JohninDC Posted April 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2011 We've used Moby Dick twice now - the last time was one week ago - and were impressed both times with the service and overall experieince but I doubt you will go wrong with either Moby or Capt M. The cruiseline package is expensive and crowded, but you will get priority on the tenders which is important if your time in GC is short. We were on Inspiration and in GC from 8-3, but with the lines it took us until almost 10 to get off the tender at the pier and we were back in line at 1:30 immediately after our tour -- not even time for a cold Cay-Brew beer! :( Good luck!

krissim9 Posted April 27, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2011 We've used Captain Marvins three different times now and have had great experiences every single time. I have never used the other operators, but would highly recommend Captain Marvins. Krissi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister exec Posted May 15, 2011 #6 Share Posted May 15, 2011 My wife went on Capt Marvin's last month. Everything was very nice, except they didn't have enough fish for everyone to feed the stingrays and if you got some, it was just one piece. It was disappointing.

deadmoney Posted May 17, 2011 #8 Share Posted May 17, 2011 We went with Moby Dick last week and I can't say enough about how good they were. We even kissed a stingray for good luck ON FRIDAY THE 13TH:eek: You will be glad you chose them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
going2cruz Posted May 17, 2011 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Anyone ever book a stingray tour where you go by Catamaran? I love excursion that use them opposed to boats. I'm going in July and would prefer a Catamaran? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Kat Posted May 28, 2011 #11 Share Posted May 28, 2011 We used Nativeways for their Reef, Rays & RumPoint tour. Very nice. I would encourage you to book privately - the cruise ship excursions can be very crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreezingInMichigan Posted May 31, 2011 #15 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Anyone ever book a stingray tour where you go by Catamaran? I love excursion that use them opposed to boats. I'm going in July and would prefer a Catamaran? We went with Capt Mark aboard the Far Tortuga, a 43' cat. He only takes a max of 29 people. Great personalized service. We'd go with him again in a heartbeat. www.stingraysailing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi7081 Posted June 2, 2011 #16 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We went with Moby Dick's. Only had 15 people on the tour with three guides. They educated us on the stingrays on the way out. Had a great time. Don't forget to kiss the stingrays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
