Princess Cay: Jet Ski Rentals & Cost??

[LynneL]

I've never been to Princess Cay. Is there jet ski rentals?

 

If so:

 

How much are they?

 

Do you need to get there fast to sign up or is there a good amt. of them?

 

 

Anything else besides beach there? Thanks for your help.

Princess Cays

 

Who Goes There? Princess Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises

 

Where Is It? It may be isolated, but it's no island: Princess Cays is actually a 40-acre parcel on the southern tip of Bahamian island Eleuthera.

 

Getting There: Several of Princess' Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries include the island as a port of call. In addition, Regent Seven Seas Cruises occasionally offers a stop here. Ships anchor offshore and tender passengers in to the marina.

 

Playing There: Listen to live reggae and calypso music amidst mangrove trees. Play volleyball or basketball, or head to the sports pier to rent sailboats, jet-skis, aqua bikes and kayaks as well as snorkeling gear and floats. Snorkelers favor the coral reef surrounding the island. Youngsters can romp around at Pelican Perch, a supervised playground area for kids with a replica of a pirate's galleon.

 

Insider Tips: For the best pick of lounge chairs (especially in the shade) head to shore early. Drink up early too: Bars close at 1:30 p.m. even though the last tender doesn't depart until around 3:30 p.m.

 

Eating: The two open-air barbecue buffets include burgers, dogs, salads and chicken. Three bars serve up tropical drinks.

 

Shopping: Princess owns and operates Tropical Treasures boutique; plus you'll find several local vendors offering Bahamian crafts and hair braiding.

Except for those patroling the coast keeping an eye on those swimming, I have never seen jet ski rentals on Princess Cays. Maybe it's something new, but we have been there probably 10 times in the past, last time in August, and have never seen them for rent before.

We were on the 10/14 CB cruise and tried to reserve jet-skis at the shore excursion desk and were told they don't have them at Princess Cays. :(

At one time, they did have jet skis at Princess Cays. I had the sore backside to prove it. If they have stopped, that's too bad. I was looking forward to trying it again.
