They said I wouldn't make it on this island. Hubs and my boys said "Hold her coconut", taught me the basics, and BAM. Big shout out to Gallows Bay Marina for making sure I had a non suck Snorkel! Bigger shout out to Luciano for your patience in teaching me, for your gift of all this amazing gear, and for being my BFF 😂 - you're the best!#westindies #spearfishing #beuchat #beuchatspearfishing #hamm...

Renting fishing equipment

I don’t wanna fish off a boat I wanna surf fish from the shore and just hang out. Is there a place I can rent a decent rod versus buying an overpriced junk rod?

I haven't gone in 6 weeks and I truly miss the "family" there!
Hope to see you soon!"

"You'll just have to stop in and experience for yourself. This is a marine store with a great selection that doubles as a local watering hole. The owner, Steve, has A local beer on tap. Frosted mugs if you qualify and local laughs and banter. Don't miss this place even if you are only waiting for the Ferry."

Bob Wilson

If you ever need any thing for your boat, he is the guy to speak too...

Highly recommend"
