Inflatable Boat Disclosures By booking, taking possession of the vessel, you automatically agree to the following: Speed: This boat uses a steering wheel and simple throttle (neutral/forward/reverse). The boat is powered by a large battery. An iPhone displayed with the battery status is mounted next to the steering wheel. As this boat only gets a charge at night, it’s critical to never go above 1500 watts to ensure you get your full rental time on the water. Think of the battery as a fuel tank that can’t be refueled. The boat motor and mount can break as well if putting too much power on the motor. Make sure to never go above 400 watts in reverse. Weight/Capacity The boat has an incredibly strict max weight limit of 1100 pounds. This translates to 6-7 adults. You can do up to 8 total passengers regardless of age. Only one adult up to 180 pounds or children combined weighing no more than 180 pounds may ever be on the “roof” of the boat. Important: A scale may be needed and passengers may have to be weighed at the dock if suspected of exceeding capacity. By booking and proceeding with the rental on your behalf, all passengers agree to be weighed as a possibility (note: I have never had to do this). Please understand that as an inflatable boat, unlike a typical boat, damage anywhere on the boat is irreparable and the entire boat may become a loss.  Operating vessel: This boat must not go to lake Washington and must not enter montlake cut! No exceptions. It has GPS tracking. There will be a $300 fine if this rule is not followed.  We will go over safety information in person.  Remember that paddle boarders, rowers, kayakers, sailboats all have the right-of-way. You must slow down, reverse, go around etc. As a rental, please just give everyone the right of way as a lot of boaters are inexperienced and don’t know the rules and many people can be quite aggressive on the water. Stay 200 feet to the east or west of the buoys in the center of Lake Union when their lights are flashing yellow. This is the seaplane takeoff/landing zone. Please provide a backup contact person/phone number for me to reach the boat in case your phone is out of reach or you are distracted. Communication is critical to ensure a great experience! Safety Equipment: The lifejackets are in the rear of the boat. The throwable cushion is easily accessible. An emergency horn is operational at the helm. The fire extinguisher is easily accessible along with the VHF radio. For rentals in evening hours: please ask before departure how to turn on at dusk the Navigation & Anchor Lights.  Other equipment: There is an inflator for blow up inflatables. There is a multi-type charging cable provided. The boat has a full zip-in windowed enclosure for cooler/rainy days. Insurance: The rental does not come with any insurance provided by the site, if you booked on any platform. Insurance is accessible by the Owner only which has a renter endorsement. Renter agrees by taking possession of the vessel to be immediately liable for the first $3000 in damages before pursuing any such insurance claim to prevent an inundation of insurance claims caused by renters which would in turn would cause higher premiums and potentially being dropped by insurance carriers. If an insurance claim is filed and in the event insurance will not cover an incident for whatever hypothetical reason, the renter is completely liable for any and all damages to the vessel, other vessels and structures, contents of vessel, damages to other’s property, injuries, death that occurs do to any incident while under the control of the renter during the rental period. Renter understands by taking possession of vessel, renter waives all rights for any suit against and all liabilities to vessel owner and understands renter is solely liable for the complete cost of damages to vessel, it’s contents, damage to any other’s property and the health and safety of renter’s self, any of renters passengers and anyone renter may encounter during the duration of the rental. If an insurance claim is filed and denied, or the costs exceed insurance limits, and in the event of any injuries to any parties, renter understands all medical costs are the renters responsibility and liability and the owner is not to be liable in any way whatsoever. The owner of the vessel may choose completely and solely at owner’s discretion to offer to limit damages sustained to vessel to the full amount of owner’s insurance policy’s deductible and any other incidental costs associated with making a claim. However, if damage affects future rentals or for any reason at owner’s discretion, complete costs of damages, medical bills, or any incident caused by renter or renter’s guests will be solely and completely renter’s financial responsibility and fully liable for any incidents and costs of loss of usage for future canceled rentals due to damage caused during the rental. Pickup location/process: We will be meeting at the public dock at the GPS location texted to you in Southeast Lake Union. In an extenuating circumstance we might have to meet at another location. Owner will communicate which location in advance of rental. Please note the pickup location may have to be changed from these locations depending on circumstances. Most likely, I or my assistant will shove the boat away from the dock after going over everything you need to know about the boat and we may be doing a demonstration docking of how to slowly approach the dock at the end of the rental.  Please Do Not Approach the dock at the end of the rental until we communicate and that I or my assistant is waiting for you at the dock. Please slowly approach the dock alternating between neutral and forward for brief periods of time. Approach either of us at the dock at a 45 degree angle and slowly. Boat rules: Be respectful of other boats and noise levels especially in marina/dock area. Please remove shoes prior to boarding. Do not allow any passengers to be on the rear of the boat while the boat is in motion. Follow legal requirements for children wearing life jackets where applicable. No smoking, vaping and no drugs. Be aware that waterways are patrolled by the Coast Guard and possessing marijuana is still a federal crime. No tying up to other boats and absolutely no docking unless asking for and granted permission first as the risk of damage is greatest in these two situations which has happened in the past. Cleaning: Entire boat must be returned in same clean condition as provided. Please use a provided boat towel, slightly dampen and scrub all surfaces upon return and best to do after most have stepped off boat. No red wines as when spilt is difficult to impossible to remove. No pets allowed. Please again, no smoking. If the boat is left dirty, or smoking occurs there will be $100 minimum cleaning fee. If any bodily fluids need to be cleaned, minimum $200 cleaning fee.  Music: The boat has a Bluetooth speaker that is provided.  Late fees: 10-29 minutes late $200. 30 minutes or more up to $1,000 if another booking is affected/canceled. Cancellations: Please note my cancellation policy is the same whether on the platforms or directly booked through me: - Free cancellations until 30 days before the booking start date. - 50% refund for cancellations between 14-30 days before the booking start date. - Cancellations within 14 days of the booking start date are non-refundable.  Rescheduling and Weather: I do not offer the ability to reschedule to another date. Seattle has variable weather and clouds and rain are a constant part of life here so unfortunately I can’t accommodate rescheduling or refunds for cancellations due to rain and clouds.
