Bring ID and proof of completion of the boater rental safety course (email a copy to [email protected] before arrival if possible); sign the rental agreement in advance if you can.
Stay inside the operator’s marked boundary area, monitor your fuel level, avoid lotions or bronzer sunscreens that can stain seats, and never operate under the influence.
Plan to arrive about 30 minutes before your scheduled start to complete any additional paperwork and safety briefings.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
