HARBOR-SIDE AREA
The house comes with a 9' and 12 ' skiff for local transportation. There is usually a working 4hp or 6hp engine for the 13' dingy. However, a rental boat is still highly recommended as the skiffs are not permitted outside of the harbor area.

They are located across the harbor on Man-O-War Island and will take good care of you. Contact them at www.waterwaysrentals.com
