Clear Boat Tours FAQs
Group Tours vs. Private Charters
When booking your clear boat tour, you can choose between a shared group tour or a private charter. Group tours are a great option for meeting new people and enjoying the experience at a lower cost. If you prefer a more personalized outing with just your family or friends, a private charter offers exclusive access to the boat and allows for more flexibility in where you go and what you see.
Both options provide stunning views and the same high-quality experience on the water. For an additional price, we also provide professional clear boat pictures so you can have a memorable keepsake to take home with you.
What to Bring
Here’s a list of recommended items to bring for your clear boat tour:
Sunglasses and sunscreen
Hat or visor for sun protection
Reusable water bottle
Towel (especially for private charters that may include swim stops)
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Camera or smartphone for photos
Light, comfortable clothing
Flip-flops or water shoes
A small bag to keep personal items secure
Snacks (optional, especially for kids)
Note that lunch and beverages — aside from bottled water — will not be provided.
What’s included in the price?
Your booking includes the full 75-minute clear boat tour to view parts of the Cayman Island coast. It also includes a complimentary bottle of water served onboard to keep you refreshed.
While not included in the base price, guests also have the option to purchase professional photography at the end of the trip for an additional price. These clear boat photoshoots are typically taken on the front bow with the crystal clear turquoise waters beneath for a stunning keepsake.
Are clear boats safe?
Yes, our clear boats are completely safe. Here at Cayman Clear Boats, we use high-quality, professionally designed, clear-bottom boats built to handle the calm waters around the Cayman Islands. Each tour is led by a trained and experienced guide who prioritizes your safety from start to finish. We also follow all local regulations and conduct regular inspections to ensure our boats operate safely and smoothly.
Can I bring children?
Of course! Children are welcome to board our clear boat tours, and the experience is suitable for most ages. The calm waters of Grace Bay make the ride smooth and enjoyable, and kids love spotting marine life through the transparent floor. However, we recommend that young children be accompanied by an adult at all times for safety and comfort.
If your child is 9 years old or younger, the price is reduced to $55 for the public clear boat tour. If they are 2 years or younger, they may ride completely free!
How many people can fit on the boat?
Our boats can comfortably accommodate up to 15 passengers and 2 crew members. Our private clear boat rental package is limited to 8 guests, but additional guests (up to 15) can be added for the price of a public clear boat ticket!
Do I need to know how to swim?
No, you do not need to know how to swim to enjoy our clear boat tours. The entire experience takes place onboard, so you can comfortably view marine life and stunning scenery without ever entering the water.
Our boats are stable and guided by experienced crew members to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride for all guests.
Cancellation Policy and Weather Conditions
At Cayman Clear Boats, we do our best to operate with flexibility, but once your booking is confirmed, that boat is reserved specifically for your group.
Cancellations made 72 hours or more in advance are eligible for a full refund.
Cancellations made within 48 hours of your trip are eligible for a 50% refund.
Cancellations made 24 hours or less before your tour are non-refundable.
Of course, we know that Caribbean weather and waves can be unpredictable. If the captain determines that conditions are unsafe, we’ll offer a full refund or reschedule your tour based on availability. Your safety and experience matter most, and we want your day on the water to be unforgettable for the right reasons. As a small business, we appreciate your understanding and patience.
