Multi‑day rentals allow pickup between 9 AM and 7 PM with nightly returns by 9 PM, simplifying planning for weekend getaways. Rental policies emphasize safety and clarity—customers receive straightforward orientation on boat or Sea‑Doo operation, guidance on local water conditions, and information about required documentation and deposits.
