Guide Mike Saved The Day!
Our guide Mike was fabulous. Friendly and relaxed, totally in control and expert, but very laid back and flexible, letting us decide how we spent our time on the charter.
Unfortunately we lost 1/2 hour of our 4 hour charter as the meeting up address supplied was incorrect. It was never at ‘18’ Forum Lane, but luckily I went for a walk and found Mike. Not his fault at all, sounded like a Tripadvisor error as he said they always say to meet by Agua restaurant on Forum Lane, 200 yards from 18.
The trip itself was wonderful, the stingrays were stand out. Mike had personal names for many of them and with the help of squid food they were so tame and able to allow us to hold and feed. Magnificent! A decent snorkel over the reef, quickly viewed the starfish, before heading to the other-worldly bioluminescence bay. This was totally memorable to witness. Don’t forget bug spray after sunset! Mosquitos about.

Amazing day!
Mike was such an awesome guide! Very knowledgeable, super friendly, and he even took us to a less crowded spot to see stingrays, and he had names for them 💕. 10 out of 10!!

Perfect Family Excursion
Mike was awesome! He took us to more secluded spots where we were not surrounded by a ton of other tourists. He knew where to take us to give the best experience for our family. He was on time, courteous, his boat was clean and he taught us about the culture and history of the Cayman Islands. 100% would book again!

Stingrays, Starfish & More
Despite windy conditions Captain Mike was still willing to give it a try if we were up for it. So glad we did! We saw starfish, stingrays and had delicious pizza and drinks on the beach at Kaibo.

Call your neighbor...
We received the contact info from a neighborhood friend. It was the second of two phone numbers we received. Thank the Lord the first did not answer. The conversation I had with Roshaine was so pleasant. When I was done speaking with her, it made me feel better about people in general. She was so polite, helpful, respectful and simply such a nice person. Thank you Roshaine. This entire experience I compare to calling a good friend or neighbor and asking if they wanted to take their boat out that afternoon. We went out for three hours and it was so chill. We snorkeled at two spots and hit Stingray City. At SRC we did an off-beat spot. It was so simple and unique. We had our own little spot, amongst the larger groups at the site. Mike was great. He made it personal. The pickup location was so easy for us. We got picked up at Newlands Barcadere. It was an 8 minute drive. I'm sure they service everywhere, but this was so down to earth. Please give this company serious consideration for your first adventure, or one of the many you take. Again, it's like going out with a friend or neighbor...

The best ocean charter!
Mike was great! He was very knowledgeable about the best places to see the classic wildlife (snorkeling, starfish, sting rays) and went out of his way to make it a memorable day for our family. Some of us were more adventurous than others, and he tailored the experience to everyone. Highly recommend!

Highly Recommend Cayboss—The Highlight of Our Trip!
Cayboss Charters was recommended to us by friends who used them last year, and we’re so glad we took their advice! Our experience was absolutely amazing. Mike was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. He made the whole day unforgettable. We saw beautiful starfish, swam with stingrays, and snorkeled in crystal-clear water. It was such a memorable adventure and one of the highlights of our trip. We’ll definitely be booking with Cayboss again next time we visit Grand Cayman!

Best Day Ever in Grand Cayman
We had an amazing experience on our private boat tour on Grand Cayman with Captain Mike and Cayboss Charters. There were weather concerns the day of our reservation and the office staff kept us informed and was very patient with all of our questions. We felt very safe even though it was a little windy. Starfish point was gorgeous! The water was so clear and we saw many starfish. There were also huge fish eating wings off the back of the gourmet pirate ship. Yes, a floating food truck. We then went to stingray city and had the most memorable experience! The rays were everywhere and many were huge. Captain Mike got in with us and the rays seemed to know him. There was a huge black female ray named Midnight that he said he has interacted with for over 20 years. A day we will never forget! We cannot recommend Cayboss and Captain Mike enough!
