Hi everyone,
Sorry but I had to use that name (Still winter here) but my real name is Dave.
We are coming out next month and would like to rent a small boat or a couple wave runners to hop from beach to beach just for the day. All I can find is a 26' boat for about $275 for a half day. Wave runners would make it easy to beach but I can't find any of them. We have no intentions on going out from the islands in deeper water except between St Thomas and St. John. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance........ 🙂

Jet Skiis are around $50.00/half hr, they're available across the road from Coki Beach. Boat: I can tell you where to rent a 22ft for $265.00 base rate for a full day.

Sounds good, Where? The jet skis would be too expensive and there is four of us.
We only want something small with decent speed. Anyone know if there is any restrictions on beaching a boat at St. John (park areas)?
My friends brother lives there but I haven't got a hold of him yet so I don't know what he will be up to when we show up..... he lives on his boat.

Your best bet to do what you want to is to go to St. John and rent a dinghy for the day . Noah's Little Arks is located in fronnt of the beach bar at Wharside. You can rent a Zodiac from them for about $60 for the day, comes complete with ice chest with ice! I believe you can beach those Zodiacs on certain beaches. I am sure they will tell you which ones.

Thanks ronnie, I'll need to keep that in mind. Aren't zodiacs more of a sailing boat?
I was thinking that with my limited time I wanted something a little faster to see more.
Maybe I'm wrong....
