & Travis made sure to fit in all of the activities our adventurous family loves! They took us first to Stingray City. We learned how to interact with & hold the stingrays. The boys had a blast!! And even though I’d been very reluctant at first, I even held one. It was truly unforgettable!Then, we stopped to snorkel around the reef. Beautiful!
After this our 14-year-old wake-boarded followed by some fishing for our 11-year-old requested. : )
Graeme & Travis were wonderful tour guides ~ they took us to grab a bite to eat at Kaibo before returning. This beachside restaurant/bar was the perfect way to end the trip with awesome food & drinks!
Oh & throughout the day Graeme was even snapping pictures of our family to send us ~ a true added bonus to capture these priceless moments.
We highly recommend contacting Cobalt Custom Charters if you’re ever in Grand Cayman! We can’t wait to return ... Cheers until next time!
Thanks again guys!

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

Magical moments framed in Cobalt We did two trips with Cobalt - one to bio bay and one to sting ray city. Both were well organised in advance by the team; a few easy to access emails and our trip was in the diary. Then on the days we were collected from our hotel in a clean and tidy taxi style car which whisked us to the dock. The boat was a Boston whaler beauty. Our experience was very special on both trips with different captains. Bio bay is literally magical. The sting rays at sting ray city a chance to touch and encounter nature in ways which we simply don’t enjoy back home. Tremendous memories.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

4 Hour cruise Stingrays, snorkling, bio bay Had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend going late in the day when the crowds have cleared out. The guys were great and we went at our pace. They were informative and knew exactly where to go to get the BEST snorkel experience. They also took us to a great restaurant that was not at Rum point so it was significantly better!read moreread less

Grand Cayman MUST DO! 5 stars isn’t enough! Not one complaint. Crew were amazing and knowledgeable even with a 2 and 5 year old on board. So much more than just a 3 hour charter. They cater to what you want to do and when you want to do it. A lot of times you are on island time and with these guys they are on your time. If you are in grand cayman this is an absolute must do!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

An incredible time with Cobalt Custom Charters Simply amazing. That’s the only way to describe our time with Cobalt Custom Charters! Literally, every aspect of the experience was outstanding. Marcel and Noah were SUPER friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They were there to assist us at every step of the journey. 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.

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

Best day ever! Truly an incredible experience - Our hosts, Noah & Kyle were so much fun to spend the day with - they asked what we wanted to do and delivered the perfect experience for our family! We started at Stingray City, traveled to Rum Point for an amazing snorkeling experience and finished off the day at Starfish Point. The private charter was key in giving us the opportunity to do exactly what we were interested in, and provided such a wonderful overall experience for our family. We truly had the best day ever. Thank you Kyle and Noah, and thank you to Graeme for setting everything up for us.read moreread less

Luxurious catamaran in the Caymans My husband and I had a wonderful trip with Cobalt Custom Charters on their very spacious catamaran. The boat was perfect for a relaxing day on the water. The crew was very accommodating and even provided towels and refreshments, squid to feed the stingrays and a whole digital photo album documenting our trip on the boat. The catamaran was so comfortable with two lavatories on board and a lovely netted lounge area at the front of the boat where you can lay over the water. We will absolutely be sailing with Cobalt on our next trip to the Caymans!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

Great time on the water in the Caymans We went with this company 2 years ago and had a blast with Marcel. We brought our whole family back this year with 3 kids and 6 adults and were lucky enough to get Marcel again. He makes the time at Stingray City incredible. Noah took awesome pictures and they were both great with the kids who were 7, 5 and 3. It's a much more one on one than the bigger boats. We took the 8am on a no cruise ship in town day and we were the second boat at Stingray city so nice and empty. The starfish beach is incredible and the snorkeling was really clear and saw a lot of fish and coral without having to venture too far. Would highly recommend to anyone!read moreread less

Fantastic! From start to finish, our charter was fantastic! Our party of five - ages 12 to 71 - all agreed this was the highlight of our cruise! The staff was outstanding - patient, knowledgeable and personable, and went above and beyond to make this a special day. Before booking, I hesitated about the cost and nearly just booked an excursion with our cruise line. As I watched folks on larger boats and looked at the smiles on my family’s faces, I was so glad I trusted my instincts and put us in Cobalt’s hands - it was worth every penny. And while I took some photos, the photos they shot for us were beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend Cobalt Custom Charters.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

Best experience you can have with this team in the Caymans, they are so impressive! We have now been out with Cobalt Custom Charters 5 times over the years and they are amazing, the staff is incredible and they are first rate in the treatment of our family. They will customize your trip for the group needs which is great as my family always wants to do something different. Their boats are first rate and it is so nice being away from the big charter boats and all the people. It is a very personalized tour. I could not recommend them more highly. As they have grown over the past couple years they have not lost that personal touch. We love the team and are always excited to go back and see them.read moreread less
