The difference between a private charter or tour and a boat rental is that there will be no crew or provisions which gives you the freedom to customise your boat trip into your own personal adventure.

While there are plenty of charter companies that offer private boat trips, there is only one company in Cayman that offers boat rentals.
Boats are available for rent by day or multiple days depending on the duration of your trip and activities that you have planned.
Boats can only be rented over multiple days if you are staying at a vacation rental home, villa or condo that has a dock or place to moor the boat safely.
If you want to rent a sailing dinghy, Laser or Pico, then a great option is to contact the Cayman Islands Sailing Club.
Cayman Boat Rentals is a boutique service offering the exclusivity of renting your own boat, jet skis or a variety of nonmotorised watersports toys and add-ons for the boats, without the hassle of boat ownership.
Blue Haven Charters offer tours around the Island
Private Boat Charters
However, it may be that initially, you'd prefer not to navigate through waters you are unfamiliar with. As an island nation, there are a multitude of options for taking advantage of private charters with an experienced captain and crew. With them ready on board to show you around the marine environment of your new home, it won't be long before you become more familiar and gain the confidence to go out on your own.

Game fishing in Cayman is very popular. Species such as the Blue Marlin can be found in local waters
Charter a Fishing Boat
Whilst it is called fishing and not catching, a grand variety of tropical reef and game fish are common in Cayman with in-shore, off-shore and deep sea fishing options accessible enough to warrant your time in an attempt to bring something home for supper. Snapper, Wahoo, Tuna, Mahi Mahi and Blue Marlin are just some of the species anglers can expect to come up against.
Cayman has several private charter boats that can get you out on the water for half a day or a full day's fishing. And yes, the captains know where the fish are. They can teach you, so by the time you get your own boat you'll be an old sea dog. Click here for more information.
