Boat Boys

In many bays in Grenada you will be approached by local "entrepreneurs" wanting to help you find a mooring, sell you something or serve as your tour guide. They will normally approach you in their own boats (small fishing boats or even rafts) as you come into the bay and at times, may appear aggressive in their behaviour. Be clear which boat boy you are going to use, get their name and tell all others that you have chosen "x" to take care of you. Agree a price beforehand and always leave someone on board when crew go ashore. Read this useful article on boat boys for more details, tips and advice.
