Nauti Nymph rents their 28' and 29' without Captain. I would give them a call and see what they are looking for in experience. I don't believe Ocean Runner is renting without a Captain, but that is worth a call.
If you're looking to explore the BVIs, customs & immigration is a factor. I understand the appeal, but it might just be easier to hire with a captain.

Yep, worth a call to Nauti Nymph, despite what their web site says. I do know folks who have rented from Nauti Nymph recently, but they are experienced with local knowledge. I've been hearing a lot of horror stories about power boat rentals being returned with prop damage and worse.

You can explore the north shore in a rent-me dinghy...

Thanks, and I should have mentioned we intend to return the vessel to the rental company at the end of each day.
