Renting a boat

Post by naturegirl »

Hi all. Our trip is coming up fast. My husband and I were thinking of doing a boat to Jost/snorkling thing and was wondering if anyone else was interested in sharing the experience and the expense. If anyone is interested, do you have any preference of the boat/captain and what date from November 16-27th you prefer.

Also, anyone hear anymore about the FLAVOR charity food festival at the weston in November?

Hey naturgirl....

We leave on the 14th. But I'd like to make a suggestions for a Captain.

Born to Rhumb with Captain Kevin was excellent. He'll take you where you want to go. He fills his huge cooler with water, beer and soda and you can even bring your own lunch with you if you want.

We had a great time and I wish we could do it this time.

Nature Girl,
Debbie and I will be down from the 23rd thru the 29th we would be interested in spliting a boat but given your departure date and the Sunday Beach Bar gathering it would have to be on Monday the 26 th to work with both schedules.
We could either do a crewed charter with Palm Tree or Lion in the Sun or I would be fine renting from Ocean Runners and running the boat myself to save the captains fee. I have done the trip before on my own it just cuts out the pain killers for me if I run the boat.

Captain Jay-That would be awesome but may be difficult because it is the day before we leave but I will talk to my husband about it and will get back to you. Is there anyway we can do it on Saturday the 24th?
