As I remember Noah's would allow 6.

We had 5 and opted for 2 of the smaller ones so as to give the "kids" their own boat for the day.

Is is interesting that the two people that have weighed in as having a bad experience both sent their box WAY ahead of time.

We have shipped three times, each has taken less than a week - usually 3-4 days....

Too late for this incident but a tip for the future: Scan your passport and possibly your drivers license and email the scan/picture to yourself. You can even set up an "passport" folder in your mail so you know where exactly it is. Then no matter where you are in the world you can pull up...

Will be very interested in how you like the location.

This past trip we drove out and visited Sea Spirit which is just past Salt Pond - it sure is a quiet and beautiful part of the island.

We have only done this once (as noted) but I'll weigh in. Is the dingy hard to manuver? We certainly are not boat captains. I think it all depends of the weather, we have some light chop and 2 in one boat and 3 in the other. Going "out" is harder as you are going into the prevailing wind a...

Yikes - we actually looked for the animal shelter and I told my wife that was an option on a future trip - say the people in their yellow vests walking the dogs. Let's see I tipped over 20 percent always (in cash)when the meal itself might have been on a credit card - left lots of stuff for the clea...

Trip Report - Mar. 19-30 - Old Favorites and New Experiences

We have not had time to look at any pictures so this will be a “dry” report – we are also too busy shivering after returning on Wednesday at midnight. It’s killing me after 11 days of 80 degrees. I’ll therefore try and keep this short and sweet. Our trip, based on our past experience, and using tips...

Right on the way to Red Hook. 2 weeks ago we stopped first there then at the Food Center in Red Hook to round out our groceries. Later in the week we hit Starfish and the places in Coral Bay as ...

We are renting two of the smaller ones from Noah's next week but I wanted to pass along information on the larger console types. As we had 5 I was trying to decide on size and # of dingy's. I asked carefully if the larger ones could be beached and he told me that yes they could be beached - that it ...
