Snorkeling Adventures with boating.ky
EXPLORE
the incredible underwater world of Grand Cayman with boating.ky’s private snorkeling charters — your front-row seat to crystal-clear waters, colorful reefs, and some of the Caribbean’s most famous marine encounters. Whether you’re new to snorkeling or a seasoned ocean lover, our experienced local captains will guide you to the best sites the island has to offer.
Stingray City — A Cayman Icon
No trip to Grand Cayman is complete without visiting Stingray City, where friendly southern stingrays glide gracefully through shallow, turquoise sandbars. Guests can stand or float alongside these gentle creatures in waist-deep water — a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s safe, exciting, and unforgettable for both kids and adults.
The USS Kittiwake — Grand Cayman’s Legendary Wreck
Dive (or snorkel) into history at the USS Kittiwake, one of the Caribbean’s most accessible wrecks. Resting in just 15–60 feet of water off Seven Mile Beach, this 251-foot former U.S. Navy ship is now a thriving artificial reef covered in coral and teeming with marine life. The Kittiwake offers crystal-clear visibility, making it perfect for snorkelers eager to glimpse tropical fish and sea turtles without needing dive certification.
The Inner and Outer Reefs
Boating.ky’s private charters can take you beyond the shore to Grand Cayman’s inner and outer reef systems, where coral gardens, sponges, and schooling reef fish create a living kaleidoscope beneath the surface. We often snorkel the southern inner reef, a calm, shallow area ideal for families and first-time snorkelers. In good weather, we cross to the outer reef, drifting along deeper coral formations where the colors intensify and marine encounters become truly spectacular.
Custom Snorkel Itineraries
Every boating.ky trip is private and tailored to your group. Combine multiple stops — like Starfish Point, Rum Point, and the Bioluminescent Bay — for a full-day ocean adventure. Our captains know the best times to visit each site for calm conditions, clear water, and fewer crowds, ensuring a relaxed and memorable day on the sea.
