Retro-style boats available for rent on James River
Table of Contents
A new boat rental service is offering the chance to cruise the James River in style.
Retro Boat Rentals, part of the Sea Suite Cruises fleet, on June 1 launched a fleet of vintage-style electric boats featuring fins and headlights, retro colors, and chrome details.
The classic fiberglass runabout boats (from the 1958-1963 era) were restored and fitted with modern electric motors, according to company officials. The boats can hold a maximum of four people, and no captain's license or boating experience is required to rent them.
The boats, which dock at Rocketts Landing at the Henrico-Richmond border, are equipped with biminis to provide shade, bluetooth speakers, and are available for rent for 90-minute sessions. They feature a maximum speed of 4.5 miles per hour.
