The boat rental building is located by the beach at the end of the parking lot where you will fill out paperwork and leave a form of collateral (ID, credit or debit card, or passport) that we hold on to while on rental equipment. Once you have completed your paperwork you will go to the back of the building where one of our employees will assist you with your rental. Upon return of your rental, you will go to the front where you pay for your rental and collect your form of collateral.

Accepted Answer

Yes, you must call 3 days prior to your rental date (i.e. reservation on Friday, you must cancel by Tuesday). You will then receive $25 of your $50 deposit back. If you do not call 3 days prior, you will lose your $50 deposit. 
In case of inclement weather the above policy applies. This does not include short term showers, overcast skies or cool temperatures. We have the right to cancel reservation as we see fit due to high winds or dangerous conditions.
