The staff was very helpful and provided excellent service and guidance. The Zodiac was easy to operate and very stable for a small boat. My family spent time snorkeling and enjoying the waters around the National Park. I would definitely consider renting from this company again.

Scott and the entire Wharfside Watersports team are the best! We rented full day dinghy’s from them the last 2 years. Excellent orientation to the dinghy (if needed), expert advice on how the water and various St John’s beaches would be based on the weather and seas, and they are VERY flexible. We’ll make it 3 years in a row next year! Bill and Sharon U.

Rental process was quick and easy. Owner was more than happy to let me reschedule my rental to a different day because of weather. Had an amazing experience and would certainly rent from Wharfside Watersports again.
