Stingray City Sandbar: Private Luxury Catamaran Charter

Slip into the warm, gin-clear shallows of the North Sound and swim alongside dozens of friendly southern stingrays at the world-famous Stingray City Sandbar — one of the most extraordinary wildlife encounters on the planet.

What to expect

A short catamaran ride across the turquoise North Sound delivers you to the legendary sandbar, where wild Atlantic southern stingrays circle your legs in knee-deep water. Expert guides place rays in your arms for that unforgettable photo moment, sharing the marine biology and lore behind these gentle giants. After the sandbar, most charters pause at a pristine snorkel site on the coral gardens. The boat is well-appointed with cold towels, fresh fruit and rum punch for the return.

Good to know

Georgetown tenders dock at the pier; Captain Marvin's dock is a short taxi ride away. Book the private charter well in advance — it sells out weeks ahead. Allow 3–4 hours total; check all-aboard time and confirm departure with the operator.
