Hello, Im new to this forum, thanks in advance for the info. I'm traveling to Tortola this coming January with my adult kids, looking to rent a center console for a few days (8 people) for local day trips. Recommendation appreciated. Ive Chartered Cats a few times out of Road Town, somewhat familiar with the area.

Island Time has a 28' Cobia: https://islandtimebvi.com/the-boats/. I've had good experiences with them.

IslandTime is your best option on Tortola.

BlueRush Watersports in Leverick Bay just purchased 3 new Boston Whalers. Two 15' supersports and one 15' montauk. All w/ 60 or 70hp Yamahas on the back.

$350/day.

Could be a fun option for anyone staying on VG who wants to explore and bar hop around the North Sound

I have also rented the cobia a couple times from island time and good experiences both times. If its more convenient they would drop off and p/u the boat at Scrub.

Virgingordaresident, thx for the info on the small whalers, I had just looked at bluerush today and thought they were older boats but sounds ... glad to hear they are new, that helps my decision a great deal.

My apologies! To be clear they are "new to Blue Rush". They are certainly not brand new Whalers!!

But, those 15' Whalers last forever and can be fixed back up pretty easily. Even though they are used, the one at Blue Rush look in pretty good shape to me.

Are these the Whalers from the tour company that were kept in Trellis? They didn't seem to be used much. We have a 1965 13' and a 1973 17', both of which have been rebuilt and have new outboards. Very solid boats.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. I think they were bought in Puerto Rico.

They've got two of these, and one 15' Montauk.

They are perfect for a day rental around the North Sound to go snorkel, hit a beach, and stop by BEYC/Saba/Nova/Biras etc

$350/day.
