Cayman Islands Scooter rental and information

I posted this on TUG and haven't had many replies so I thought I'd post here as well;


We will be going to Morritts Grand December 3-10 and in order to get FF ticket on Delta I am leaving a few days early and my wife will arrive December 3. we have a car reserved for the week at Morritts but I am thinking of renting a scooter for two days to scope out the island before she arrives. I will be staying on seven mile beach at the Marriott Courtyard and was wondering where I can get a scooter rental near the Marriott. I have rented scooters in Bermuda and Cabo and it was real easy getting around on it after a quick lesson. Is this something anyone else has ever done in Grand Cayman and is it safe to ride there?

I'm also making last minute plans such as Stingray City ( even after what has happened I still feel it is pretty safe to do). Reserve a show for the barefoot man at the reef. Go snorkling at Morrits ( Will the dock be completed by December 3?) and Rum Point. Go to Portofino and the Lighthouse for Dinner. What other suggestions to you all have for must do activities and restaurants ( We enjoy seafood and Italian and don't eat meat). We like all water activities but don't Scuba dive so any recommended snorkling trips or party boats for sailing or just sightseeing?

Can't wait to go and if anyone else will be at Morritts or the reef maybe we can get together for dinner or drinks?

I look high and low. I did not see any Scooters or Motorcycles for rent on the Cayman Islands. One would think you could have at least rented a Harley-Davidson there.
If you see or here of a place renting Scooters or Motorcycles please post and let all of us know.

Have a fun and safe trip in the Cayman Islands.

There is a thread here on this site about Hell. Be sure to vist Hell while you are in the Caymans.

Mopeds and scooters are also available on Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac. Riders are required by law to wear a helmet at all times and urged to be extremely careful. Remember to stay on the left. Average daily rate is US$25 which includes helmet and the mandatory Visitors Driving Permit.

Cemetary Reef is just north of the main 7 mile beach area and has very good snorkeling.

You should not need the pier for snorkeling at Morritts; it's been a few years, but I snorkeled right from the beach. We also did a beautiful catamaran sunset cruise that left from somewhere on the East End, I can't recall the name but hopefully it's still around and someone will know it. Barefoot Man is a must for first timers. I do NOT recommend the underwater diving 'bubble' submarine thing for non-divers, it was really expensive and disappointing, I'd rather snorkel. We also enjoyed the Botanical Gardens, if it made it through Ivan...
