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

Best day on the water This charter for our family of four was the highlight of our trip. Kyle and Noah went above and beyond to ensure a perfect afternoon on the water. They were helpful and knowledgeable and got everyone in the water holding stingrays with ease. Noah captured great pictures of the family as an added bonus. Our charter also included a fabulous snorkel stop over the reef, a stop at Rum Point, and starfish point. We will be back and I would definitely book with cobalt charters again. They were very easy to communicate with and get everything scheduled. I would highly recommend them.read moreread less

The perfect morning charter Our captain Marcel was randomly the same captain we had in October 2023 during our last visit - He is exceptional! We booked with the same company bc of our fantastic experience during our last visit.
It was pure good fortune that we were paired with Marcel again. He is patient, knowledgeable, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure the perfect tailored experience for our family. He listened, observed and crafted a trip that was tailored to what my son enjoyed the most. My son is limited verbal on the Autism spectrum. Several times during our charter he unprompted said “I like it!” “I love it!”
Marcel truly went above and beyond. He took pictures, was patient helping my son in and out of the boat, ensured that he could participate in the stingray and starfish experiences, knew so much about the island and sea life and I cannot express my appreciation enough.
What a wonderful, perfect day!
I wanted to ensure we shared our gratitude! We will definitely book with you again on our next visit.

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

Cobalt Charter Private Tour We enjoyed this trip so much! 4 adults and since it was private we could do whatever we wanted. We swam with stingrays and checked out starfish and mangroves.

The water was perfect and the bioluminescent plankton snorkeling was an amazing and you need experience. I highly recommend! Johnnie was a great tour guide and taught us a lot.

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

Wonderful and Memorable Experience! Marcel and Luke were great guides, so informative, patient and very easy to interact with. 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. It was so nice to not have a crowd to deal with on a tour, and just have our family of 5 enjoy time together. Highly recommend!read moreread less

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

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 trip! Cobalt custom charters is the way to go! Booking with Graeme was effortless & communication was excellent. Lars & Marcel were top notch guides and tailored the trip to our interests. We fed & held the stingrays, Lars got tons of great pictures, saw some cool fish while snorkeling, handled the starfish on the point, and swam in the wonder of bioluminescence bay. The charter was enjoyable right down to the playlist on board & a perfect sunset!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

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!

Fantastic way to spend an afternoon! Relaxing, informative, and knowledgeable crew! First things first: Kyle and Noah are like brothers from another mother, jibing and jabbing and oh so much fun! Great patter and knowledgeable response to questions. This was a great, I means GREAT afternoon on and on the water!
Stingray beach - Held, fed, and yes kissed a stingray!
Snorkeling - amazing sea life, no rush, clean and well maintained gear (and plenty of towels).
Starfish Beach - large and small, and ALWAYS making sure we were keeping the marine life safe!
Honestly, these guys have the best job in the world, and they share it all with you! (Kyle was heading off to the Bioluminescent Bay later this evening will have to catch that next time).

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

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

Best charter trip! Kyle and Noah were exceptional! Most of us on the charter had been to stingray city in the past, but we all agreed this was by far the best trip we had! We learned so much more about the rays and history of Grand Cayman. And our time on the charter was catered specifically to us and what we wanted to see and do. We can't thank Kyle and Noah enough for such a fantastic day! They really went the extra mile for their guests.read moreread less

Memories My Children Will Never Forget! We do not typically write reviews but felt we had to as the adventure that Graeme and Travis provided was one of the best experiences we have ever had. 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! If you are thinking about a charter, it is a no brainer, think no more and book with C3 and sit back, relax and enjoy the experience they provide.Maiorino Family

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.

Best charter in the Caymans My sister and I went to Bio Bay to see the amazing bioluminescent plankton. Steve was our guide. 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. We had a wonderful time and if you chose this company you will be very pleased!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 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

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

Family day on the water with Stingrays and Starfish Amazing half day charter with Cobalt yesterday. Kyle and Andrew were incredibly warm and shared tons of really interesting information about each stop we visited. Our daughters (5 and 7) learned a lot about stingrays, starfish, and how to thoughtfully interact with wildlife. We appreciated how professional and attentive they were to our comfort and safety. The whole Cobalt charter experience was amazing and we will definitely book a trip with them again.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

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

Great family adventure feeding the stingrays, snorkeling and holding starfish Our grand daughter was going on her first snorkeling trip and, as we all know, if kids hate something the first time they pretty much are never going to do it again. So we researched who had great reviews working with kids and selected Cobalt. Graeme and Travis made it a fun adventure feeding and holding the stingrays, snorkeling in a beautiful spot that wasn't too deep it would freak out the kiddo but deep enough it had lots of fish. I swear the part she liked the most was holding the starfish and watching them slowllllyyy move. Thanks guys for making sure we will have many more snorkeling/ocean adventures with the family.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

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.

5 STAR PRIVATE CHARTER This was an unbelievable experience and beyond our expectations! 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!!

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 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!

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

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.

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
