How to Choose
Pro Tips
Book early (especially May–August) – high demand for boats, especially double-deckers.
Safety first – most renters include a walkthrough and safety gear. Remember quiet-boating zones and speed rules near Shell Island.
Bring your gear – coolers, snacks, reef-safe sunscreen, and floaties.
Check add-ons – some include jet skis, slides, or guided tours; others allow BYO.
Let me know your group size, budget, or what you’re looking to do—whether it’s a family day cruise, fishing charter, or sunset tiki boat vibe—and I can help narrow it down or even help book!
