Great Day with Next Level Charters!

5.00Went out with my family, and it was a perfect day. We snorkeled and went to Starfish Point. Ben was very patient with my kids, as they had not snorkeled before. The equipment on the boat was great, as was Ben's knowledge of the island. For a day with the family, this is the tour to pick! Thanks again, Ben, for a memorable day.
The Highlight(s) Of Our Trip!

5.00We scheduled a charter with Captain Ben on the third day of our trip, and were immediately impressed with his expertise and hospitality-- so much so, that we scheduled a second charter later in the week! Of course we asked for the tourist basics- Stingray City, Starfish Point, and some snorkeling. My husband is an experienced diver and once Ben started sharing his prior experiences running live aboard trips, we felt at ease letting him curate an improved upon version of what we had in mind for the day. Instead ocompeting for the stingrays' attention at Stingray City with the other tourists, he took us to a spot where 5-6 stingrays will literally brush up against you like cats. The rays were as interested in us as we were in them the entirety of our time at this spot. The wind was not cooperating enough for our kids to snorkel for the first time at Rum Point, but Ben took us to another spot that was just as enjoyable for them. We finished the trip at Starfish Point, which was a great place to relax after snorkeling. We had some improved weather later in the week and really wanted to get to Rum Point to snorkel, so we booked a second trip the day before we left. This was the BEST snorkeling I've ever done. The water was crystal clear and we were surrounded by a couple of sea turtles and stingrays the entire time we were out there. The boat was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. My family and I will definitely be booking with Captain Ben on our next trip and would recommend him to anyone who wants to have an experience on the water to remember!
Best afternoon on the water!

5.00Ben is amazing! We had the best trip! He is knowledgeable and patient, especially since I was so nervous getting in the water with the stingrays. My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water!
The perfect choice for a young family

5.00Next Level Charters was the perfect choice for our two young children experiencing the stingrays for the first time. Ben took us to a lesser-known, private area where we could interact with some rays away from the chaos of Stingray City (we were literally the only people there for most of our visit). Afterwards we went to Starfish Point, which the kids also loved. The privacy and peacefulness of having our own boat was so much better for a young family than a crowded catamaran. Although everything in Cayman is expensive, they are significantly more reasonably priced than other options that we quoted, and well worth it for the experience. Highly recommend.
Private Boat Charter Grand Cayman

5.00We were a group of residents so did not need to do the tourist attractions. Captain Ben organised our trip around quieter calmer drop offs which is exactly what we needed. The boat was fully equipped and it was reassuring to know Captain Ben was fully qualified and had first aid training. Ben is very knowledgeable and despite the group doing several previous charters he was able to provide an unique experience for us all. Will definitely be using Next Level Charters in the future.
Nice day on the water

5.00we had a great day on the water yesterday with Ben. He was great with the stingrays, took us to the nicest snorkeling spots we’ve been to in 8 years of coming here and was enjoyable as a captain. He is a licensed captain and his boat is well maintained and was great for our group.

5.00The concierge at the Kimpton Seafire found us this charter and we are so grateful! We had the best day with Ben on his beautiful boat. We went to Stingray City first and Ben familiarized us with the rays and how to handle them. He's a stingray whisperer! We had experienced some subpar snorkeling on our trip so he brought us to a spot teeming with sealife. We even had close encounters with a couple of friendly green sea turtles! During the visit to Starfish Point, we learned facts about the starfish and safely handled them. On the way back, we took a detour through the mangroves where once again Ben was full of information about the mangroves and their importance to the island. Ben was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We enjoyed his company as much as we did the activities, especially in sharing our MA connections. You won't regret booking this private experience with Next Level Charters! Highly recommended!
