How the three-day rental unfolds

Details to review before reserving
You are responsible for your own boat tie-down when transporting the rental; staff can assist if necessary. Bring appropriate gear for your planned days on the water and account for taxes and variable pricing.
Pickups are during store hours only; after-hours pickups are not available and after-hours returns leave the renter responsible for the boat until staff check-in the following morning.
All rentals must be reserved in advance. A cancellation fee equal to one day's rental per boat is charged at booking and is not refundable if you cancel or don't show.
