Self-Drive Boat — Hydra 530 (17ft)
Activity Highlights
About this activity
The Hydra 530 is a 17ft open motorboat with a 60HP engine — clean, reliable and comfortable enough for a full day on the water. No licence is required: you'll get a briefing on the controls before departure and then you're free to go wherever you want along the south coast. The boat's Tiffany blue interior and Bluetooth speaker make it as enjoyable to be on as to drive. St Thomas Bay is perfectly positioned for exploring both directions — east toward sheltered coves and swimming spots, west toward the Blue Grotto and the dramatic limestone cliffs of the south coast. Take it for 2 hours or stay out for 5. Fuel is purchased separately at the base before departure.
