A deposit of $200.00 will be due when you come to pick up the boat and sign your contract/waiver on the day of your rental.
When the boat is returned before 6:00 PM , and without damage to boat and equipment, your deposit will be refunded in full in the marina office. Please note that we charge for broken props, lost anchors, missing life jackets, broken ladders, damaged fire extinguishers, etc. If the boat is not returned by 6:00 PM, you will lose the entire deposit.
Cancellations
No refunds will be allowed for late check-in or early departures, illness, stormy weather, high water, mechanical failure, or car trouble.Exceptions to this policy: unsafe conditions on the lake such as tornadoes, hail, or heavy lightning will be delayed or rescheduled at our discretion.
You may cancel up to two weeks before your reservation date with a 15% administration fee. After the two week lock-in date has been reached, there will be no refund.
Rescheduling to avoid the loss of refund is not allowed.
Rental of multiple boats by one person or organization cannot be cancelled for refund.
The Marina reserves the right to cancel a reservation at any time due to overbooking or other circumstances outside of our control. A 100% refund will be given.
Pets
Well behaved dogs are allowed on our boats. Dogs must be leashed on the Marina docks. There is a walking area next to the parking lot at the top of the hill. If your dog cannot swim please bring a dog lifejacket.
Due to congestion our rental boats are not permitted into any other marinas. This includes Paynetown SRA, Fourwinds Marina, and any private docking areas.
Our boats are not permitted in the bay of Allens Creek.
We do not allow our boats to “raft up”. They are not designed for this and can cause serious damage to other boats.
Failure to adhere to these boating rules may result in loss of your deposit.
Boating
All boats are equipped with the number of life jackets (adult-size) to match the maximum advertised number of passengers permitted on the boat. We have a handful of children’s life jackets available to borrow on a first come first serve basis in the marina store, but you should plan to bring a proper fitting life jacket for all children and infants.
All boats are equipped with an anchor and fire extinguisher.
Double Decker, Super, and Mega Pontoons all have a second story sun deck with a water slide.
Super and Mega Pontoons also come with an enclosed bathroom and a gas grill with full propane tank.
Equipment
All boats will be fully fueled when you check in. At the end of your rental you will return to the fuel dock and the dock hands will refuel your boat. You are responsible to pay this fee before receiving your refund.
Fuel
Bring rafts, floaties, water toys, extra chairs, towels, sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, coolers, food, and drinks. The Marina store sells snacks, sandwiches (weekends), ice, pop, water, ice cream, hats, t-shirts, and sundries. Bait is also available.
