    What Makes St. John Boat Rentals Special?

    Your Own Schedule

    No itinerary, no group — explore at your own pace and choose your own stops.

    Multiple Vessel Types

    Choose from dinghies, center consoles, pontoon boats, and more depending on your needs.

    Hidden Coves

    Access beaches and snorkel spots that are impossible to reach by land.

    Captained Options

    Not comfortable driving? Add a captain to any rental for a guided experience.

    What You Need to Know

    • Boat rentals are available for half-day and full-day periods.
    • Self-drive rentals may require a boating license or experience — check with the operator.
    • Captained rentals include a professional captain who knows the best spots.
    • Fuel, snorkel gear, and coolers are often included or available as add-ons.
    • Most rentals depart from Cruz Bay or Coral Bay marinas.

    Pro Tips from the Locals

    💡Book at least a day in advance — especially during peak season (December–April).

    💡Bring your own snorkel gear for the best fit, or confirm gear is included in your rental.

    💡Ask about fuel policies — some rentals include fuel, others charge separately.

    💡If you're not experienced, opt for a captained rental — the captain knows the best spots and safest routes.

    💡Download offline maps — cell service can be spotty around St. John's east end.
