Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
How long can I rent a boat?
Rentals are available from 2 to 8 hours; management enforces a minimum two‑hour rental requirement.
Who can operate the boat?
The nominated captain must have been born before Sept. 1, 1993 or hold a valid Texas boating license. A paid captain is available on request for $50 per hour.
What safety equipment and supplies are provided?
Boats come with fuel and life jackets included as part of the rental.
What is the maximum party size?
The rental listing notes an overall 8‑person maximum; the runabout specifically allows up to 6 people or 1,500 lbs.
What is the weather and refund policy?
If weather at the dock prevents departure at the reservation start, the operator will change the reservation date; if weather becomes dangerous during your time on the water, you will receive a rain check for unused time, but once you have left the dock no refunds are given for unused portions.
Do I need to arrive early?
You should arrive 30 minutes early to ensure you can get on the water and maximize your rental time; reservations are for a specific time and late returns may incur additional charges.
Can the operator refuse service?
Yes. The operator reserves the right to refuse service and to terminate charters if anyone is violent, vulgar toward others, too intoxicated or otherwise unable to follow company policies; in those cases deposits may be forfeited.
