5.00The whole team at wharfside watersports are really friendly, helpful and competent. We were given full safety instructions and recommendations for stops before setting off. We also rented a cooler and snorkel gear which is highly recommended if you don't have your own. The island is easily navigated and the beaches we visited were just stunning. This is a tour not to miss if you have basic boating experience.
Staff did everything they could to make our trip unforgettable!

5.00We rented the Zodiac for all day yesterday, and it was the best day of our vacation! Everyone at the water shop was so friendly and welcoming! They gave us great tips on where to go for snoring and to eat, and where not to go. We will definitely use them again next time!
The BEST boat rental experience EVER!

5.00Our experience with Wharfside Watersports could not have been more pleasant. We rented the boat for a whopping 8 hours which gave us plenty of time to explore the entire circumference of St. John. Boat was clean, equipped with GPS, and functioned perfectly. They were EXTREMELY easy-going offering flexibility with a discount if the weather turned bad or we decided to return the boat earlier than expected. They also offered us YETI cooler rentals to keep our refreshments cold. My advice is to don't even bother looking for another boat rental place in St. John as this place can not be beat from a quality and flexibility perspective....at least in my opinion.
A fantastic day on the ocean.

5.00A very well organized operation. They had a waterproof map and showed us the beaches and how to get there. Next we had a very informative explanation of how to operate the Zodiac. Next they take you out give important information about the reefs and how to avoid them. We spent the day cruising to the many beaches and had lunch at Pizza Pi. A fabulous day.
Totally worth it!

5.00Great experience! We spoke with several associates before renting and everyone was top notch!! Everyone spoke like they were the owner and took responsibility for their services. Very helpful and not salesy. They gave us great advice on where to go and the Zodiac was in fantastic condition. We rented for the entire day and wish it were more!
