Recent Bermuda travelers....cash only in port?

[cruisin07family]

I've read a few reviews that have mentioned cash only for renting chairs & umbrellas at the beaches, for lunches ashore, buying transportation passes, etc. For expensive things as well like renting jet skis or a boat I will need cash? I'm trying to figure out just how much I need to bring because we are not cash people usually. I'd rather throw everything on a cc and pay it off afterward. Please advise. Thanks.

For concessions and such at Horseshoe Bay, we used cash. For the transportation passes, we also used cash. (For those it doesn't mean they don't take c/c, we just didn't use it).

 

For renting motorbikes, we used an AmEx and for renting a jet ski, we used a Visa (they didn't take AmEx).

We were there last year and I'm pretty sure it was cash only for the transportation pass. I know for sure it was cash only at the beach.

We were able to purchaase our 2 day passes ($25 each) onboard the Breakaway, charged to our onboard account- Just FYI

Bringing cash for Bermuda is a big tip that can't be overstated. Major purchases will work fine with credit cards, but smaller excursions like a glass bottom boat may only accept cash. There a guy in a van who will drive you up heart attack hill (or whatever it's called) at Horseshoe beach. He doesn't take plastic.

We used cash for bus passes, van cabs, beach expenses etc., but stores accepted credit cards.
