LAKES END BOAT RENTAL FAQS

  • Answer: Lakes End Marina has specific watercraft that will accept pets. Please be sure to let us know at the time of booking if your plans include bringing your pet. There is a $30.00 non-refundable pet fee per rental.

    By restricting pets on certain watercraft, we have an easier time keeping our watercraft in excellent condition for all of our customers.

  • Answer: Fuel is not included with your rental unless otherwise noted. Fuel consumption is directly dependent on the weight of the watercraft, occupancy, water conditions and your riding style. Your rental starts with a full tank of gas. Upon returning your vessel, you are responsible to fill the gas tank back up. Keep in mind, for full and multi-day rentals, Lakes End Marina is the only gas facility available on the lake.

  • Answer: Our cancellation policy requires you to let us know of your intent to cancel at least 3 days (for hourly and half day rentals) prior to your reservation. If cancellation is less than 3 days (or 7 as per below) you will be charged the full rental fee. Full Day, Multi-day and Weekly plus holiday reservations require a minimum notice of 7 days.

    Cancellation policies may be more strict during holiday periods, which include several days surrounding the actual holiday date.

    Reservations that do not show up will be charged a NO SHOW Fee equal to the full rental.

    A 50% deposit is required on all reservations. (A rental credit for a future rental will be issued if reservation is cancelled or moved as outlined above).

  • Answer: No. Although you are welcome to bring your own vests or water sports equipment, vests are included with each rental and we have a full line of water sports equipment available to purchase or rent.

  • Answer: Unfortunately, we have no control over the weather. It is our policy to prevent accidents from occurring by restricting watercraft use during inclement weather. If the weather is bad on your scheduled day, just give us a call and we will be happy to reschedule for another day based upon availability. You are not obligated to go out during inclement weather.

  • Answer: Capacity ratings vary by craft. Please visit the craft page for each craft you are interested in or call our office to confirm capacity ratings.

  • Answer: Our multi-day rentals start anytime between 9 am and 12 pm in order to fulfill a full day rental (8 hours) on your first day. Multi-day rentals are to be returned to the Marina by 5 pm on the final day of your rental. Watercraft may only be returned after the scheduled 5 pm return time if prior arrangements have been made and accepted by marina staff. Fees may apply.

    Keep in mind we also offer hourly, half day and full day rentals.
