J-22 Private Stingray City Tour

the calm waters of Grand Cayman on our J-22 is an experience you will never forget.  This private charter will take your group of up to 5 passengers to the calm waters of the North Sound in the privacy and comfort of your own sailboat.  Captained by a season sailing veteran, (His roster of expertise and racing regattas is too ample to list) John Michael will take you to areas inaccessible by the average vessel with the flexibility of having your own sailboat in the Grand Cayman Islands. 

This excursion offers the very best of Grand Cayman by combining sailing to the World Famous Stingray City Sandbar along pristine mangroves, to fantastic beach stops along the way.  This Cayman Sailing Excursion, being a private charter, will add plenty of flexibility to your itinerary by enabling you to choose how much time you would like to stay at the Stingray City Sandbar, how much time you would like to stay at the beach instead, or to simply sail all over the pristine Mangrove Grand Cayman has to offer while exploring for wildlife, Turtles, enjoy a little fishing and more!

The Stingray City Sandbar in Grand Cayman is by far the most popular location when it comes to encountering marine creatures, the interaction is truly unique.  The Sandbar is barely 3ft deep offering numerous Southern Stingrays eager to interact with passengers standing on this beautiful underwater beach (or is is the food they really want)  At Stingray City you will be feeding, petting and interacting with Southern Stingrays for approximately 30 minutes before sailing back to the deserted beaches of Rum Point and Cayman Kai.

Following a short sail back from Stingray City you will arrive at Starfish Beach, a deserted picturesque location at the tip of the Island where you will find millions of shells on the beach and starfish in barely 3ft of water (The Starfish are not for the taking, pictures only please)   Catch some rays and enjoy the beach in preparation for your mangrove exploration.

The way back to the staring point of your sailing excursion will take you through Booby Key, a protected area in Grand Cayman famous for it's wildlife.  This area is where large flocks of tropical birds are found as well as a mating area for Sea Turtles.

Whether you are a season sailor or a beginner this excursion will be equally enjoyable.  For avid sailors it will give you the chance to sail at your heart's content.  For beginner sailors it will be the sailing lesson you will never forget. 

J-22's are considered World Class Racing Vessels, a pocket racer if you will.  They are responsive, stable with its fixed lead keel and safe, as much fun to single-hand with the main sail only as it is to plane under spinnaker in 18 knots of wind.  This excursion will take you away from the everyday and appeals to all ages and skill levels. With this brand new excursion you can have world class speed and admire amazing wild life all in one.  J-22's are widely used for the famous Rolex International Regattas® and are considered "true racers" which can be easily sailed by non-pros. (The Charter is Captained by a seasoned veteran and instructor) 

Your Capt. and personal Guide, John Michael Stafford, with over 20yrs experience on J-22's, (from 22ft to 46ft J-Class Vessels) has avidly competed in many World Class Regattas, including the Pan American Games, World Championships in the USA (FL, TX, MD to name a few locations) Europe, Jamaica as well as the prestigious 1998 Summer Olympics for the Cayman Islands.
