A recent review from April 21, 2025, captures the essence of this adventure:

“P is for Park, H is for Haul ass and L is for Losers - We had a great time! EJ (Big E) was excellent. And his assistant guide was my life saver during our ride…making sure we traveled safe. We had several good experiences on the island. The Port, the distillery and the caves were all fun and lunch was great. Riding in the streets was a little challenging as we usually ride in the right side of the road back home. But the boys looked after us. 👍🏻”

Thrills on the Water

A review from April 25, 2025, highlights the exceptional service and fun:

“Great fun great people - Amazing amazing time with this group. They picked us up at prince george plaza even after we were late getting there, accommodation was excellent. We ordered 2 and ended up with 3 jet-skis so we were able to ride as a family. And I left my id and cruise sail card at the site, they gladly returned it helping me out a ton with minutes to spare so I could get back on the ship. The crew was friendly and wanted to make sure the whole group had fun. Wil def rent again when I get back to Nassau! 👍👍”
