The 17ft 240H will serve you grandly as a water taxi. Prices from US$50/hour (minimum of one hour). You set the pick-up point and where you want to go. Then just sit back and enjoy the ride and the scenery. Wonder at the crystal clear ocean; so clear you’ll be surprised what you can see. Take the opportunity to stop for some snorkeling and maybe to swim with the amazing turtles. Perhaps factor in a lunch stop at one of our many ocean front restaurants. View Barbados from the other side; the side of the sea.

If you prefer a longer cruise of four hours, then join Above and Beyond on 674H. This cruise begins from your Paradise Rentals villa or apartment and takes you to Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados. Here you can indulge in some serious retail therapy, duty free of course, and then return to your holiday home from home, on the water and in style, avoiding the traffic.  These cruises are all perfect for families so bring the children along for a fun filled day on the water.

Also available are Sunset Cruises with various bar options, prices available on request. These trips are ideal for a special occasion or a romantic celebration.

High octane fun on the water, is all yours on Above and Below jet skis. If soaking up the rays and checking your social media isn’t quite exciting enough for you, then jump start the day with a thrilling jet ski ride. You’ll be in good company: Simon Cowell and Justin Bieber have both been cruising on jet skis with Above and Below Watersports. You don’t have to be the ultimate thrill seeker, you can just ride sedately along, and it’s not a difficult skill to master, even for a complete beginner. Chart your own path, at your own pace along the beautiful coastline of Barbados.
