brandycroz Posted August 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hi, we will be on an NCL cruise to Bermuda Aug 17-24 and are looking to rent a boat from Somerset Bridge Watersports. We will be coming from the Naval dockyard. Is there a public bus route that goes to Somerset Watersports? We may have 6 people so I don't think a taxi will work and I don't want to spend a lot of money getting there. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailBadtheSinner Posted August 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2018 A route #7 or #8 bus will get you there. As you board, tell the driver your destination. The fare is $4.50 all zone token p/p. Since Somerset Bridge is only 2 zones from the Dockyard, then you could use a 3 zone token. The fare would be a $3.50 3 zone token. When buying the tokens, specify the 3 zone token. https://www.bermuda-attractions.com/bermuda_00002e.htm SBtS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted August 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) #7 or #8 bus routes will take you there, but taxi fare wouldn't be a great deal more....and the larger taxis hold up to 7 passengers so they can accommodate your group. The estimated taxi fare for 5 -7 passengers Monday through Saturday is $24.75 plus tip each way. Bus fare for 6 using tokens that cost $3.50 each will cost $21. I'd take the taxi for convenience at only a few dollars more. EDIT: Forget what I said. Three zone bus tokens only cost $2.75 each (3 zone cash fare is $3.50), so for 6 people the fare using tokens will be only $16.50.

peggy1 Posted August 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Make sure you have the money for the bus or tokens for the return trip if you go by taxi. It is very hard to get a taxi to come to a destination that is that close to the dockyard as they don't get that much in fares compared to further areas. We have had problems the last 2 years getting back from H20 waterspouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styme123 Posted August 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2018 They will pay for a taxi for you one way. Check the website. We were going to rent jet skis from them but ran out of time when we were there last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were going to rent jet skis from them but ran out of time when we were there last week. In the past I believe they only paid for a taxi if going for jet ski tours. They didn’t pay if going to rent a boat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
