3
BeginnersBeginners can take advantage of included basic instruction on-site; note that offsite delivery still requires a four-hour minimum rental.
4
Groups wanting alternate launchesGroups that prefer launching from a non-City Dock location should plan for the operator’s four-hour minimum and additional delivery charges.
