I am looking to rent a 20' to 25' power boat for a day to take my family around the lagoon and west side of the island. Anyone have any recommendations?

I have rented boats all over the world and I would never pay more than $400 a day for the kind of boat I am looking to rent. I am surprised that there doesn't seem to be more rentals than there are and that the ones I've seen are so expensive.

I've looked many times, both on the French and the Dutch sides. Seems that you can't rent anything that size for any less than $500 for a half-day!
Too much moolah for my wallet.
Also too much dough, claims, dead presidents, greenbacks and too much wampum also! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

You can also try Aqua world in Simpson Bay. They have 18 - 26 ft. Reasonably priced.

Aquaworld no longer renting. We tried that on our last trip, in Feb. We ended up day chartering a 47' sailboat. What a beautiful way to cruise the island. 1 day crewed charter, with Lunch, and snacks for 4-6. Call "B&B on the Sea" +1721-523-7713. We are so glad we did this. Cost $600 for the day, plus Tip. Captain and chef. Nothing to worry about. Snorkel gear was included. Boat even had Airconditioning, which the ladies appreciated! Happy hunting. John.

Sounds wonderful but just not my thing. I want to go explore beaches and for me exploring doesn't involve a captain or crewman.

We rented from MP Yachting in Marigo marina, 6,5 meter single motor boat for the whole day, paid $450.00 including fuel. That was during this year regatta. Had lots of fun!
