IMPORTANT!

Our Guests are important. As always, our boats are cleaned and sanitized after every rental. Our rentals are private. This means that only your group will be on a boat during the rental.

Our picnic area is provided for our guests as they wait to board their boats. When people check in, they wait in our picnic area. Oftentimes there are children in that area that can see and hear conversations. Please be respectful to those around you by limiting the use of profanity.

There is a Six (6) Person maximum on the 18ft pontoon and a Ten (10) person max on the 22ft pontoon. This is the total number of bodies on the boat including children, infants, and adults.

Please do not show up with more people than stated above. Our staff cannot make exceptions and it puts them in a difficult situation, especially when trying to check in other Guests. If your group has more than the maximum persons allowed, we cannot let your group out and we will not refund any money paid.

Covid-19  Safety

Our Guests are important. As always, our boats are cleaned and sanitized after every rental.  Our rentals are private. This means that only your group will be on a boat during the rental.  According to the CDC, masks are not required for those who are vaccinated.  We encourage you to do what you feel is best for your group.

Vaccinations

We will never ask about your medical history.  All are welcome with or without vaccinations as we are outdoors.

Our picnic area is provided for our guests as they wait to board their boat.  We do not require masks in that waiting area or when checking in at the trailer, or while cruising on boats.  If you are not comfortable being around others, we do not recommend booking. We want all of our guests to enjoy their experience. Mask shaming is not tolerated.

Please do not arrive with more than 6 or 10 people (depending on boat size)  in total as we are unable to refund. If more than the allowed people arrive, we cannot let the group out.
