FAQs
Yes. If your group is over 6 passengers, US Coast Guard regulations require a bareboat charter and you pay the captain separately in addition to your prepaid charter fee. An additional $100 per hour is due on arrival and paid directly to your captain (cash, Venmo, or Zelle). If you book 7+ passengers but arrive with fewer, you still pay this additional $100 per hour.
Arrive at the marina at least 30 minutes before your charter (longer on weekends and holidays) and plan to be at the boat 20 minutes before departure. Late arrival shortens your time on the lake.
Yes. Bring your own food, snacks, and drinks. Water is provided, and the boat has a cooler or small refrigerator; ice isn’t provided, so bring your own.
