Rental Boats
 |
As
you can see by this map, you will need
a rental boat in order to get around. |
Rental boats are a necessity for getting around the islands!
Rental boats are the run-about types and are available for
rent in various sizes. They are easy to operate and the Sea
of Abaco is protected and not deep and is perfect for boating.
Most companies offer center consoles in the 20-26’
range. A couple can make do with a 20-footer; a party of 6-8
will want a 26-footer. Larger boats will typically handle
rough weather better than smaller ones.
As soon as you book your cottage, you'll want to rent your
boat right away as they can sell out quickly, and book at
least 2 months in advance for June & July rentals or you
may well be stuck on Lubbers without a boat, and chartering
a ferry is about $80 1-way (to Marsh Harbour), and island
hopping would be impossible! Listed below are some of the
rental agencies:
Blue Wave

Rainbow Rentals,
Bay Street, 367-4602
Rich’s Rentals,

to Lubbers. |
