THE LIMIT

Two Riders, Two-Hour Minimum

This model is strictly capped at a two-person maximum and is offered with a two-hour minimum rental period—expect compact, concentrated time on the water rather than extended cruises.

THE RULES

Age and Certification Requirements

Only those 18 and older may rent; if you were born September 1, 1993 or after, you must present a Texas Boater Safety Certificate (out-of-state equivalents accepted) at check-in.

SAFETY FIRST

Mandatory Life Jackets and Operational Limits

Life jackets or vests are required at all times when in the water; towing (pulling a tube) is prohibited, and operators must obey no-beaching and no-switching-off rules at the dock.

What the outing feels like

The experience is deliberately compact: a short, rule-driven run from Sam’s Dock intended for adults who meet age and certification rules. Expect attentive check-in procedures, enforced safety measures like life jackets, and an emphasis on steady, responsible operation rather than high-risk maneuvers or towing activities.
