For those who come under this group and occasionally indulge in boat rentals, you should ensure that you get full value for the boating experience. Make the most of the time you have hired the boat for. Like all other factors, boat rentals also differ from one to another.
Luxury Honeymoon. This is another "dream honeymoon" for a big amount of people, the downside is that these honeymoons cost a lot of money. You can rent a yacht or Greece, or spend your days on a luxurious Caribbean resort. This is all about excess and the good life. No tight budgets allowed!
Really the only way to get to the best snorkel spots in the BVI is by boat charter. There are 2 different kinds of boat charters. There are the big boats that haul a lot of people, who price their trips "per person," and there is the private charter boats that will take just a small group like you, your friends or family, who charge by "the boat". Obviously, the big boats can be cheaper if there are only 1 or 2 of you, but a family or group of 6 or so friends will find they can get a private charter for about the same price. The benefit to the private charter is that you choose where you want to go and how long you stay at each place. The bigger boats tend to have a set itinerary, plus they can be a little like traveling in a school bus with all the other people.
Another alternative is to rent a boat but this is not practical if you plan to set to sea very often. It will be such a hassle to avail of a boat during the peak season when you will be competing of hundreds of others who wish to boating holidays also.
Remember to ask about the boat rental weight capacity and length. If you are above 250lbs it is good to let the self-guided outfitters know your size. Most rental canoes are at the 8oo pound capacity with good seat support. Canoe lengths range from 14-16ft and length is not critical for day trips. On overnight trips the longer canoe holds more gear.
Ask if the price is negotiable. Most boat owners would rather rent out their boat for slightly less than not at all, so don't hesitate to ask, even if you are dealing with a charter broker company. Make sure to ask what the "hidden" or extra costs are - and if they can be included in the price listed.
