Important Information
We ask that you arrive 20 minutes before your rental time to review the operation of the vessel. If you are late we cannot adjust your rental start or end times.
An understanding of how to operate the boat once on-board is also necessary. If you do not have enough experience, you will not be able to rent the boat. It is essential for the safety of everyone in the rental group that the driver understands the safety information and operational instructions provided for them.
If you cannot understand or communicate fluently with the staff at Boat Up Fishing Rentals, we cannot rent you the boat. We cannot rely on an interpreter to give you important instructions in the event of an emergency or breakdown.
We reserve the right to refuse service to any individual if in the opinion of our staff a question exists regarding their ability to understand and follow the rules, regulations, safety instructions, laws and/or operational characteristics.
