Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
Do I need a New York State boater safety certificate?
No. At this time New York State does not require a boaters safety certificate for the operator of rental boats.
What time can we depart?
Boats can be picked up starting at 8:00 AM.
What time do we need to return to the dock?
Daily rentals must be brought back to the dock by 6:00 PM.
Can I have my boat delivered or keep it overnight offsite?
Yes. All boats, kayaks, canoes, and SUPs can be delivered. For rentals longer than one day you may keep the boat at your location and arrange pickup at the end of the rental.
How many people can we have on the boat?
Each boat has a Coast Guard data plate that states the maximum weight and number of people allowed; no boat may exceed those maximum guidelines and the operator will inform you of those numbers.
How does the fuel charge work?
A full tank of gas is provided at delivery/pickup; the operator checks how much gas was used upon return and charges the difference at market value.
May I bring my dog?
Yes. Pets count toward your total weight allowance, must have a leash, and life jackets are recommended (the operator does not provide life jackets for animals). The owner is responsible for any damage and should bring fresh water and a bowl for the pet.
