Guest reviews of Half-Day Self-Captained Zodiac Rental in St. John
Rated 5.0 / 5 from 297 verified reviews.
We thoroughly enjoyed Scotty and 2 boat excursions with Wharfside Watersports! Our large New England family had a weeklong reunion on St. John. We had a blast! Our guide knew exactly what we needed: some snorkelling, a visit to Lyme Out, a sunset, circumnavigation of St. John. All with an ongoing tour guide spiel about the area. We loved the whole experience and would recommend it to anyone. Five
We had a great time being out in a boat on our own. Getting to make stops at places that you can’t get to by land and seeing the north shore beaches from the water, not just visiting them by car is well worth the cost and adventure! The guy’s did a great job explaining some navigation points and were available for any questions when needed. We did the whole day rental on one of the zodiac.
Wharfside far exceeded our expectations. Scotty the owner is a fantastic communicator and customer service individual. His side kick Paulie is great, knows his job and teaches the captains how to be safe! These guys are upfront, honest and just plain awesome. Well worth the visit and renting from them! See you guys again!
Rented a dinghy and it was awesome. Scotty and his team are incredible. They were willing to work with us if weather or sea conditions were rough. They pointed out a favorite beach of theirs and it might be the best beach we have visited. Only accessible by boat and it did not disappoint. We almost had the entire beach to ourselves. They were friendly, knowledgeable and really cool guys that made
