As a company where customers are responsible for the transportation of the items they are renting, we want to make you aware of the increased level of responsibility and potential risks associated with renting from us. If you are uncomfortable with the higher responsibility and risk, we kindly ask you to refrain from reserving rentals with us. While our rentals can be used in various locations, it's important to note that any items or trailers used beyond 50 miles from our shop are done so at your own risk and expense. We do not provide on-site mechanical assistance, but we offer phone support to assist you.

In the event of a breakdown, we will only reimburse you for parts and labor after receiving prior authorization from us and with the return of the old parts and receipts, unless we determine that the problem was caused by your actions. Please be aware that we do not reimburse towing or recovery costs associated with breakdowns, and it is your responsibility to return all items or trailers to us at your own expense.

Note: If you have minimal mechanical or electrical abilities, it may not be advisable to travel long distances from our shop. It is recommended to carry basic tools, including a voltmeter/multimeter, with you. Having these tools will enable us to provide better assistance over the phone. If we are unable to help you resolve an issue due to your lack of basic tools or refusal to go to a parts source, we cannot offer a discount on your rental.

Additionally, we want to inform you that due to the nature of boats, we do not guarantee the accuracy or performance of dash gauges, fuel gauges, depth finders, and stereo/sound systems. However, this does not relieve you of your responsibilities as the captain of the boat. You are still accountable for any engine damage caused by overheating or low oil pressure if you continue to operate the boat after a problem arises. Furthermore, you are responsible for any damage to the boat resulting from collisions with objects (depth finder). We do not offer discounts for nonoperative or inaccurate gauges, or nonoperative or inadequate sound systems.

By understanding and acknowledging these terms, you can make an informed decision regarding your rental with us.

​

Please read before Reserving any boats.

 While we are a land-based location, we allow our equipment to be used on a variety of beautiful lakes. However, use is strictly limited to our pre-approved list. If you have a specific lake in mind that isn't listed, please contact us for authorization before booking.

Because we track our fleet via GPS, it is vital that the equipment remains on the agreed-upon waterway; unauthorized locations will lead to the loss of your security deposit. Additionally, please note that any jetski/powerboat rental intended for a location other than Raystown Lake requires a minimum booking of two days on weekends.

Kayaks, Canoes and Stand up Paddleboards; all lakes, any stream/river with a Class 1 or 2 rating.

Power Boats/Jetskis; Raystown Lake, Deep Creek Lake in MD, Blue Marsh Lake, Long Level/Lake Clarke on the Susquehanna River (this is the only place approved on the Susquehanna River), Lake Anna in VA, and Finger Lakes, NY. 

​Renting a power boat or jetski requires your vehicle to have a hitch and be capable of towing the weight of the boat and trailer to the lake. Renting a power boat is not a spur of the moment decision, it requires some planning on your part. Such as a capable tow vehicle with a hitch, some experience in launching and retrieving a boat, a boating safety certificate (boating license), some knowledge of the lake where you are going to use the boat, some experience in towing and backing a trailer, etc.

NOTICE; Our boats may not be left in the water unattended, tied to a dock unattended or anchored unattended. The boat must be on the trailer when not in use and overnight. No overnight anchoring or docking. In other words, when the boat has nobody on it, it must be on the trailer. No Pets permitted on our boats.
