Less than 48 hours no refund unless we are able to book another rental for that full period and then there will be a $50 refund fee. If we are unable to rent for that rental period there will be no refund.

Note: Weather conditions are determined using NOAA and USCG weather information as well as other reliable sources to determine the conditions for the rental period. Scattered showers or scattered or possible passing storms are not necessarily considered conditions that constitute a need for re-booking or cancelation.

Should a passing shower or storm come up during your rental period we will remain anchored or stay moored if already moored. Seek shelter at a nearby dock or marina until the storm passes. If lightning, have all persons get out of the water.
