FAQ

Boat rental questions

Where do I book?

Book directly with us on Book Direct. Pick your date and captain and send a request; we confirm by email, then send a secure payment link.

Is insurance included?

Every trip is run by a USCG-licensed captain who operates the boat, and each guest signs a passenger waiver online before the trip. For questions about coverage, email us before you book.

Do I need a boating license?

No. Every trip comes with one of our USCG-licensed captains, who operates the boat for you.

Can I drive the boat myself?

No. The boat is rented only with a captain. There is no self-drive option.

How many people can come?

Up to 10 people.

Can I smoke or vape on the boat?

No. Smoking and vaping are strictly banned on board. If the boat smells of smoke, a $150 cleaning fee applies, which is close to the actual cost of professional cleaning.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety comes first. If the captain cancels for unsafe weather, you can reschedule or get a refund under the terms shown at checkout, and we will email you if conditions look unsafe.

Where do we meet?

The exact meeting point is emailed to you after your trip is confirmed.

What should I bring?

Sunscreen, water, a hat, and a valid photo ID. Your confirmation email will note anything else you need.
