cnvh Posted June 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Following. This will be my first time to Bermuda and I just found out this boat rental thing was even a possibility only a couple days ago. We definitely want to do this also! Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted June 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 24, 2018 You will find recent threads on folks using H2O, we used them and it was great. They offered a larger boat and they are closer to King’s Wharf. Use the search function to read about both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles4515 Posted June 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Renting a Boston whaler how do I get there from the cruise ship? And Somerset or h2o? Any experience? I suggest taking a taxi. Neither is a long distance from the Dockyard, both are in Somerset, so the fare won't be too bad. I have not done either company, I did another company on the east end many years ago when ships used to dock in St. George's very often but from reading reviews posted here both companies sound good and sound similar. The choice seems to boil down to size of the whaler you want to rent, price, and availability. I don't think you would go wrong booking with either company.

blue_water Posted June 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) You’ll find ideas for a picnic lunch in my previous post on H2O and they can offer ideas as well. It’s nice to pull up on a secluded beach for a romantic or family lunch. The bus is cheapest of course and drops you near the road to H2O but it’s a 5-minute walk to the office so a taxi is easiest. Somerset did pay for a taxi one-way, not sure if that is still the case. We enjoyed jet skiing with Somerset but highly recommend H2O for the slightly larger Boston Whaler.

Laszlo Posted June 25, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2018 H20 over Somerset in my book. We have used them twice. Somerset has real Whalers, however I like the Whaler like catamaran hulls at Somerset more. They offer more stability! You really can't go wrong with either.

The boats are very stable and safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laszlo Posted June 25, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2018 :confused: Confused? The boats are very stable and safe. LOL, Yes, both are fine, however the Whalers at Somerset are small. I think they are 13 and 15ft. The cat hull style boats at H20 are 17th, larger and wider with a little more stability. I've owned 3 Whalers and love them. Currently own a 28ft Outrage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnvh Posted June 25, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 25, 2018 How comfortable are the smaller whalers for two larger adults? It'll just be the BF and I, but neither of us are petite, lol... Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
