Motorboat Rentals

A boat gives you the freedom to travel easily and quickly from one island to another, and a motorboat means you can do it quickly. Renting a boat is a good way for experienced boaters to chart their own course for a day or more. It’s not cheap, though; powerboats go for $200 and up for a day’s rental, excluding fuel. Expect to pay twice that, at least, if you need a skipper.
