Arrived for one day on a cruise and booked a half day private charter with Captain Cachas “SuperC” Stewart. Had a fantastic day which he customized to our wishes. Perfect activity for anyone in port on a cruise or staying on the island for a visit.
Transportation was easy. Caught a taxi upon arrival at port on a tender. $28 for a private taxi (don’t wait for the $6 shared ride). About a 15 minute drive. When we returned, C had a taxi waiting for us at the yacht club to take us back ($32).
As for the trip, it was a fully customized, phenomenal experience. We started at Sting Ray City to pet and feed the Sting Rays. C was able to get one and brought it over to us to play with on our own. Very different from the large tour groups who had to try to get an experience on their own, but mostly watched.
Then we went to Starfish Point where we saw some starfish; then on to the Coral Garden where it felt like we were snorkeling in an aquarium. C dropped chum over the side where we were floating and the fish and sting rays swarmed around us.
Finally, ended the day doing some bottom fishing for grunts and snapper using simple squid on a hook. Wife caught about 8 fish, and it seemed like she was pulling one up on every cast. Then C dove for a couple conch which he proceeded to crack. He gave us the shell as a souvenir, but unfortunately it was confiscated by the cruise ship crew when we boarded (they do not allow fresh shells on board, only processed ones from the gift shops).
If you are a family of 4-6, it is a great experience, especially for kids. Way better than the group tours, and depending on the size of your group, it is less expensive than taking a cruise excursion. If you make the effort to get off the ship early, you will beat all the crowds to the great spots.
C knows all the great places and customizes the trip to what you want to do and how long you want to spend at each location. He also knows all the local tour guides and works with them to make sure you get a great spot at each of the locations.
Don’t hesitate signing up with SuperC!
