Please try to arrive 5-10 minutes early.  

Please take this time to gather your group, gear, use the bathroom and be ready to depart! 

Once you guys are ready, please checkin at the log cabin and we will watch a short video, go over the contract, lake map and damage form. 

Then we will show you guys to the boat, provide a safety talk, take pictures for damage and answer any questions you may have about operation! 

The boats are in the water, full of gas and ready to go. So after we show you the boat you are ready for your adventure!

Daily rentals return 7.5 hours after pickup with the last return time at 6:30pm, Multi day renters return by 4:30pm. 

You must return the vessel on a full tank by refueling at the marina before returning. Failure to refuel will result in a $10 per gallon charge. Please note that most marinas close by 5. IF you schedule a daily rental with a return time after 5 we have a discounted rate available. 

When returning it can be very busy at our location. Please wait for one of our team members to wave you in. 

While waiting, please take this time to gather your belongings and return the vessel in the condition it was at the start. Make sure all jackets are put away both bumpers are untied and stored and the vessel is otherwise in the same condition at the start of rental.

After we waive you in we will help you park and check in the vessel!

We take a $100 non refundable (rain or shine) deposit per rental day to reserve your vessel.
