I am charter with dream yachts in 2 weeks and just found out there is no blender on the boat, in the bvi they have a blender rental program from the charter company. I understand that dreams does not. Any suggestions of where I can get a blender. I have not been to st martin in the past

First, find out what power your boat has, and when it is available.

Typically 110 volt blenders will run down the batteries pretty darn quickly. If your boat has access to 110 through a generator, you should be okay.

Now, you can get a blender new at the Ace hardware on Welfare Rd, a three block walk from the marina. Cheap one for less than $50. The other option is to start looking now at home with eBay or garage sale. $20. Take it down and leave it. Have fun

Dream Yachts probably have generators which you will need to power a blender. The Cost u Less (or similar) will probably have a blender

Years ago I bought a smallish (2 drinks at a time) blender which was battery operated. It did a good job. Search on line or even check eBay. I still have mine somewhere in storage!

Home n Tools still around? French side appliances if needed. Ace is good but Cost u Less is best price I think.

Yes, it is still around but will only have 220V devices.
