We regret that no exceptions can be made to these policies.
LATE FEE POLICY:
If the vessel is not returned by the scheduled end/return time, a late fee will be applied at double the standard rate, per minute late.
If the vessel is not returned by the scheduled end/return time and the return time falls at business closing hours, the late fee will be triple the standard rate, per minute late.
Language & Communication Policy
For the safety of all guests and to ensure clear communication during both instruction and potential emergency situations, we require that at least one member of each rental group be fluent in English. This person must be physically present during the check-in process, the safety and operational briefing, and remain with the group for the entire duration of the rental.
This individual must be able to fully understand and translate all operational and safety protocols to the rest of the group. Unfortunately, if no one in the group speaks English and there is no in-person translator available, we are unable to proceed with the rental.
This policy is in place to protect you, your group, and others on the lake. It’s essential that everyone understands how to safely operate the equipment and knows how to contact us or respond appropriately in case of an emergency.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests.
