It means you are able to operate it in the harbor and offshore, and be able to dock it in a slip. If you are unsure of your boating experience we are happy to offer chartered tours or a 2 hour docking lesson where our captain can train you on our boats and how to safely dock them before your trip.

It is the renter's responsibility to fill up the fuel tank PRIOR to returning the boat to its slip. If the tank is not completely filled, a $100.00 convenience fee will be charged to your on-file credit card, plus market rate per gallon of gas required. Boats not in the slip at 8:30 PM will incur a $60.00 charge (dollar/minute) per hour in addition to fuel.
