Moby Dick or Captain Marvin's?

Recommended Posts

I am very prone to seasickness on any kind of boat (I am okay on a cruise ship). Do either of these operators operate a "better" boat to safeguard against this? On Moby Dick's web site they claim seasickness is not a problem. Has anyone gone on either of these boats and witnessed anyone being sick? I don't want to disappoint my fami;y and not go to see the stingrays so any advice would be helpful. Thank you. :confused: :confused:

We were in Caymans 12/11/07. We went out with Moby Dick this time (have used Captn Marvins in past). When we met the rep at the end of the pier, he advised us that it was very rough out on the water and were we sure we wanted to go. We told him yes and we did go out in the boat. Rough is NOT the word for it. We were soaked before we had been out 15 mins. My Sis in law did get sick on that one. Mostly it happened when they were jockeying the boat to back it up to the sandbar. I will say they tried to get people in the water but they were being thrown around on the ladders so they took us back to port ... complete refund. They were more concerned for the passenger safety than making a profit that day. Because of this, we will use them when we go in September this year. However, if they say it is rough out on the sandbar, believe me - we won't go out!

 

We were also complete satisfied with the trip with Captn Marvins as well. We say no one getting sick on this trip and the boats were approx. the same size.
