#5 Reason for a St. Thomas Boat Rentalr
The Small Island Vibe. St Thomas is a nice island, but it is also a large port city. If you want top really experience the caribbean island vibe, you need to arrange for a St Thomas boat rental to take you to the smaller islands that you just can’t get to without a boat. There are no cruise ship crowds on a deserted Island!

Beach Bars! There are a number of iconic beach bars on Jost Van Dyke and Norman island, and you can only get to them by boat. How remote are they? The Soggy Dollar doesn’t even have a dock - you have to swim ashore form your anchored boat (hence the name, Soggy Dollar). Other cool beach bars include Foxy’s, Ivan’s Stress Free, Taboo, Pirates Bite, and the Infamous Willy T. All these are easily reachable with a St thomas boat rental - even if you are only there for a short day on a cruise ship.

There are also many colorful fish and reefs throughout the islands, plus a set of caves that are rumored to still hold pirate treasure!

The Beaches. The Virgin Islands regularly grace the covers of travel magazines and are perennial “Top 5” listing for best beaches in the world. Some of the these include, Magen’s Bay, Caneel Bay, Hawksnest Bay, Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay and Waterlemon Cay. Some are great for snorkeling as well, but all are terrific for just relaxing on soft white sand, or floating in the warm Caribbean water. Seeing them from your St. Thomas boat rental is the best, because seeing them from the water gives you a whole different perspective than you get looking out from the beach. Try it, and see what I mean!
