Stingray City Trips - Vacation in the Caribbean

Further from the shoreline of Grand Cayman Island, in the edge rich slender bathwaters of the North Sound, you'll find a truly unique night investigation for your family unit excursion in the Caribbean, in the splendid green-blue seawaters of the shocking Stingray City.

Social event to the underwater adventure

Back in the years 1970's, this area has been gathered with establishments of average stingrays. Once in the past spoke to the region to enjoy on the superfluous fish remainders from anglers securing down to wash their catch, years of preparing - and the conspicuous resonation of motors in the quarter - has created an unfaltering tenants of stingrays here to take advantage of the relaxed support. These days, engine fueled cabin vessels and glass base yachts pass on crowds of endeavor - seekers consistently to Stingray City to bathe and snorkel with these giant cool mammoths.

The area is regarded by parts to be one of the finest areas on earth for snorkeling and with a normal troop measure of 30 people; you'll be savoring an impeccable snorkeling contribution while being completely detached from the multitudes. There are a few endeavors that propose customary excursions out to Stingray Town and almost all touch base with splendid assessments. The groups who take you out and supply you with all the mandate and obliged outfit are basically indistinguishable to the people of Grand Cayman Island, generous and exceptionally agreeable.

Calming in the remote: a revitalizing departure

The marine here is low to the point that you don't need to be an adroit snorkeler - or even an expert jumper - to have delight, and the exquisite waters of the North Resonance are so mineral clear that you can see the regal stingrays sliding through the zone without actually leaving the vessel!

When you're considering, "Swimming with stingrays, are you loopy?" There's nothing to fear. In spite of the fact that their name sounds awful, their identities are agreeable and loose. The vast majority are naturally a bit uncomfortable to hop in waters swarming with enormous stingrays, from the beginning. That is the place the excursion is accessible in! Once you're taking that jump into the Caribbean Sea, you may find that after essentially a short while inside the waters connecting with and bolstering these thoughtful creatures, you may be totally calm and having sufficient energy of your life!

Capture your brush with the stingrays during your family holiday to the Caribbean

Keep in mind your cams. The perspectives from the pontoon - of both the perfect Grand Cayman shoreline and the sea creatures underneath the waters - are stunning and when you take off inside the water, you have to get no less than one picture planting a kiss on an inquisitive stingray city.

Let us start with a little bit about the Cayman Islands and why we are so blessed to have an abundant, all-year-round fish population.Our "dear verdant island, set in blue Caribbean sea..." as sung in the National Song is situated in the western Caribbean sea at the peak of an underwater ridge known as the Cayman Ridge. The ridge flanks the Cayman Trough some 6,000 m (20,000 ft) deep which lies 6km (3.7 mi) to the south and just a few hundred yards off the coast of Grand Cayman, the reefs go as deep as 800 feet so if you are into fishing come prepared to pull in blue marlin, wahoo, mahi-mahi, tuna, and barracuda without having to go very far.

The Cayman Islands are a true fisherman's paradise with marlin, tuna, wahoo, mahi mahi, swordfish and shark found in abundance all year round. We do not have “low season” for fishing in the Cayman Islands although a few types of fish are more visible in certains months. Plan your trip at your convenience, with half- and full-day fishing trips available daily no matter the time of year. Warm weather all 12 months means you can take to the seas anytime.

Deep Sea Fishing

A full-day trip can take you to the Cayman Islands Banks. This famous location, 12 miles offshore, offers big catches of wahoo, mahi mahi and tuna. The Cayman Banks are coral pinnacles, which are found in the middle of the sea, rising from 10,000 feet of water to barely 40 feet beneath the surface. This deep-sea experience is a fisherman's dream.

Deep Sea Fishing

Get ready to easily find grouper, snapper, and jacks, just a few hundred feet from shore. Reef fishing charters are most often scheduled as half-day charters (8 AM until 12 noon, and 1-5 PM) but if you like we can extend it to a full day for you.

The tradition in Grand Cayman is that 1/3 of the catch (or an edible amount, whichever is smaller) goes to those fishing, and 2/3 of the catch goes to the boat. Our crew will be happy to filet the fish for you.

As a fisherman you know a catch is not always guaranteed, but with our highly experienced local captains you sure stand a higher chancesof telling your own story.

Cayman Seabob

What is the Seabob?

Watching dolphins in motion can be a very uplifting experience as they move ever so gracefully through the water. If you love diving and want to traverse the vast underwater world just like how dolphins do, perhaps the SeaBob device is your cup of tea. The spawn between a jet-ski and a bodyboard, the SeaBob enables you to leap through waves or turn downward and head for the ocean floor (or up till where your body can take it) with enough speed, grace, and agility to make you perform at Seaworld performances.

The SeaBob has definitely created a niche in the recreational vehicle market by being one of its kind at the moment. Its entire body is made from hydrodynamic plastic, and your thumb controls the accelerator sensor. An electric impeller jet motor tugs you forward gently at first, but when you open full throttle, it is capable of pulling you through at speeds of up to 15km/h. While this idea sound great in theory, I do have my apprehensions since it might be too fast for some, and should you go down too deep and lose control of the SeaBob, what’s going to happen to you?

Visit our website @ http://caymanprivatecharters.com for further info on Best Stingray City Tours.

You steer the SeaBob by shifting your bodyweight around while your legs act like the tail of a fast fish. Designed in Germany, the SeaBob comes with an LCD cockpit display that shows various information such as engine power, remaining operating time (essential since you would like to get back to the surface with the SeaBob, don’t you?) charge state, water temperature, and a depth gauge. The SeaBob can be adjusted to go up to 40 metres, but the standard setting shuts off the engine if you go deeper than 2.5 metres. Just make sure you know where you’re headed, as colliding with a rock or a jet ski ain’t gonna be a pretty sight.

Stingray city trips

In Grand Cayman the Stingrays Swim with divers and snorkelers as they have grown accustomed to being fed, held and caressed by humans. Most of the local Stingray handlers will teach you how to pet them, feed them squid, hold them and kiss them.

Our captain Arthur will give you a "famous" stingray back or full body massage as careful as possible to avoid the abuse of the creatures..

Stingrays are usually docile and curious, their usual reaction is fleeing at any disturbance.


TIPS FOR FEEDING THE STINGRAYS

1. Hold the squid in a upright position with 2/3 of it sticking out of your loosely clenched fist as in the picture above!

2. Put the squid directly underneath the Stingray directly below the eyes where the mouth is located.

3. Remember to release the squid when you feel the Stingray' suction
