Our Story
Stingray City Tours...interaction with stingrays and snorkelling on barrier reef. Our company has been in operation for over 16 yrs now and during this time our aim is to provide the best possible stingray interaction. In 2003 Moby Dick was born she is a completely recycled boat whereby we took a California hull known for it’s durability, strength and stability. Rescued from a boat yard in Roatan, it was perilously towed over by a fishing boat “Lady Michele” only just making the crossing in gale force winds. It was then transported to the Harbour house marina where it was nick named “the big white whale” because of its large bow. It wasn’t till we finished fitting her out using another boat we bought for it’s engine and running gear that we decided on the name, Moby Dick tours for our company. At the last minute and with no money left we commissioned an artist to paint the outline of a whale on the side of the boat. She has proved to be an excellent platform and her bespoke design all on one level with a huge swim platform and giant ladders, easy accessible bathroom, 2/3 boat in the shade is perfect for families with mixed abilities. My business partner Richard has over the years come up with some amazing storage ideas which provide easy access to snorkel equipment and life vests. The bathroom is airy and roomy and had many upgrades over the years providing a new aluminium door and new Aluminium non slip steps. For those of you who have ever owned boats maintenance is important to keep on top of things before they drop off. So it’s alway’s an ongoing upgrading and replacement project to prevent surprise breakdowns.
Recently a new waterproof canopy has been fitted and we are looking forward to a busy and enjoyable high season. Where we can make lot’s of special memories for people that will stay in there hearts for a lifetime. Looking forward to you all coming on board.
We recently started a proper island tour, strangely no one really does one. It’s growing in popularity and is the only way to see the whole island without renting a car. Go in comfort and learn about Caymans past, present and future. We visit Rum Point, Starfish point, East end via queens highway, blow holes, and smith cove. About 5hrs including delicious Lunch.
all the best from company owners Mark & Richard 🐳
