Ten Signs You Are Meant To Live In The Caribbean

December 17, 2017Bonnartt1No CommentsCaptain's Blog

Just under half the population of the Cayman Islands is made up of expats, they come from all over to live the Caribbean lifestyle and work in a place most people only visit on vacation. Could you be suited to island life? Here are Crystal Charters top ten signs that you are meant to live in the Caribbean.

1. You Can’t Stand The Cold

Summer is definitely your favourite season, the only good things about Winter are the Holidays and hot chocolate.

2. Your Instagram Feed is Full of Beautiful Beaches

You are always dreaming of the beach and there is no prettier view than a white sandy beach and the sparkling Caribbean Sea.

3. Your Favorite Color is Ocean

Nothing beats the azure blue color of the Ocean you could stare at it all day.

4. You Know How to Scuba Dive or Have Always Wanted to Learn

Its a whole other World down there!

5. You Like Socializing

Island life is small time, everyone knows everybody and everything so be ready to socialize!

6. Happy Hour Drinks are Your Other Hobbies

When its time for that gorgeous sunset you better be watching it with a drink in one hand, happy hour is every day of the week here!

7. Material Things aren’t Everything

Living on an island can be expensive, it can also be limiting in what is available to you but if you like to live frugally this is definitely the way to do it!

8. You Love to Dance

Soca music is the heartbeat of the Caribbean and dancing is inevitable…

9. You Have No Fashion Sense

Flip-flops, shorts and a top…. check!

10. You are Reading This!

Chances are if you are reading this post you already know deep down that moving here is something you want to do

If moving to the Caribbean isn’t on the cards just yet then let us give you a little taste of the lifestyle on one of our private charters, contact us today to make a booking!

We had a wonderful day snorkeling, and hanging out with the stingrays and starfish. Crystal Charters was very helpful making sure we selected the right boat for our party of 13, and the crew onboard... were very knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely book again with Crystal Charters!read more

River at Crystal Charters did a fantastic job working with us and getting our charter set up on relatively short notice. His level of customer service and follow through is somewhat of a rarity these... days. I really appreciate all he did.Our charter day was one the tops of the vacation. Capt Chris took us to stingray city, starfish point, the mangroves, and snorkeling. He even went out, found a couple conch and made the best ceviche. After the tour he called our cab on the way back into the marina so our ride was ready and waiting to take us back to the ship.This charter included full professional service from start to finish including a follow up by River to be sure we enjoyed our tour.If you are searching for a reliable charter with lots of opportunities for fun, Crystal Charters is your one stop shop!read more

We booked a four hour excursion for our Grand Cayman port day while on a cruise. Cruise life has a lot of people on it, so booking a private boat was absolutely perfect and needed! Vernon was our... guide and he was a gem! He was very flexible with our excursion and is an excellent boat captain. He went out of his way to make sure our kids felt comfortable and got good experiences with the stingrays. Other boats were looking at what he was providing us with jealousy. He was very knowledgeable and very kind talking about Grand Cayman and the people on the island. Definitely would recommend if looking for a private excursion not linked to the cruise. Super easy to coordinate with booking, and super easy to get to with the taxis at the port. The four hour excursion was perfect for a taste of the island.read more

Wonderful! We booked a 4 hour snorkel trip for 6 adults out of Rum Point and had an amazing afternoon. Captain Vernon took us to the coral gardens, coral reef, stingray city, and for a jump in the... deep blue. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional and helped design a tour to meet our needs. He was also conservation-oriented and seemed to really care about the health of the reef. He also surprised us with fresh fruit and made ceviche on the boat. My friends and I have snorkeled quite a bit in the Caribbean, but this was our first time in Grand Cayman. We were pleasantly surprised to see such a healthy coral reef with a diversity of marine life. Definitely recommend this trip and Captain Vernon!read more

I would like to share our AMAZING experience on Jan 1. We took a 5 hour charter on the 26th Sea Fox with Captain Ozmond (Ozzie) and his first hand Joseph. Ozzie and Joseph kept us very safe and made... the entire trip enjoyable. We were able to snorkel in 3 different locations- Ozzie showed us the different highlights. Once on boat Ozzie showed a chart about the different fish. Ozzie made certain we experienced all the activities we requested: Stingray City, Starfish Point, sunset on the water and Bioluminescense Bay. We enjoyed dinner at Rum Point at Kaibo. Everything about the charter was spectacular and quite memorable.read more

Best snorkeling experience I have had yet. The must see places around Grand Cayman were included in our 3 hour trip and it seemed to be the right amount of time to experience the area. The crew was... fun and entertaining. Highly recommend Crystal Charter.read more
