Rent a boat and explore St. John your way. We're a locally owned shop in Cruz Bay, and the idea is simple: put you on the water with the right boat for your day, no captain required. First time behind the wheel or a lifelong boater, we'll match you to a boat and send you off with a route, a conditions briefing, and everything you need.
Brand-new to boating? Our dinghies are easy to handle and perfect for the calm North Shore beaches, no experience needed. Comfortable on the water? A Zodiac opens up the whole island, including the south shore loop to Lime Out. Bigger group? The Medline carries up to 10 in comfort for a full day of beach hopping and snorkeling.
Not sure where to go? Start with our guides to the best beaches in St. John by boat and where to eat by boat, then pick your boat below.

Pick the dinghy rental if it's your first time on the water. No experience needed, easy to handle, and it gets you to the calm North Shore beaches like Maho, Cinnamon, and Honeymoon, where you can pull right up onto the sand.
Pick the Zodiac if you're comfortable at the wheel and want all of St. John. This powerboat makes the south-shore run to Lime Out, with a swim ladder and shade for up to 8.
Pick the Medline if you've got a bigger group or want a full day of beach hopping and snorkeling. Twin 300hp Yamahas, room for 10, and the range to reach the outer islands of the USVI.
