Reserve Early and Know the Cancellation Policy
All boat rentals must be reserved in advance and a cancellation fee equal to one day’s rental per boat is charged at booking; that fee is non-refundable if you cancel or do not show up.
Plan Pickups and Returns During Business Hours
Pickups occur only within store hours and after-hours pickup is not available; after-hours returns leave you responsible for the boat until staff checks it in the following morning, and late drop-offs may incur additional rental-day charges.
