Mitchell, Barry and Romel took great care of us on a 2-stop tour of Stingray City and Coral Gardens. We had the best time learning about the stingrays and snorkeling. Highly recommend Captain Marvins!
Excellent experience with a courteous captain and crew. The crew was knowledgeable and provided personal attention to guests. The ship and equipment was clean and comfortable. The experience allowed everyone to feed the sting rays. I highly recommend the afternoon experience.
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again .
My wife and I booked two separate excursions with Captain Marvin’s, and both were absolutely outstanding! Stingray City Sandbar Experience: Captain Astor and Jimbo led a fantastic trip. Jimbo was great at introducing us to the stingrays and educating us on their behavior, while the safety briefing was clear and professional. A huge shoutout to Romel, the photographer, who did a phenomenal job capturing all the perfect shots! Bioluminescent Bay Tour: Captain Segur and Jaden took us out for an amazing evening. Seeing the water glow from the dinoflagellates was a surreal, bucket-list experience. We really appreciated the specific instructions on how to interact with the plankton safely and how to maximize the "glow" while in the water. The Bottom Line: Both boats were clean, modern, and well-maintained. It is clear the entire crew is highly trained and genuinely cares about guest satisfaction, as well as the preservation of the marine environment. If you are considering an excursion in Grand Cayman, Captain Marvin’s is the way to go. Total pros!
Highlight of our trip! A must do. Well worth it. We spent about 40 minutes with the stingrays. It was a little crowded (depends on cruise ships). We left from Captain's Marvin dock on Raleigh Quay. It was a bit choppy but the stingrays did not care. At one point my wife had five or six of them swimming around her and bumping into her. Certain parts of the sand bar are very shallow so if you have shorter children (or adults) you can stand there...the stingrays will find you. If you get a chance to feed them, do it. The amount of suction from these creatures is truly amazing. Follow the instructions and tuck your thumb in. Be careful of the fish swarming you; they will steal the food. Captain Marvin's crew were great. Highly recommend this outing. We decided to do just the stingrays to limit the amount of time on the water for me....motion sickness sometimes causes me issues...but no problems as I was sure to take my medication first.
Such a great tour of just Stingray City, which was exactly what we were looking for. The tour guides were patient and fun and it was a perfect trip for our family.
My wife, and some friends of ours, went on the Stingray City Tour. We had a wonderful time! Astor and Jimmy were awesome. They explained everything and we had plenty of time to play with the stingrays. Thank you guys for a great time!
Outstanding staff made our experience very comfortable with great memories! They accommodated infants, children and adults with respect and understanding. Excellent experience and family celebration! Thank you
