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

Fantastic outing We had a fantastic, midday trip with Graeme and Travis, snorkeling and visiting Starfish Point. They were knowledgeable, professional, and patient with our family. They have taken the time to learn a great deal about their surroundings, and generously shared tons of information to make our day more interesting! They are lovely company and were flexible with planning around our needs; and their boat is immaculate. We highly recommend them for an outstanding experience!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

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!

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

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

Amazing customized experience for our whole family! Our experience with Cobalt Custom Charters in the Grand Cayman Islands was absolutely exceptional from start to finish! Booking the tour was incredibly easy, and the communication with the company was seamless. They were so responsive and made sure every detail of our trip was arranged exactly to our liking.The two captains, John and Kyle, were amazing throughout the entire journey. They were not only knowledgeable about the islands and the surrounding waters, but also so friendly, patient, and accommodating, especially with our young children. They made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged, ensuring our family had an unforgettable time.
What really stood out was how personalized the tour was. We got to choose exactly what we wanted to do, and the entire experience was tailored to our needs and interests, thanks to John and Kyle. They were truly both so amazing!
This tour was the highlight of our trip to the Cayman Islands. We can’t recommend this company enough—everything from the booking process to the actual tour exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be using them again when we return to the Cayman Islands!

Great Grand Cayman excursion! You get a privately planned trip with owners that know the area. And being from Canada they were super friendly!

What an exceptional charter! Booking was easy, communication was fantastic, and the charter itself was absolutely perfect. Steve (our captain) picked us up on time and took us to the dock where we met our first mate Ferrick. I couldn't have picked a better pair of people to take us on our 4 hour charter if I tried. We first stopped at Stingray City (of course), then a little snorkeling at the reef, then off to see the starfish (so very cool), and finally a trip through the mangroves. At every single stop, Ferrick was a walking encyclopedia of entertaining information that made each experience even better. Both he and Steve added so much more to the charter just by being themselves. I've booked many charters in many locations, but this one was my favorite. I highly recommend Cobalt.read moreread less

Outstanding Charter Service My family and I had an outstanding time on the water with Cobalt Charters. We booked a half day for our family of six (2 parents, 1 grandparent, and 3 children). It was without a doubt the best experience we had on the island. I researched a number of charter services on the island and am very glad we went with Cobalt. They were the most responsive of all the charter services to my email inquiries before booking, and they worked with us to customize the trip so that it had something for everyone in the family. From beginning to end, Graeme and Travis were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them and look forward to using them again on our next trip to Grand Cayman.read moreread less

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

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

Stingray City excursion Capt Marcel and Andrew took us on an amazing trip to Stingray City to swim and interact with the giant sting rays. Then we snorkeled an amazing, living coral reef with tons of fish and even an eel. We then made a trip to Starfish Point where we were able to hold lots of starfish and swim with tarpon. These guys are super knowledgeable and made our trip with them one of the best excursions we have ever experienced.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

Amazing day with professionals who tailored our experience to exactly what we wanted Cobalt is a well run operation from start to finish. Excellent communication throughout the booking and trip prep process, followed up with a great day. John and Kyle took us out and I cannot say enough good things. It was like going out on the boat with old friends who were full of knowledge about the island, marine life, and our options for the day. We had some wind and rougher seas than normal and they made us aware of the best options for our stops while still leaving the decisions to us. Their advice was spot on. Their briefings at each stop had us prepared for the best experience with safety at the forefront. The boat was beyond comfortable. I have some knee issues and boarding the boat was a concern but they made sure I was okay and assisted as needed. The stingray interaction lived up to the hype! We also had a snorkeling stop with plenty to see and starfish point did not disappoint. I was surprised by the amount of things we learned from our captains. They don’t just drop you off to look, they teach along the way. Even with the waves and current, at our snorkels stop they put us in exactly the right spot so we had a safety rope out and were really able to enjoy the marine life without concern. After dealing with some rougher than normal seas we decided to cruise through the mangroves. Again John and Kyle really went above and beyond giving us information about the ecosystem. We hadn’t considered the mangroves as part of our tour but I am so glad we had that experience.read moreread less

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

A truly awesome experience We had an absolutely amazing trip with Cobalt.A very clean,tidy,stylish and comfortable fast boat out to the Stingrays, en route Marcel and Noah gave us a very informative insight into the island and were both very knowledgable about the stingrays and marine life in these coastal waters, we were so happy to learn all that we did.
To swim and feed these friendly marine creatures was an absolute delight made all the better by Marcel and Noah’s relationship and personal in depth knowledge of these gentle stingrays— it was just the best trip ever.
We then went to Starfish Point where we saw lots of these creatures in the warm shallow waters and learnt much about their lives and habits from our guides they provided a fascinating insight into starfish life.
We finished up in Bio Bay to witness the incredible phenomena of the bioluminescence in these waters again we learnt much that we never previously knew and to witness this incredible display was fantastic.
We will definitely do this trip again before we leave the island.
A big thanks to the Cobalt crew for providing masks,towels and cold water special thanks for the wonderful Marcel and Noah for the fun,humour and information which we gratefully received.
We highly recommend this company to all future travellers it was the highlight of our holiday.

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!!

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

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

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!

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.

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

Highlight of our week. This was a great day charter and exceeded all expectations. We had a group of 11 ranging in age from 2 to 70. Everyone had a great time. Stingray City and snorkeling were outrageous!!! Not only did Travis and Graeme make it a fun day, they also made it educational and interesting. Lunch at Kaibo Bar was fantastic. The day could not have been better. Thanks guys! Hope to see you again!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

Some of Caymans best! These were some of the best 4 hours spent during our stay in the Caymans. Graeme, Travis, and Marcel were wonderful hosts and great with our (6) little ones. I highly recommend booking a tour, you will not be disappointed! They are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and safety oriented. Absolutely great vibes, we hope to be back someday :)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

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

Must try! Noah and Kyle were fun, informative, friendly and made our experience very special! The stingray experience was totally different and Kyle was so good in explaining details.

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.

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.

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

He picked us up at our hotel and he was so knowledgeable and explained everything really well. We are both seniors and he was very kind and helpful. He even took photos for us. We thought he was awesome and we quite enjoyed his British accent! The owner of the charter company was very quick to respond to all of our inquiries.

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.

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!

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

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

Best experience on the island.... Book it! Book this now! I don't write reviews; this is my first ever. I was compelled to do so because our trip with Cobalt was so great! Everyone is professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Graeme made the scheduling easy and, along with our two captains, Marcel & Jaco, we were able to completely tailor the trip to where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. Our captains were informative about everything on the island and made sure we had everything we needed. We stopped at a couple of beach bars, watched the sunset at Starfish Point, snorkeled in Bio Bay (which was amazing), etc. You can customize your trip however you like. My wife accidentally left her watch on the boat and Graeme was kind enough to personally deliver it back to our hotel the next day. We had a blast all day with Jaco and Marcel on the boat... great guys! I can't say enough good things about the entire crew. We will be back to Grand Cayman and another tour with Cobalt will be the first thing we book!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

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

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

Amazing time!! We rented two boats for our group of 15 to go to Bio Bay. It. Was. Incredible. Our captains were fun and personable but also full of knowledge. It felt like hanging out with friends. The boats were beautiful, the night sky was breathtaking, and our swim in the Bio Bay was one we won’t forget! We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you!!!Also to note, the communication from the company from start to finish was excellent!!
