Reservation & Check-In: Lessee must be 18+, present a valid driver’s license, credit card, and, if required, a Texas Boater Safety Card (for those born on/after 9/1/1993 operating certain vessels). Check-in is 30 minutes prior; late arrivals don’t extend rental time, and no refunds are given for lost time. Boater Safety: Lessees needing a Texas Boater Safety Card must provide it at check-in, or the reservation is canceled without refund (rescheduling possible). Out-of-state equivalents are accepted. Cancellations: Non-refundable, except 50% refund if canceled 14+ days prior (management approval). No-shows forfeit payments; emergency rescheduling may be allowed within 90 days. Weather: Rain checks issued for dangerous conditions (e.g., high winds, lightning) are redeemable within 365 days. No refunds for non-dangerous weather. Vessel Substitution: Lessor may substitute vessels for mechanical or other issues, with notification. Partial refunds or rescheduling possible if substitutes differ significantly. Liability: Lessee assumes risks of injury or damage, releases Lessor from liability (except gross negligence), and indemnifies Lessor against claims. A signed Indemnity Waiver is required. Lessor isn’t liable for personal property loss. Fees: Lessee covers vessel damage, fuel (charged at check-in), late fees ($50/15 min), and rescue fees ($250, non-mechanical issues). Damages are assessed post-rental. Safety: Life jackets are mandatory; safety equipment must be maintained. Prohibited: operating under influence, illegal use, exceeding capacity, or reckless operation. Lessee ensures passenger safety. Environmental: Lessee must comply with regulations (e.g., draining water to prevent invasive species) and is liable for fines. Force Majeure: Lessor isn’t liable for non-performance due to uncontrollable events; rain checks or refunds may be offered. Disputes: Governed by Texas law, with mediation required before litigation. Federal maritime law may apply on navigable waters. General: Lessee acknowledges terms, and invalid provisions don’t affect the rest. The signed Indemnity Waiver takes precedence if conflicts arise. Note: A signed Indemnity Waiver and Release of Liability is mandatory at check-in, reinforcing risk assumption and liability releases as well as a copy of renter insurance  policy from provider provided.
