Boat Cruises

The ultimate guide to boating in Grand Cayman. Set sail to Stingray City, experience snorkelling tours, sunset cruises, Starfish Point and more.

Spending time on Cayman’s beautiful waters is the high point of any visitor’s itinerary and rightly so! The calm, crystal clear waters and cooling breeze make perfect boating conditions as you cruise across the North Sound or Caribbean Sea.

The majority of boat trips tour the North Sound, a 35 square mile area of water protected by the reef, which ensures calm waters, as well as offering great snorkelling opportunities. It is also home to Starfish Point and the world famous Stingray City.

When it comes to considering what type of boat trip you’d like to go on, there are several factors to consider, such as whether to opt for a private or group tour, whether to spend a full or half day on the water, where to stop for lunch and more.

Private Charter: A private charter gives you flexibility to set your own itinerary. Choose what time you set off, where you go, for how long and where to eat lunch. It’s completely up to you. You might even get access to boat toys such as tubes, water skis and wakeboards. Best of all, you get to enjoy the whole experience with just your friends and family.

Group Tour: A group tour will mean you have to follow a set itinerary; however, the costs will be much lower. Boats are well-equipped and comfortable and you might even make a few new friends on your trip!

Most charters, whether private or not, will provide a free pick-up/drop-off service in the Seven Mile Beach area, snorkelling gear and complimentary water and ice.
