“You can do it all with a Boston Whaler,” at least that’s what the brochure says, and they’re “unsinkable,” again according to the brochure. Seriously, though, if you love getting out and about on the water, you should consider renting one of these sturdy craft. They are available for rent at Water Sports, Robinson’s Marina at Somerset Bridge. The boats travel at speeds up to 35 miles per hour, have center consol steering, Bimini tops to provide shade from the midday sun, and you can take along optional snorkeling gear, fishing rods and tackle, and a cooler with ice, all for a nominal extra fee. You can explore the coastline and its many secluded coves, tiny islands and beaches, or speed around the Great Sound. You can snorkel over a reef, off an island beach, or even over a shipwreck. If you want a secluded picnic,that’s available too. You can even feed the fish over the shipwreck of the HMS Vixen. All this is possible through map orientation and advice about route selection provided by Tony Roach, the owner of Water Sports. Tony’s colored map highlights the best beaches, snorkeling spots, and where to find the best fishing, as well as convenient waterside restaurants. Never driven a boat before? Don’t worry Tony’s staff will show you how in just a few minutes; it’s that easy. You can rent a Boston Whaler at two hours for $60; four hours for $100; six hours for $140; and eight hours for $160. Gas is extra, costing about $15 for four hours. The boats will carry up to four adults one adult equals two children under 12 years old. Reservations are advised no deposit is necessary and you should plan to arrive about 30 minutes before you intend to depart.
