Our bareboat rental option allows you to captain the vessel if you meet the necessary experience and certification requirements. Otherwise, we can arrange a professional captain for a fully crewed charter.

A: We offer a variety of vessels, including power boats, RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats), and luxury catamarans. Each ship is designed for different group sizes and purposes—ask us for recommendations based on your trip plans and number of passengers.

A: We offer half-day and full-day charters; longer-term charters are available upon request. If you’re looking for multi-day rentals, just let us know, and we’ll tailor a package to suit your itinerary. Bareboat rentals are full day prices only, we don’t have a half day price. The half day prices are for day charters with a captain only.

A: Our rentals typically include life vests, coolers, and safety gear. Fuel costs may be additional, depending on your package. We’ll discuss any extras (e.g., snorkel gear) during the booking process. 

A: Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring snacks, meals, and beverages (including alcohol for those of legal drinking age). We recommend using our built-in coolers or bringing your cooler with ice to keep items chilled.

A: Yes, families are welcome. Child-size life jackets are available upon request. Please notify us if you have children at your party so we can ensure a safe and comfortable trip.

A: Safety is our top priority. In cases of severe weather, we may reschedule or cancel the rental. We will discuss the forecast with you in advance and work on the best solution, whether a change of date or a full refund, depending on the situation. Bad weather is only a refundable day if we decide to not allow the boats to go out. If you decide the weather is too bad to go but we say its fine, you may try to change the date but we don’t give refund if you think the weather is bad.

A: Reservations can be made online, by phone, or in person. Our cancellation policy may offer a full or partial refund if you cancel within a certain timeframe. Please see our terms and conditions or contact us for details on the specific policy. The security deposit is for damage to the boats. No booking is secure until all paperwork are completed and returned.

A: Yes! We’re happy to help you create a custom itinerary for your day on the water—whether you want to visit nearby islands, snorkel at prime spots, or cruise along scenic coastlines. If you prefer a guided experience, let us know, and we can arrange a local captain who knows the best routes and hidden gems.
