Bought me a boating business!
 
Hi All,

I've been out of boating for a few years but back in it in a big way. I just purchased a small powerboat rental business in the BVI called Island Time Powerboat Rentals & Charters. We rent 30' and 24' Contenders and RIBS. We offer bare boat rentals but captain services are also available. Very excited about this new venture and look forward to welcoming OSO members who boat in the BVI. All the details of our boats and rates are available on our website at www.islandtimeltd.com. If you do rent with us please identify yourself as an OSO member and ask for Julien - I'll make sure you're well taken care of. If any of you have rented from us before please feel free to share your experience. It's great to be back on the water!!

Julien (OSO Member Nkosi)

We rented from you back in 2011 when I was there with my now ex girlfriends family. We always stay in virgin gorda. At least I think this is your now new business. Can't wait to go back. One day I'll run a boat in the bvi poker run

Rates of 400-500 a day look like good revenue on long lasting center consoles.......Good luck with your new venture!

Looks great, should be an enjoyable business to operate.
I've been in sales all my life and I loved one question/answer on your FAQ page....

Q. "Do I get a discount?"
A. "Why?"

I wish more people understood this, especially with a small business. Your rates look pretty reasonable to me, fleet looks good with insurance and safety gear ready to go. Hope things go very well for you.

Good looking boat and 12 person capacity is great for charters. Hopefully we'll get there one day.

Most likely it was us. We do a lot of business in VG. The Poker Run is great fun. Be sure to look me up when you plan your next trip.
