Highlights
- Starfish Point - Starfish Point is a serene and relaxing beach where starfish are scattered across the sand in very shallow waters. It is often the first or last stop of the trip, perfect for unwinding, exploring, playing in the sand, or sunbathing to achieve that perfect tan! Typically, visitors spend about 30 to 40 minutes here, or even longer….

Typically, visitors spend about 30 to 40 minutes here, or even longer.
- Stingray City - Stingray City Sandbar is Grand Cayman’s top attraction. Visitors can hold, kiss, feed, pet, and even receive friendly back rubs from the rays. As this is a private tour, there is no rush, allowing ample time to enjoy the experience. Generally, the visit lasts around 40 minutes to an hour, or longer, depending on the group size.
- Rowan Water Sports - This is the designated meeting point for those arriving from the cruise ships.
- Coral Gardens - Coral Gardens is home to tropical fish, numerous coral species, and occasionally, a wild green turtle might swim by to greet visitors! The water here is typically deep, ranging from 12 to 18 feet, so bringing floatation devices is recommended for those who are not strong swimmers. The usual duration of the visit is around 30 to 50 minutes, or longer.

Wonderful company and excellent customer service - I booked this private excursion for myself and a few family members. A couple of days prior to the excursion, Wania reached out to ensure all details, including location for pick up/food/beverages/etc were confirmed and to see if we had any additional requests or needs. I felt their attention to detail was spot on. Our cruise ship arrived in Grand Cayman around 7 am, and the only way to get on shore was by tender. At approximately 7:30, the captain came on and stated that the ocean conditions were not safe to utilize the tenders and that the cruise ship would be turning around and going back underway. As you can imagine, we were sad and disappointed not to experience Grand Cayman and, on top of everything else, I knew the refund policy was 24 hours. I texted Wania immediately to inform the company of the situation. They were extremely kind and, without me asking, confirmed I would be refunded IN FULL. I am so grateful to them and, based on this experience alone, highly recommend using this company. I WILL get back to Grand Cayman and I can assure you 100% that this company has my business for life. Thank you for being so accommodating and understanding!

What a treat to be on board with this crew. - We had an odd experience with Viator, so book these guys direct. I never check my email on vacation. I happened to check and our tour had been cancelled because our card had been compromised. I panicked. It was New Years Day and we had 13 people counting on Sting Ray City and Star Fish Point on a private tour. This crew pulled it off, fantastic food, music, great company and we LOVED EVERY MINUTE of it. They made sure everyone was comfortable, we had rum punch, sandwiches ,fruit, beer, water, orange pop. This was an easy transfer from the ship, mom drove us to her sons boat. It was one of our highs of the trip for everyone. we got into the water and were freaked, then nobody wanted to get out. Magical day!

Worth every penny! - This charter was amazing!!! I cannot recommend the boat and crew enough! We rented the private charter for our party of 14. The crew was friendly and very accommodating. The driver who picked us up and dropped us off was so friendly and shared info about the island. The took us to swim with Sting rays, snorkel, and see star fish. Food was plentiful and tasty! If you’re wondering if it’s worth it… trust me it is!

Great day in Grand Cayman with Poncho - Poncho and our captain made this a great trip! While there were a few issues with equipment that were outside of the team’s control, they went above and beyond to make the day enjoyable and resolve any issues. Would definitely recommend them for a tour in Grand Cayman!

Day with sting rays and starfish - Fun with friends on the boat is hard to beat. The crew was fun to be around. They went out of their way to maximize our experience. Holding and feeding the sting rays was really cool. Also enjoyed the snorkeling as the water was clear and lot of fish. Holding a couple of starfish and feel the suction cups and see the starfish wrap around my hand was cool

Never got to experience - The owners cancelled on us less than 24 hours prior to our sailing with no explanation. While we did get our money back, it was too late to book another excursion on the island. After e-mailing, they did say that they were having "mechanical issues" but did not offer a different sailing on another day or attempt to find us another boat. I can't recommend.

Do NOT USE THIS COMPANY! - Do NOT book any tour from this company! We booked a PRIVATE charter for our group of 15 people (the max it is said it allowed). We paid a lot of money for it to be private. However, other people were on the boat with us. After speaking to the other guest we did not know they said they paid considerably less per person than we did! We could have saved about $900 by doing one of this companies non private tour groups…which is what the tour truly was. I have screenshots of everything that said “private charter”, “only your group will participate”.This was 1 week ago. I sent an email directly to Rowan Watersports. Have not heard back. Then requested a partial refund from Viator for $487, which is considerably less than the $900 we really deserved and it was rejected. They lied and took our money. Do not book from them!
