StingraySailing

Cayman's favorite stingray friendly, stingray city tour.

StingraySailing Catamaran

 Avoid the crowds for a better experience at Stingray City.

20 passenger max

 Our trips are done on the sailing catamaran the Far Tortuga. The Far Tortuga is forty-three feet long and twenty feet wide.  With trips with a maximum of twenty people, there is always lots of room aboard. Instead of sitting on a bench rubbing shoulders with the person next to you, we give you space to lay out in the sun to work on your tan. Under power or under sail, it is always a smooth ride on the Far-Tortuga. 

How About a Private Charter?

 A private charter allows you to make to most of your time on the water. You can customize your tour to suit your group's needs. Request an early departure to beat the crowds, or a later departure to enjoy a peaceful afternoon or sunset. Whatever your needs, a private charter allows you to achieve them. Able to accommodate up to 25 guests 

Contact us for Charter prices and get the boat for yourselves.

Be a Part of our Group Tour

  We are back in action and pleased to be offering our full range of services once again. We have reduced the number of guests on our group tours to further improve our ability to offer our guests a more personalized and memorable experience. Our Group tours typically spend three hours on the water and include two stops. One stop is to play with our friendly stingrays at the SandBar and another stop at the reef for snorkeling. We provide food to feed the stingrays and Masks for snorkeling.

 Catering to Both Guests arriving by Cruise ship and those staying on the island.  

$85 Per person. Limit of 20 passengers per trip

Daily Schedule

Our schedule varies from day to day based on the time of year and the schedule of the ships that are in port. We typically offer a morning and afternoon trip and will modify the timing of these to either accommodate guests from the ships or to avoid the ship crowds to create a better experience for our on-island guests. Let us know when you are available and we will match you up with the tour that best suits your needs.  

Satisfaction Guaranteed

We have built our reputation around the idea of staying in balance with nature. Many of the bigger operators at Stingray city depend on catching stingrays to show one to their guests. We find that if you treat them nicely and just sit back, they will come to you. This often results in us having more rays than the competition and other operators coming to our boat to kidnap rays when they can not find any for themselves.

Sounds like a bold claim to make? Come and see for yourself.

Stingray City

Local legend has it that the stingrays began gathering in the area decades ago when fisherman would return from an excursion and go behind a reef into the sound and clean their fish in the calm water of the shallows and sand bar area. The fish guts were simply thrown overboard and the stingrays eventually congregated to feast on the discarded guts. Soon the stingrays began to associate the sound of a boat engine with a free meal.

The 15 Best Stingray City Tours In Grand Cayman (2024)

Stingray city tours.

In this article, we review the top 15 Stingray City tours in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. This article will help you decide which company to book with.

1. George’s Watersports – 4-Stop Stingray Eco Tour

catamaran sail stingray city

George’s Watersports offers a unique 4-stop stingray eco tour that goes to the following four spots, all in one tour:

– Stingray City Sandbar – Snorkeling at the Barrier Reef – Starfish Point – Mangrove Forest

This tour is great because you experience Stingray City, but also so much more. This is a must do tour whilst vacationing in Grand Cayman! This tour takes small groups, allowing for a less crowded experience.

Below is a video showing this 4-stop stingray eco tour:

Click here to learn more!

2. George’s Watersports – Private Stingray City Tour

image of boat at Stingray City from the air

This private 4-stop stingray tour goes to the following spots:

This is basically the same as the “ 4-stop stingray eco tour ” mentioned above, except this is a private charter, meaning that you have the entire boat to yourself.

The type of boat is also different, as this charter uses a 29-foot center console boat with twin-200hp outboard engines. This boat can hold up to 10 guests.

Below is a video showing this private 4-stop Stingray City tour:

3. Captain Marvin’s – 2-Stop Stingray & Snorkel Tour

picture of stingrays underwater

This tour has two stops: Stingray City sandbar and one snorkel spot (either Coral Gardens or the Barrier Reef).

The positive aspect of this tour is that it is slightly cheaper than other similar tours. However, group sizes can be relatively large with the potential for crowds.

4. Moby Dick Tours – Stingray & Snorkel Tour

Picture of man holding a stingray

This tour is similar to number three above. It is two stops, going to both Stingray City sandbar and then snorkeling at the Barrier Reef.

This tour is usually occupied with cruise ship passengers, meaning that it is more likely to be crowded compared to other companies that take smaller groups. However, this tour could be a good choice if you are visiting Grand Cayman on a cruise as it will likely depart at a time that is receptive to cruise schedules.

5. Frank’s Watersports – Stingray City Tour

image of women holding a stingray

Frank’s Watersports offers a 2.5 hour long Stingray City tour.

This tour can accommodate both cruise ship and hotel guests. This company has been operating for over 40 years, so they have a lot of experience in the industry.

6. Anchor Tours – Stingray & Snorkel

picture of boat

Anchor Tours is a company in Grand Cayman that offers Stingray City tours.

This company has a larger boat and takes larger groups.

7. Ebanks Watersports – Jet Ski Stingray & Snorkel Tour

Picture of people and jet skis at Stingray City sandbar

This 2.5 hour tour is designed for people who like adventure. You take a jet ski to Stingray City sandbar and also to the Barrier Reef to snorkel.

This tour has a much higher chance of cancellation if the weather is rough, compared to regular Stingray City tours that operate on larger boats. Also, if you have back problems, then this tour is not a good idea.

8. Get Bent Charters – Private Stingray Tour

picture of boats at Stingray City sandbar

“Get Bent Charters” offers private Stingray City tours.

They can accommodate up to 12 guests on their boat. Typical length of their charters are between 4 to 6 hours. You can also add snorkeling to this trip.

9. Fat Fish Adventures – Jet Ski Stingray, Snorkel & Mangrove Tour 

picture of a jet ski on a beach

Fat Fish Adventures offers this three stop tour that goes to Stingray City sandbar, snorkeling at the Barrier Reef, and the mangroves.

This is a great excursion for thrill seekers, but this tour is not recommended for people that have back issues or disabilities. Also, there is a much higher chance of cancellation since this tour operates with jet skis, which cannot handle rough waves, meaning that if it is too windy (too rough), then the tour will be cancelled.

10. Nick’s Private Charter – Stingray & Snorkel Tour

picture of people on a boat

Nick’s Private Charter offers private trips to Stingray City.

This is a good company for smaller groups that want a more private experience away from the crowds.

11. Happy Day Charters – Private Stingray City Tour

picture of boat

Happy Day Charters specialises in offering private tours to Stingray City in Grand Cayman.

Their boat is about 30 feet in length, which is perfect for groups of 5 to 8 people. Since they offer private tours, you can customise your experience, by adding other stops to the trip such as snorkeling or Starfish Point.

12. Red Sail Sports – Catamaran Stingray Tour

catamaran boat at Stingray City

Red Sail Sports offers a unique tour that goes to Stingray City sandbar using a “ catamaran ” sail boat.

Catamarans are very spacious, however, they are quite slow, so you end up spending more time getting to the destination, than actually being at the destination.

This tour takes about 40 people per trip, so it isn’t the best option for people that are looking for a small group excursion.

13. Cayman Turtle Divers – Dive At “Deep” Stingray City

woman scuba diving with stingray

Technically there are two different Stingray Cities.

There is the regular “Stingray City sandbar”, which is the main location that 99% of people go to. This is a shallow sandbar in the sea which you can stand at, since the water is only 2 to 3 feet deep.

Then there is the “Deep Stingray City”, which is about a mile away from the sandbar, and is about 12 feet in depth, meaning that you cannot stand there. Cayman Turtle Divers does a scuba diving tour to the “Deep Stingray City”. You can feed and dive with the stingrays underwater. This adventure is only for people who are certified scuba divers. If you want to simply snorkel, then it’s better to book a regular “Stingray City sandbar” tour, as most of those tours include a snorkel stop at the Barrier Reef.

14. Rowan Watersports – Private Stingray City Trip

picture of boat in sea

Rowan Watersports has a large 45-foot boat that you can rent to Stingray City.

Their crew is experienced and professional. This company is a good choice for largers groups who want to avoid the crowds.

Click here to learn more.

15. The Sweet Spot – Guided Jet Ski Stingray Tour

two people on a jet ski at Stingray City

“The Sweet Spot” is a tour company that operates from the Kaibo area in Grand Cayman. If you are a tourist staying on the East side of Grand Cayman, then this may be a more convenient location for you (compared to driving to the west side of the island).

This tour takes you to both Stingray City sandbar and snorkeling at the Barrier Reef, via jet ski. This is a guided tour, meaning that you will have an experienced tour guide to lead you throughout.

This tour is not recommended for people with back problems or disabilities.

How much does it cost to go to Stingray City in Grand Cayman?

The cost can vary between $100 USD per person to $150 USD per person. It depends on the tour company that you go with, and what type of tour you do.

Is Stingray City suitable for kids?

Stingray City is fine for kids that are 3 years or older. If you have kids that are under 3 years, then it is probably too hot and rough for them.

How many people go to Stingray City a day?

It depends on the time of year. In the busy months, there can be over two-thousand people going to Stingray City in a single day. In the slower months, it may only be a few hundred people each day.

Final Thoughts

There are many companies that you can choose to go to Stingray City with.

All of the companies on this list are great choices, but the best overall experience is the “ 4-stop stingray eco tour ” by “ George’s Watersports “. This 4-stop stingray eco tour shows you the best parts of Grand Cayman, all in a single tour, giving you more value for your money.

So if you’re in Rum Point, or you’re planning to be soon, hop aboard our 42’ power catamaran and come on an adventure with us!

Zip across the shimmering turquoise ocean and, before you know it, you’ll be playing with the stingrays at the Stingray City Sandbar.

When you’re in the shallow, crystal-clear water surrounded by these playful, friendly animals, you’ll soon realise why this is one of the most popular experiences for visitors to our island.

But there’s even more to this stingray tour in Grand Cayman! After spending time petting, holding, and even kissing the stingrays, we climb back aboard the boat and head to a coral reef teeming with life.

Here, you can enjoy some unforgettable snorkelling. Swimming on the surface while peering down at the underwater world is a truly breathtaking experience.

We provide all the snorkelling equipment you need as part of this Stingray City trip.

Back onboard the boat again, enjoy a cold drink from our cash bar before we return to Rum Point Dock.

If you prefer a sailing catamaran, check out our Stingray City Sandbar Sail or browse our wider range of Stingray City boat tours and find the perfect fit.
