  • Operation Guide & trouble shooting

*Cannot reserve any daily motorized boats prior to arrival as weekly reservations take priority.  Upon check-in, ask at the lodge what is possible for dailies. Keep in mind you will want to view weather forecast as close to scheduling your rental as possible, too.  When you reserve, you will be charged immediately.  NO REFUNDS IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO USE YOUR reserved boat rental on the day you've booked: whether it be weather-related, illness, scheduling conflicts, etc. - no matter the reason.  If you book it so that is unavailable to others, you are responsible for the full rental.  If you are unsure which day looks best to you, wait until the day before to pay and book, then schedule your 5-minute boat orientation/operation run-through.   We do orientations as soon as you reserve if possible.  If not possible, then will schedule after 8 a.m. the following day. 

Boat Waiver:  MUST sign boat waiver and put down damage responsibility credit card.  Expect the boat rental agreement to take approximately another 5 minutes to review and sign.  https://forms.gle/muGmWrZSibkNXKTy8
