Key Policies to Remember….

Damages
On the day of the rental, a $300 damage deposit (cash or credit card on file) is required for all motorized rentals. If damage occurs and the boat or jet ski cannot be rented until repairs are made, you will lose the entire deposit. If damage occurs and the damage deposit does not cover the entire cost of repairs, you are responsible for any and all excess costs. You have the option of purchasing a Damage Loss Waiver to minimize out of pocket costs for damages. Rentals are inspected before and after each rental.
Fuel
Rental rates do not include fuel. Payment for fuel is due when the boat is returned. Boats are sent out full of fuel and refilled at the end of each rental.
Boater Safety
If you were born on December 31, 1986 or after, you MUST have a “Boater’s Safety Card”. You can obtain a Boater’s Safety Card” at boatus.org. We can also issue you a temporary one day “Boater’s Safety Card”.

If a reservation is cancelled more than forty-eight hours prior to the reservation date, all deposit money is refunded less a $25.00 processing fee. If a reservation is cancelled with less than forty-eight hours notice, there are no refunds.
“No Shows” for reservations are responsible for the full rental amount due.
Towing
Towing of tubes or skiers is not permitted behind any of our rental boats or jet skis.
Anchors

Substitutions
If the boat you reserved is damaged in a prior rental or not available for any reason, we reserve the right to substitute a comparable boat for your rental. If you are not satisfied with the substitution, you may cancel your reservation and receive a full refund of your deposit.
