This hold is released after the booking is complete, if no claims are made (boat is returned in same condition, on time and no damage) and may take 3-5 business days to reflect on your account depending on your financial institution.

You have to bring water, fully charged cell phone and credit card for security deposit authorization.

You can wear swimsuits, bring a towel and sun lotion (please bring one that does not leave stains on upholstery and helm, it’s very hard to clean and we might charge you for extra cleaning)

Renter is responsible to prove that driver passed the test PRIOR to departure. Not having the boating safety completed will lead to cancelation with no refund.
