Coming to Nantucket for your summer vacation and eager to get out on the water? No matter what your aquatic interests are, we have numerous businesses that can help you achieve your fishing, surfing and sailing goals. For children, we highly recommend the Critter Cruise excursion. If you are looking to rent a boat but don’t have a license, look to Island Boat Rental for center console boats that can take you on your own adventure around the island.
