Damages

The Renter is responsible for all damages incurred during the rental period. The Renter must submit a credit card at the beginning of the rental for CCR. Any money owed due to damages incurred or violations of the contract will be taken from the card on file. A professional assessment of damages will be made to determine repair cost and the renter will be notified within seven (7) business days (subject to availability).
If any damages occur as a result of the Authorized Driver or any other party members on the PWCs while on the water, which results in needing a tow, a minimum $500 charge will be applied.
A late fee of $25 every 15 minutes will be charged to the credit card on file if the equipment is not back and ready by the end of your reservation.
If there is damage to the equipment due to negligence, which results in the rental being taken out of availability, you can be held responsible for both the damages and the revenue lost while the boat is being repaired for continued use.

Inclement Weather Policy

There are NO REFUNDS for inclement weather conditions. If there are inclement weather conditions, guests can move their reservation to another time during the current season.
Inclement weather is defined by the National Weather Service as high winds, lighting, or thunder. CCR will determine the weather safety at or near the docking point. If the weather turns severe while you are out on the water, seek shelter immediately in a safe place or protected shoreline where you can anchor the equipment.
