Epic Boat Rentals has a variety of boats that can accommodate 1 person up to groups of 12 people.

Newborn and up! We will find the right charter for you based on the ages of people in your party.

Both the USVI and BVI have unique places to visit. We highly recommend visiting the BVI, however traveling to the British Virgin Islands requires that everyone in your party, including children, have valid passports.

Please see our destinations page for ideas on where to go. We can help you plan your trip based on time, budget and preferences. Please call or email us with any further questions.

The commute to Virgin Gorda is between 1.5-2 hours each way by boat (plus checking in at customs & immigration). Normally one other stop is permitted but this is dependent on sea conditions, weather & remaining time. If you decide to visit Virgin Gorda you should expect this might be your only stop.

If you are traveling to the BVI there is a standard $75 international processing fee (customs) per person. Fuel usage can vary depending on your destinations and needs to be paid to the captain the day of your trip. The industry standard for Captain’s tip is 20-25% of the cost of the boat. You should also bring money for lunch, drinks, souvenirs, etc.

Yes. If you have children in your party we will make sure to choose the right charter that will be safe and practical for children.

Most of the boats we charter have shade, and some more than others. If this is a priority we will get you on a boat with plenty of shade.

We do have boats with bathrooms aboard. If this is a priority please make sure to communicate this to us to ensure this need is met.

Most of the charter boats supply snorkel gear but some require that you bring your own gear. We will specify whether or not the gear is included and places to rent the gear if need be.

Lunch is provided only on luxury excursions. You can bring your own lunch or stop at one of the many restaurants throughout the islands.

Ice and bottled water are provided by all charters. Some offer sodas and beer. We will specify what your trip includes as far as beverages. Luxury excursions and sailing charters are open bar and specialty items will be an extra charge.

$75 (cash) per person plus a $70 (credit card only) USVI boat re-entry fee. Additional fees of $20 per boat apply on Sundays and during BVI holidays.

Industry standard is 20-25% of the price of the boat. If you have a 5 star day please tip your captain well!

Trips are typically 7.5-8 hours depending on operator. Many boats have the option for a half-day charter, which is 4 hours. At any point during your trip you can ask your captain to bring you back to the dock. You can extend your trip for an additional charge in USVI waters only. Please ask us directly about trip extensions.

Non-aerosol sunscreen, towels, any food or beverages that are not provided, passport if traveling to the BVI, credit card and cash, camera, picture ID, snorkel gear (if none provided).

Trips will go out rain or shine. Your captain will make the call as to whether or not the weather and sea conditions are safe. If the captain decides that the trip cannot go out we will do our best to reschedule your trip or provide you any available refunds.

Different boats leave from different marinas. Please let us know where you are staying as we may be able to arrange a pick up at your resort. We will give you detailed instructions for finding the boat and make sure you know exactly where you are going.

All of our captains are USCG Masters and are STCW certified (open water rescue, first aid & CPR, firefighting, and water survival). All boats have enough life preservers for adults & children aboard. The boats are also equipped with fire extinguishers, life rings, Marine VHF radio and other safety equipment. Your captain will go over safety instructions once your entire group is aboard the boat.

Epic Boat Rentals has a 48-hour cancelation policy. If you have to cancel or reschedule within 48 hours of your scheduled charter you will not be provided a refund for your deposit and may have the remaining balance charged to your credit card on file. Please contact us and speak with a representative as soon as you know that you need to cancel or reschedule and we will do our best to accommodate.
