Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
Is it safe for a novice to take a boat
out?
A. Yes it is. The boats are designed to be easy to
control and there are very few obstacles to have to worry
about. We give you a thorough check out on the boats'
controls, a complete briefing with a chart of the local area
and a weather forecast to the best of our ability before you leave
the dock. If you're confident, that's the key.
Q.
Will we get lost?
A. Lost - adj. (1) strayed or missing (2) no longer
visible. No, you won't get "lost" but might get a
little disoriented at times. Especially on those days when
you set out to find that cool little island you've heard of or
that snorkeling spot someone recommended to you. But with a
little patience you will find your way and no you won't end up on
"Gilligan's Island". This is not a concern at all.
Q.
Do we have enough gas for today?
A. Your boat will be full of gas at the beginning of your
rental, and that will be sufficient for a full day of
boating. Most of our boats have large (60 gallons or more)
gas tanks, and refueling is usually only necessary after several
days on the water. However you should always check the gas
gauge before leaving the dock. Vigilance is the ticket here.
Q.
Are there docks to tie up to on all
the islands?
A. Dockage is not a problem anywhere. All towns have
public docks, not always as well marked as the "private"
docks, but they are there for your use. Docks are like
parking lots, every waterfront business has one. The docks
with a prominent private sign and only one boat tied to it are the
ones to avoid. You'll see which docks are getting the
traffic.
Q.
How do I decide which boat is best for
my needs and make a reservation?
A. In the initial stages of deciding on the best boat for
your group, feel free to email us with specific questions and we
will be happy to answer them for you. Be aware that we do
not answer email everyday. When it is time to make a
reservation we ask that you use our secure
reservation form or phone us at (242)367-2513.
