Discover the beauty of Jamaica by motorboat

You will be amazed by the beauty of Jamaica all throughout the island. Here we have three key locations that are particularly popular.

Kingston

The capital of Jamaica is where you are certain to find the liveliest atmosphere. Kingston is mainly a hub for urban life and transportation, so while there are beaches, these are not the most popular. Instead, you can take advantage of being in the centre of all things culture. We recommend you visit the Bob Marley Museum to learn about the late musician and take a deep dive into reggae music.

Montego Bay

This is known to be the tourism hub of Jamaica. Not only will you find a buzzing atmosphere filled with nightlife and music, but there are exceptional beaches in Montego Bay. If you want to see the clear water, head over to Doctor’s Cave Beach or Walter Fletcher Beach. Apart from soaking in the glorious sun on the silky white sands, you can dive into the waters from your motorboat! Montego Bay is famous amongst snorkellers and divers around the world for its exotic marine life as you can see various rainbow coloured fish and corals.

Ocho Rios

Finally, if you want to explore the tropical flora that Jamaica has to offer, you will want to visit Ocho Rios. This port town on the northern coast of Jamaica is famed for Dunn’s River Falls, a 232-metre-tall waterfall. Furthermore, you’ll be close to the vast landscapes that Jamaica has to offer, whether it be rainforest, wetland, or cave.

Should you rent a motorboat with or without a skipper?
