      Great time!
      This was a fantastic charter! We did 3 hours in the afternoon, which was perfect to visit the stingrays, do some snorkeling and see starfish point. Cody and James were excellent and provided top notch attention and fun! We can’t recommend this enough.

      Great experience.
      We booked a four hour charter for Stingray City, snorkeling, and Star Fish Point. James was our captain and he was amazing. He was super flexible in accommodating our request to spend more time snorkeling at different locations. We would definitely charter from them again.

      The weather was a little rough but James has excellent boating skills and offered a refund if we did not want to proceed. He was very friendly and knowledgable. Such an awesome experience and James helped us fulfill one of our bucket list activities! Thank you James and Island Charter!

      Cody was an excellent host/ captain. If you are coming to the island he is the guy to see. Beautiful boat.
      Cody was an excellent captain/ hot. He was waiting for us at the dock and was responsive leading up to the date. Very patient and hospitable. His boat is beautiful and well maintained.

      We had such an awesome day with Captain Cody. This boat is beautiful, and he was professional and accommodating. Cody clearly loves what he does and does it well. This will be our charter of choice every time!

      Awesome private boat tour experience.
      Captain Cody was fantastic. Our family loved his knowledge of stingrays and the best snorkeling spots. Our kids really enjoyed swimming in the bioluminescent water. We would absolutely book this again. We have been to a few different stingray cities. Grand cayman has the biggest and most interactive stingrays. It was a great tour and we would definitely recommend you do this

      Amazing Private Charter in Cayman
      We booked a private charter for a group of 10 people and it was absolutely fantastic. If you are on the fence or still considering, let me be your deciding factor, Just Book! Cody and his first mate was so kind, informative and nice. We had a beautiful day out on the water and they took very good care of us. We stopped at the Stingray Sandbar and we got to meet one of their stingray buddies. They are very knowledgeable, not only about the island, but about its animals. They shared so many facts and tips about the stingrays. The best thing compared to the big tour boats. We had our own guide who went and got a stingray, showed us how to handle her, and fed her. The other boats just dump their guests in the water and you fend for yourself. Our guide even fed the other sting rays, which caused all of them to gather around us lending a beautiful snorkeling experience. We then went to Coral gardens, this charter has all the equipment you will need. Which is so handy! We were to go to see starfish but we were starving by this point, so we cut our trip short to go get some food. Only think I would suggest seeing if you can bring food or drinks on board, something we didn't do. We were pretty hungry from all the activities. That's the only thing that could have elevated our experience.

      Excellent first time charter experience.
      Cody was an excellent boat captain. He was thorough, knowledgeable and very reasonable prices. Would book another charter if we make it back to Grand Cayman. We went to Stingray City and Bio Bay.

      Amazing Captains
      Captain Mark was great and professional. Knew the area and maneuvered us brilliantly amongst the reef and sand bars. Took us to some beautiful locations where no one else thought of stopping at. Island charter had a great report with stingrays at stingray and it was an amazing experience for everyone. I will 100% come back to these pros when we return. Thanks Mark! You guys made the difference, and it was great having just our family on the boat. We did two trips with Island Charter during our stay, one on each boat, and all the activities we could. Sting Ray city and Bio Bay were by far the most exciting, but the barrier reef snorkeling was legit as well if you can deal with some light swells. 10/10 for these guys. Captain Cody and Captain Mark.

      A charter for those looking for first class service.
      To say that our charter with Cody was perfect as an understatement. First and foremost, the boat is wonderful and spotlessly clean, which is rare for this type of charter. My wife in particular is very fussy when it comes to this sort of thing( we’ve canceled several vacation plans because we’ve shown up and the place or boat was too dirty to suit her) so the second I stepped on his boat ( after he had us remove our shoes) I knew it was gonna be a good day. When we got to stingray city, we were the only boat there we spent almost an hour there by ourselves with my family for and Cody showing us how to hold and kiss the stingrays. It was a magical experience. We had done stingray city once before when we stopped on a cruise and it was miserable because there were 50 or 60 people there. On this private excursion, it was like our own private island. After stingray city, we went to starfish point, which is pretty cool and then he took us to a boat inn restaurant on rum point that had very good food. We finished our trip after dark by bioluminescent Bay, which if you’ve never done this before is completely amazing the glowing plankton surround your body in blue aura. Cody was a great captain. Gave my family, Security and special treatment. We did a full six hour tour and saw everything we wanted to and were not rushed at all, don’t look any further at any other charters just book with Cody.

      Our experience with Cody and Island Charter was the highlight of our trip. Working with Cody was excellent. Had to reschedule due to weather conditions, and he was super accommodating. He's really engaged with everyone and was a fantastic guide. Can't recommend enough, will definitely book with him again.

    We booked a 5-hour charter boat tour with 2 other couples so the cost was equivalent to other tours. Our captain was Mark and he was right on time. We told him what we wanted to do and he accommodated us on every level. He was friendly and as a native Caymanian, shared with us his knowledge. He went above and beyond as we hurried back to catch our cruise ship. While the boat was much smaller that other boats you'll see on excursions, with only 6 people plus Mark, it was intimate and personal and I would highly recommend it!

    This is absolutely, hands-down worth every penny. Capt. Mark knows the fun facts about the marine life, the “puppy” sting rays love him, and we had a wonderful and unique time with him. We made memories, which is what we wanted - an experience to look back on and smile.

    House keeping items: The boat is clean and in top shape, bottle waters and an ice cooler is available which we threw our food/drinks in, and the new snorkeling gear is really nice. The pickup at Cayman Bay is easy and the company is very responsive.

    We recommend this without hesitation. If we are back in the Cayman Islands, we will book again and will request Capt. Mark.

    We booked a private boat tour with Island Charters - the 5 hour trip with Bio Bay - and had the best time. Captain James took us out and showed up on time at Camana Bay by Aguas Restaurant to pick us up. We went snorkeling, went to Stingray City, Starfish Point, then Kaibo for dinner before heading to Bio Bay. We had plenty of time to enjoy the views and do everything we wanted to do. James knows the waters and sealife well, and truly cares about the ocean and its animals. I read some reviews about jellyfish in Bio Bay and needing to wear long pants - this was not an issue. The jellies are on the ocean floor, so if you don't stand up it's not a problem. We were with 6 feet tall men, and no one had an issue. We went out in bathing suits, used the flotation noodles Captain gave us and had a blast.

    We loved Island Charters so much that I googled them and booked a fishing trip on their 36' boat. Captain Cody picked us up at 7am and took us out for 4 hrs. We had an amazing time. These boats are impeccably maintained and these Captains know what they're doing. I will definitely book with Island Charters again when I'm back on the island.

    took a 4 hour morning / afternoon tour. this is a "small business" with a couple of boats and operators. Clay was our driver/ tour guide. this was an incredible experience condensed down into 4 hours, i didnt want it to end. i cant say enough good about how Clay took care of us the entire time, was very knowledgeable and didnt only take us to the hot spots but also explained EVERYTHING from wildlife to history of the areas. we had considerable weather move in on us in the North Sound essentially blocking us from getting back to the pickup point, Clay was very aware of the weather and took it into consideration regarding time and travel. I would suggest selecting the pickup point be Rum Point as it will give you more time in the water and less time traveling across the Sound. the boat ride was really enjoyable however.

    this experience made me want to come back and spend dedicated time at Grand Cayman.

    Our young pilot James was a delight! Articulate with a keen sense of humor and historical knowledge of the Caymans. We four had a blast kissing the Stingray’s and snorkeling in beautiful waters off the reef. We would recommend this to anyone in a small group wanting to avoid a larger crowd.

    Mark was our captain and was amazing. He knew the area like the back of his hand. We went snorkeling at an amazing reef, then went to sting ray city. He brought fish to feed them, and as soon as our boat pulled up they flocked to him. It was amazing!!! After the sting rays we went to the barrier reef which was unbelievable! We snorkeled there and then went to Starfish city, which was good but we could have gone in a car and walked out directly onto the beach. We didn't spend a lot of time there which was fine because we can easily go back. Our tour was 3 hours and I wish we had done 4. The boat had a small covered area and I thought we would get too hot, but once we started out it wasn't even a thought. We had 4 adults and 2 Eleven year olds. We all agreed it was the highlight of the trip so far! Mark did proved really nice snorkeling equipment, life vests if needed, and water. I would being a few snacks. I couldn't recommend this enough!!!

    We went to Starfish Point, Rum Point (snorkeling and original mudslides), and bioluminescent bay. Our captain, Mark, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable about everything we did. Starfish Point was amazing, he got in the water with us, explained what we were seeing and educated us about starfish. Snorkeling was amazing, we saw an eagle ray, stingray, sea turtle, and so many fish. We had a great trip, then we went to the bio bay!! It was an out of this world experience. Mark got us there at the perfect time. We were in the water as everything was starting to sparkle. We are so glad we got to experience the bio bay and this trip overall. Thank you, Mark!

    Best day of my life! Cody was amazing! I can’t swim and Cody got in the water with me and snorkeled right beside me. He made feel at ease the whole time. He was extremely knowledgeable about the stingrays and you can tell they know him and flock to him. Book with Cody you won’t be disappointed!

    Excellent tour to discover the must-sees of Grand Cayman. Captain Cody was very attentive and provided us with great service, we were very comfortable aboard his yacht, which is super large, clean and equipped, has a bathroom and communication was excellent. The best thing about the Tour is Stingray City, a great experience with the manta rays that are very friendly. The rest of the tour is not so cool, the advertising is misleading. Only Stingray City is worth it, I would return there without thinking about it.

    We had a 4 hour tour with Captain Mark and it was really fun. He is very knowledgeable and you can tell his passion and love for all the marine lives around the island.
    We got to interact with the stingrays (amazing), went for a little snorkeling, and then spent some time at Starfish point . We also got to view a gorgeous sunset from Starfish Point and finally went to the bioluminescent bay where we saw the water came to life as we swam around in the dark.
    Overall, we did lot in those 4 hours but never felt rushed at any point. Just really want to commend Mark for keeping our tour organized :)).
    Great way to spend a few hours on the water and getting to visit some interesting spots on the island !!
