Flythrower Posted December 26, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Does anyone know if you can rent a personal boat in Barbados? If so, can you post a link to a website? Thanks, Marty and Tara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted December 26, 2009 #2 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'm fairly sure that, due to local legalities, the closest thing to a boat that you can rent is a JetSki -the reason being that a JetSki is not classified as a boat. For a speedboat, you need a license. As long as you hold a valid Barbados-issued Speedboat Operator's license then you are legal to drive a boat -but there's little chance of quickly finding one to rent even if you did because there is no business to be done -it's all jetskis!

Aplmac Posted December 27, 2009 #4 Share Posted December 27, 2009 What beach is this is St. Maarten? That's the big beach at Philipsburg, right where the cruise ships dock. The correct name is (I believe) Great Bay and getting to it is as simple as taking the Water Taxi from the base of the pier over to where it drops you off at the mid-town stop at Philipsburg right here somewhere.. .
