  • PLEASE READ WEATHER POLICY BELOW

Our Weather Policy:

We want our customers to have the best day on the lake and will do the best we can to accommodate you. Unfortunately, summer storms can roll in with little to no warning. There are also times when bad weather is predicted and it ends up being BEAUTIFUL. Trust us, this happens A LOT.

Due to the many variables in weather prediction, rescheduling is only permitted to take place the day before, if not the morning of your reservation if bad weather is predicted. A full refund can also be issued if rescheduling is not an option. 

If the Weather Channel App. predicts a 70% chance of rain meaning HEAVY rain lasting more than 1 hour, lightning, severe weather warnings, or high wind advisories, we will reschedule or refund your rental.Most “pop-up” showers only last a few minutes and you will be able to continue to enjoy your day.

Please keep in mind that cloudy days, on an off sprinkles and misting, and a passing storm are considered “boatable” days.

Cancellation Policy

14 days ahead of reservation- Full refund

3-13 days ahead of reservation- 50% refund

Less than 72 hours- NO REFUND

Please keep in mind, this business is our livelihood and keeping a reservation blocks other customers from being able to book. The more notice that you cannot keep your reservation, the better!

FAQ

  • Are we responsible for gas?

    NO! We will not make you fill up the tank before we pick it up from you. However, if you run out of gas during your use time, you will be responsible for getting yourself more. The first tank is on us! Only certain locations that are far “up river” are subject to a delivery charge due to time and gas spent during delivery. Text us about your location if you are not sure.

  • Do I need a boating license?

    NO you do not. However, we encourage those who feel comfortable driving a large pontoon to rent with us. If you do not have boating experience, we would not suggest renting a pontoon. Lake Murray is a busy lake and would not be safe for novice boaters.

  • Where do we get the pontoon?

    We bring it to you! You tell us the address of your vacation rental and we will deliver the pontoon to you by water. We no longer meet at public marinas or boat ramps anymore.

  • Will you tell us how to get around?

    We sure will! In addition to a brief breakdown on how to use the boat as well as safety procedures, we will give you some fun ideas of things to do on the lake to optimize your day!

  • Can we rent for multiple days in a row?

    Yep! We understand if you’re vacationing here for several days you might want to just keep the pontoon overnight. We actually encourage this! Keep in mind we do have different rates for weekdays and weekends. Give us a call so we can properly invoice you! 803-575-0836.

  • Will you drive us in the boat?

    Unfortunately, you have to have a Coast Guard licensed captain to drive people for money in a boat. At this time we do not offer guided tours.
