Safety is our #1 priority! You must have prior adequate BOATING EXPERIENCE to rent a boat with us. Driving a BOAT is nothing like driving a CAR. If you do not have educated boating experience, then we have a Captained Boat option available to ensure all can enjoy a fun and safe day out on the water. 

Boating Experience can be determined by how many years you have been boating, number of times you have operated a vessel and what types of vessels you have operated. We may require you to complete a "basics of boating" questionnaire to determine your experience level.
