Unforgettable Cayman Islands Adventure with Derron and Yannik!
Just back from an absolutely fantastic fishing trip in the Cayman Islands, and I have to give a massive shoutout to Derron Kelly and his amazing assistant, Yannik! From start to finish, this was an experience that exceeded all expectations.
We booked a half -day excursion hoping for some great fishing, and Derron certainly delivered. His knowledge of the local waters is incredible. He knew exactly where to take us to find the fish, and his expert guidance on techniques and bait ensured we had lines in the water constantly. Derron and Yannik were both incredibly patient and helpful, offering tips and encouragement throughout the fishing session – perfect for both experienced anglers and those newer to the sport.
But the adventure didn’t stop there! Derron and Yannik then took us to the world-famous Stingray City. This was an absolute highlight. Getting up close and personal with these gentle giants was an unforgettable experience. Derron and Yannik handled the stingrays with such care and respect, making us feel completely safe and comfortable during the interaction. They shared interesting facts about the stingrays, adding an educational element to the fun.
And if that wasn’t enough, the final part of our trip was dedicated to conch diving. This was something truly unique and special. Derron dive down and got 10 conch shells for us to take to the restaurant for them to prepare for us.Derron then expertly cleaned and prepared some of the conch for us to enjoy fresh – a true taste of the Cayman Islands!
Throughout the entire day, Derron and Yannik were professional, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their boat was well-maintained and equipped, and they ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable day on the water. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience.
If you’re looking for a fishing charter in the Cayman Islands that offers more than just fishing, look no further than Derron Kelly and Yannik. Their combined expertise, coupled with their genuine hospitality and the incredible addition of Stingray City and conch diving, makes for an unparalleled Cayman adventure.

Perfect trip for a family. The crew was super attentive, always helping my 12 year old. They mixed in some time trolling for larger snapper, but spent most of the time reef fishing in a number of different spots. They put us on some good bites. And they fileted the fish when we got back and brought it to Morgan’s to cook for us. Really great way to spend an afternoon on vacation, and a better price than I could find with other charters.

We enjoyed our fishing charter! Captain and boat were family friendly. We went to a few different spots to fish.  The boat was clean and in good condition. And captain had all of the rods, bait, etc to make for a fun day on the water.  Highly recommend!

Thank you to Captain Derron and mate Yannick for a great morning of reef fishing.  My husband and I wanted an experience “on the water” while in Grand Cayman, and we hoped to catch a few fish too.  Our trip checked both boxes, and we appreciated Derron’s expertise and patience.  We would recommend this trip to anyone.

Derren had great communication before the trip and gave us a great charter. He worked hard to get us fish on the line even though the bites were sparse. He moved us around the bay and my son caught several fish. When we got back to the dock he prepared some filets for us to take home for dinner. Great experience, Great crew, Great time!
