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.read moreread less

Must book! Thanks Marcel and Noah! Book them!!! Had an amazing experience and very knowledgeable captains (Marcel and Noah). They educated us the entire time about what we were seeing, and where we were going, and about all the sea life. You can tell they are passionate about what they do. Always made sure we were comfortable and took pictures of us with their own camera and confidently sent us to them via a link after the tour!read moreread less

Amazing experience We used Cobalt for a bachelorette trip and it was an amazing experience. The guys were very friendly, polite and punctual. The ride was very smooth and safe. It was a lot of fun! We went to stingray city and starfish point. Stingray city was a must! Our guide was amazing with the stingrays! He was able to catch a few stingrays and we were able to hold them and even kiss them! Our other tour guide had a camera and took a bunch of photos of us! Thank you for an amazing experience!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

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

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

Best 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

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

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

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

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

Best Part of our trip Hands down, the best part of our vacation was the snorkeling trip. Jonathan and Andrew were excellent guides and hosts. They had great knowledge of the sea life and the area. We went snorkeling with stingrays and atwo other snorkeling spots during our private half-day trip. Don't hesitate to book this if you're looking for a private snorkeling trip! In addition, booking was easy and was picked up and dropped off promptly.read moreread less

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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 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

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

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.

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

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!

Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing! John and Andrew made our family excursion fun and memorable. What great knowledge and information they gave us! Beautiful evening spent with the stingrays and at bioluminescent bay. It was great having just family aboard and not having to worry about their being people we didn't know. Very intimate. Would highly recommend!!read moreread less

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 againread 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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!!!

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

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.

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!

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

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
