About This Adventure
Experience the freedom of the lake with your group by renting boats from Zephyr Point. Enjoy up to three hours of exploration while staying within sight of the docks. With staff facilitating the process and ensuring safety, you can focus on making unforgettable memories on the water.
About
Rent the number of boats you need for you and your group. You’re on your own and get to enjoy the lake as you choose. With this option, groups are required to stay within eyesight of the Zephyr Point docks so that a staff member can ensure your safety from the shore.
When selecting, keep in mind that each booking is per hour with the option to book up to 3 hours. Zephyr Point will have at least one staff member facilitating the rental process and managing all renters. Zephyr Point staff are responsible for getting all boats and equipment ready, checking to make sure every participant filled out the Activities Liability Waiver, and managing the watercraft rental guidelines. Zephyr Point staff is not out on the water in a boat with renters, does not necessarily have a lifeguard certification, and is not responsible for managing behavior of group members.
Group rentals:
During the initial booking, the group leader must select the activity date, time frame, and number of boats, then pay a $100 deposit. Final numbers (number of people, number of boats, and types of boats) and final balance are due 24 hours prior to the reservation. Groups are responsible to pay for the total number of boats selected, even if not everyone shows up.
The boats reserved are your group’s to use for the duration of the rental window, so you are allowed to switch between people within the hour within reason, as long as every person participating has completed the waiver.
