HOURS FOR MULTI DAY/OVERNIGHT RENTERS: Renters are prohibited from being out on their pontoons between dusk (1 hour before dark) and dawn for ANY reason. This is a local rule. NO night boating or fishing...period.

==>SKI/TUBING POLICY. In light of several problems and accidents in the Ohio and midwest insurance region, our insurance WILL NOT allow us to rent skis or tubes this year in the amount recommended (5M minimum), and no insurance will adequately cover accidents in our opinion. We also will now NOT allow renters to bring skis or tubes.

Should weather prevent you from being on the water prior to your rental period, we will issue a “rain/weather” certificate (we DO NOT offer money back) for the period of time you are inconvenienced & is good for 1 yr. A FUTURE FORECAST CALLING FOR BAD WEATHER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A BAD WEATHER RAIN CHECK. Text your contact person on the bottom of your reservation text (not the office ) for weather updates or to receive ok for rain check. Drizzle, cold or wind does NOT constitute bad weather too severe to boat. By choosing to go out on your rental for even a minute, you choose to use your full rental instead of receiving a rain check.  If conditions make it dangerous to either the the pontoon and/or our renters. we will immediately call you in or call you to park for safety. 

PLEASE CHECK weather the evening prior to your rental date as conditions change day to day,

As renter it is your responsibility to do all diligence prior to renting your pontoon. make completely sure you understand all lake issues or concerns, if any, prior to you securing a pontoon rental. Any lake issues are in no way the responsibility or fault of the rental company, and therefore obviously not a refundable issue.
