ilovetotravel1977 Posted October 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I found a couple of sting ray tours on NCL's excursion site. One he is promoting a motor cruiser ($49 for 2.5 hours) and the other a catamaran ($69 for 3 hours). Charging more just because of the catamaran?

drew sailbum Posted October 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Captain Marvin Ebanks is well into his 90s. His hair is grey. You can seen his photo accompanying this newspaper article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mitsugirly Posted October 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I really doubt any of the private tour companies that strive on cruisers to take THEIR tour instead of the cruiseline tour, would be promoting anything on a cruiseline site. Just saying... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew sailbum Posted January 3, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 3, 2015 As this was a thread about Capt Marvin, the man, I thought it the best place to post news of his passing. Capt Marvin died late in December 2014 at the age of 98. His funeral is today. He was truly a legend in the Cayman watersports community. The business bearing his name will continue to serve the island's residents and the many visitors to the Cayman Islands. Indeed in the days after Capt Marvin's passing his company hosted former US President Jimmy Carter on a trip to the stingrays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching some type of show on him and his business and how he was still going out with tours here and there even at his age. What a fulfilling life he lead. You could tell he took great pride in his company. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
