The Lake George Park Commission requires any renter to watch a 5-minute safety video prior to renting the boat.
There are several online boating classes you can take to get certified.
You will sign off on the rental contract that any operator has watched the video. It contains a lot of helpful rules and regulations on Lake George. If you have watched the video in the past, you will still need to watch it once per season, it will be a great refresher on the buoy and navigation system on the lake.
We do not take reservations, they are first come, first served.
The time will start from when you leave the dock.
Yes, all of our rentals come with a full tank of gas, you pay for what you use at the end.
There are gas stations all over the lake if you need to top off throughout the day.
Parking is somewhat limited, we have a tight parking lot.
We do have an overflow lot where we can shuttle any larger vehicle or campers.
The first vehicle is free; any additional vehicle is a flat $10 fee.

For multi day rentals, we require a $500 deposit (non-refundable within 14 days)
The deposit will go towards the cost of the rental, you will pay the remaining balance when you come to pick up the boat.
You must cancel outside of the 14-day cancellation period to receive a full refund, if you cancel within the 14 days we do not refund, we will however let you keep the deposit as an in-store credit to be used at any time in the future- there is no expiration on the in-store credits. That policy is for all reservations.
We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express or Discover. We recently started accepting Apple Pay. We do not allow personal checks.
Rentals are rain or shine, once you leave the dock there are no refunds or in-store credits.
If you decide to cancel a reservation we will take your deposit and put it as an in-store credit to be used anytime in the future for a boat rental. Deposits cannot be used towards gasoline or our ship store. You must provide notice in order to avoid losing the deposit.
For any rental that leaves our dock, once you pay for the boat there are no refunds or in-store credits. You will sign the contract that you understand this policy. When you come to pick up the rental, you have the option to shorten the reservation or modify the dates BEFORE you leave. However, once you pay for it and take the boat we do not refund or issue any credits if you return early.
