Damage Deposit & Renter Responsibility

All boats and waverunners require a $500 damage deposit per vessel, due at check-in. This may be provided as a card hold or cash. Deposits are released after final inspection if no damage is found.

If a reservation is canceled due to failure to provide a damage deposit, no refund will be issued.

All-Inclusive rentals do not require a damage deposit; however, renters remain fully responsible for all damages, repair costs, and lost rental revenue.

Any damage to equipment or property during your rental is the renter’s responsibility. All repair costs must be paid before leaving the premises. No trip or rental insurance is provided.

Driver & License Requirements

All renters and drivers must arrive 30 minutes prior to their reservation time and present a valid physical U.S. driver’s license. International licenses in English are accepted.

A boating license is not required.

All drivers must obtain a temporary license by viewing the required safety video and completing a short quiz at check-in or online.

Fuel & Gas Charges

All-Inclusive rentals include up to one tank of fuel and do not include gratuity or towables. Fuel is not included for standard hourly or overnight rentals.

Fuel usage will be charged at checkout. If checkout is missed, the card on file will be charged and a receipt will be emailed.

Please provide a valid email address for communication and receipts.
