rental policy

Listed rates do not include 6.75% NC Sales Tax on the rental rate or fuel.

At check in, you will need a driver's license for ID and a credit card. Captains must be at least 21 years of age. We will swipe your card for a $300 fuel/damage deposit temporary authorization. You can pay for rental rate at that time with cash or your credit card.

We will fit the kids under age 13 with comfortable life jackets as they have to wear them at all times underway(state law). You will be briefed on locations of boat safety gear and operation of the vessel. We'll also provide and review a map of your recommended routes.
The contract you sign at check in states that you do have knowledge of boating in tidal waters.

Renters are expected to return boats fueled up to the same level at departure for the next renter. Fuel is available at Joyner Marina at Snow's Cut. Fuel shortage will result in $6/gallon charge to replace.

We will also check boat and propeller condition prior to departure. Any damages will be your responsibility. If you use your map, cruise the recommended routes, pay attention to your depth sounder, and use common sense, your check-in will be hassle free. The last thing a tired captain wants to do at the end of a voyage is shuck out a bunch of cash to pay for boat damages.

Rental periods will fall between sunrise and sunset. No navigation is allowed at night.
Our half day renters will choose a morning or afternoon block of time allowing a second rental period for their day.

We can deliver boats to your dock or another southeastern NC location for an additional fee.

A $125 non-refundable deposit is required to book your outing. You can do this over the phone with your credit card. Book early!

Don't feel you're really up for the responsibility??
