Outing Highlights

THE FREEDOM

Design your own route with a captain aboard

The core draw is freedom: hire a captain, set the length of your outing between about one and six hours, and choose how you spend the time on the water — from relaxed cruising to anchored breaks for swimming and sunbathing.

THE SUN

Sunbathing and open-water lounging

One of the commonly suggested activities is sunbathing — a peaceful way to pass hours on a private boat while anchored or drifting along the coast.

THE LAUNCH

Easy beachside meeting points

Pickup is arranged from designated beachside locations (look for the operator’s yellow-and-green tent) or directly at permanent beach locations at the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort or the Marriott Hotel.

What the day feels like

What the day on the water feels like

This is a private, captain-led boat rental where the itinerary is yours to decide: short excursions or multi-hour cruises, all with the flexibility to stop for swims, sunbathing, or simply to cruise the coastline at leisure.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this boat rental suits best.

Small groups and friendsWith space for up to eight passengers, the boat is ideal for a private outing among friends or a small family seeking a flexible half-day or shorter escape.

Sunseekers and loungersThose looking primarily to sunbathe, swim, and relax on the water will find this a simple way to carve out private time offshore.

Guests who value flexibilityBecause you rent the boat with a captain and set the itinerary, this is a good fit for travelers who want control over pacing and stops rather than a fixed tour schedule.

Visitors needing straightforward logisticsIf you prefer clear meeting points and easy pickup, the operator’s beachside locations at two major hotels and the visible beach tent simplify rendezvous.
