Great snorkel sights, informative guides- excellent experience. Highly recommend

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!

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!

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 :)

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.

If you do one excursion in Grand Cayman, do this one!! There’s a reason these guys have so many 5 star reviews. We stopped at Grand Cayman as part of our Disney Cruise. Booked these guys and immediately got a text from Graeme the owner confirming our booking. On the day of the excursion we met Graeme at the Hard Rock Cafe which is a very short walk from the cruise port. From there he drove us to the boat where Andrew and John would take care of us. We had an absolutely blast! Mind you we have a 4 and a 2 year and both loved it! This was easily the best excursion we had on our 7 day cruise. We started at Starfish cove. The water was perfect and nice and shallow for the kids. They loved looking at the starfish and chasing the chickens on the beach. There were on and off thundershowers but John made sure we stayed dry and see some stingrays. Finally, they took some incredible pictures of the kids and sent them to us after the tour. The whole experience was flawless will definitely book again

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dream Charter Our group of six had the best time on our six hour charter. We visited Stingray city, two snorkeling sites, Rum Point for dinner, and the Bioluminescent Bay. Our Captains, Marcel and Lars, are skilled, knowledgeable, and fun. They made our trip memorable and our next charter will be with these two and Cobalt Custom Charters. If you are looking to book a luxury private charter in Grand Cayman look no further. Your choice must be Cobalt Custom Charters.

Once in a lifetime experience This day could not have been more perfect. The staff were incredible and so accommodating especially with 3 children with us(ages 7 and 4). We felt safe the whole day. After seeing all the big excursion boats I’m SO HAPPY we paid extra for this once in a lifetime experience.

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

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!

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!

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

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.

Exceptional experience! Kyle and Noah were exceptional. Their knowledge is incredible and not only is it a relaxing, easy going, thoroughly enjoyable trip, you learn so much too.
There were a few that were nervous in our group and the guys made them feel totally comfortable, explained everything in just enough detail to put minds at ease and ensured we all had a great time. Considering the cost of some of the commercial charters I can't recommend this highly enough.
Speeding out to sting ray city with your own music playing on the boat, wind in your hair, chilling out. And then to swim with the rays, snorkel the reef and see the starfish. No better way to spend a few hours. Excellent trip and I wouldn't hesitate to book them again if I ever get the chance. Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

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!

Bioluminescent Plankton Tour We had an amazing time out on the water after dinner for the bioluminescent plankton tour. 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. This is a must do activity for families. You can only do it 12 places in the world.

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.

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.

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!

BEST Crew!! Graeme and Travis really know how to make you feel special and at home. These guys know some of the best spots around the island for snorkelling and seeing lots of aquatic life! The boat itself is super fast and really comfortable - so many seats! Make sure you check out Stingray City or Rum Point! ALSO, they got the tunes!!!!!!

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.

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.

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 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!

We had a 4 hr charter with Lars and Noah- went to stingray city, snorkeling, starfish point and mangroves.
They were great at giving us a history on island and educating us on the plants and animals in the area. They made sure we had a great time. Highly recommend!!

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.

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!

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!

One of the best experiences on Grand Cayman Travis and Graeme were terrific. Both were very knowledgeable, friendly and provided a relaxing, fun and informative tour. The new boat is beautiful and quiet. I would recommend Cobalt for anyone wanting to not be with the crowds on larger boats and that would appreciate a truly custom tour.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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 :)

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.

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.

Great tour with Cobalt Charters Beautiful weather and a great crew! Marcel and Kyle did a great job and were more than happy to assist us with whatever we needed on our excursion. Such a great experience having a more personalized tour during our short stay in the Caymans. I would highly recommend Cobalt Charters!
