“This is "Must Do" for your vacation”

Fat Fish Adventures

Aug 10, 2008

My family spent 7 days in the Grand Cayman. We did a lot of exploring - - and Fat Fish Adventures won the prize for excitement. My husband, 8 year old, 10 year old, and my dad (and me) spent almost a full day with Peter. He took us to Sting Ray City. My kids were a little timid. He was so good with them. He told them exactly what to expect and explained why they are so friendly.

After that, we took off to Starfish City. Peter caught and let my kids hold these huge starfish.

We then snorkeled on a reef and then took off to Kaibo to eat lunch. The snorkeling was awesome and I loved the relaxed atmosphere at Kaibo.

Peter suggested that we take his jet ski along - in addition to his boat. I was a little worried about the kids. However, I drove them (3 fit easily) and they had a blast.

Peter is an awesome guide. He is friendly, knows his way around and gets along very well with the locals. He even told us where to find the real local food (and don't miss that either!).

We also booked a fishing trip. However, Peter called well in advance to let us know it would be rough and we may get sick. He checked in with us several times and let us make the call. I was very impressed with the fact that he gave us the warning.

I did not get to go fishing for Lobsters -- and hope to do that on the next trip.

We plan to go back to Grand Cayman and will spend at least a day (hopefully more) with Peter. He is top notch!!

We booked a boat trip for a group of seven to stingray city and the barrier reef. Peter met us promptly at Kaibo. He was fun, informative and friendly. We felt like we had excellent personal attention. He let us snorkel at the reef (best snorkeling we had all week!) for as long as we desired.

It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

We are frequent cruisers and have been to Grand Cayman many times. We weren't interested in snorkeling at the shipwreck fifty feet from the ship, or going to Stingray City. They are fun, but we've done them many times before. We ran across Fat Fish Adventures while looking for a jet boat rental (cause we like to go fast) and set up a private tour to go boating, snorkeling, and grab lunch away from the crowds. We met up with Peter, and he took us out for a great time! We enjoyed speeding along the open water, and visiting the mangroves. He also took us snorkeling in places that are too shallow for larger boats, so there was no one else there. It was so nice to have a knowledgeable person be able to tell us exactly what we were seeing. Peter was able to answer my husband's decade long question: Why don't you ever see lobster in the Caribbean? The answer was that we were looking in the wrong places. Peter took us to a spot where we saw tons of lobster. It was so cool! After snorkeling the morning away, we took the Sea Doo to a restaurant for crab fritters and other fantastic food. Peter is so laid back and fun! It felt like we were hanging out with a old friend. He tailored our trip to be exactly what we wanted to do, for as long as we wanted to do it. We will be returning to Grand Cayman in April 2009, and we will be hanging out with Peter and Fat Fish Adventures again!

“Great way to see Stingray City!!”

Fat Fish Adventures is a great way to see Stingray City.
We were a group of four and took to the water on jet skis.
Our guide Peter and Adian were great, they let us explore and get a real feel for the Waters, yet kept a close eye on us. Peter is filled with so much information and knows secret spots for fantastic snorkeling adventures.
I highly recommend Fat Fish Adventures.

“Peter Jervis is the best...”

When my wife found out I had booked a tour with Fat Fish instead of the usual "shore excusion" from our cruise ship on our stay in Grand Cayman, well, she was a bit skeptical to say the least. At the conclusion of the tour, she could not have asked for a better experience.

Fat Fish is run by Peter Jervis, Peter was waiting for us at the agreed upon location and promply headed out to purchase some Stingray food and oil for the boat ( a 24' center console). We originally wanted to do the jet ski or jet boats but Peter suggested this boat due to the age of our children. My two youngest have never seen the ocean before and Peter set them at ease right away, even allowing our 11 yo daughter to pilot the boat our to stingray city. What a blast for her.

When we got there, we could not believe our eyes. Crystal clear water, white sand bar, and not another boat around. As soon as Peter dropped anchor, ghostly figures start to appear in the water. Our kids, and my wife, were very apprehensive about getting in the water but Peter explained everything and what to expect. He knew most fo the rays by name and after calming our fears "caught" one and held it for us to pet. they were everywhere! He even caught one for me and caught "Frisbee" , a ray without a tail, for my wife to hold. What an experience. After feeding them and enjoying what seemed like two hours in the water, Peter took us Conch hunting on the bar. We were not envious of the cruise ship excursion boats with their 20 or 30 passengers that came up as were were leaving to go snorkeling.

Peter took us to a very beautiful place just off of rum point to do some snorkeling . Again what an experience for my kids.
All in all we all gave it two big thumbs up. Definately the highlight of our whole cruise experience. Great value for the dollar also. We hightly recomend this place and Peter!
