It was a perfect day! The crew were amazing, very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable! My husband and I had a fantastic day and we would recommend Crazy Crab to anybody looking for a adventure and relaxing day on a boat. We took some beautiful photos at the Sting Ray City and snorkeling and enjoyed the sun and the nature of Grand Cayman. Our trip was a romantic one as it was only the two of us (plus the crew), but it would be perfect for a trip with family and friends as well.

Booked an excursion to Crystal Caves with this company. They asked us to change our original departure time and were late to pick us up at the hotel. The driver gave a brief explanation of the island but was hard to hear over the noise of the van and he didn't seem very enthusiastic. The ride to the Caves was about a half hour and the vehicle was air-conditioned. Driver waited when we went through Caves with a guide. On return, driver seemed like we bothered him when we returned as he was eating and he had to press a button to open the van door. Maybe he was having a bad day. Not very personable when others asked questions about the island and sites. We tipped him although we probably shouldn't have (hopefully his day got better after that) but he drove well and got us there and back safely.

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!

The four of us did a private 1/2 day with Willis for Stingray City and Starfish point, and snorkeling. From the booking to the end of our trip, the experience was great. We had Willis as our guide. We felt safe, the boat was clean, and he was fun and knowledgeable. There are many charters to choose from in Cayman, and I would do this one again in a second. Don't look anywhere else just book it!

I booked an excursion on FamilyTime for our day in Grand Cayman and was absolutely thrilled. Willis picked us up from our ship and took care of me, my husband and my two teenage boys for the day. The boys loved Willis and learned a lot from him. We swam with the stingrays, snorkelled and had lunch at Rum Point. Rum point was pricey for lunch but a fun place to eat. I highly recommend this company. I know people on our ship booked other excursions through the cruise and were very disappointed with the crowds. We had individual service all day, avoided the crowds and it was worth every penny.

My son has completed two rounds of snorkel camp with Cayman Snorkel. It has hands down been an unforgettable experience for him. He was nervous on his first day and now can tell me everything there is to know about snorkeling. Captain Jason may be his new favorite person and snorkeling is our sons favorite activity. I can't recommend snorkel camp and Cayman Snorkel highly enough. It has been an absolute pleasure for our son and our family. I will recommend Cayman Snorkel and captain Jason a million times over! Thank you for this amazing opportunity.
