The rentals

Eight rentals. Orientation comes with every one.

From a 2-hour Helm 101 to an 8-hour Full-Day Cruiser, with a captained option for anyone who would rather not drive. No prices are listed here; a person answers that when they reply.

Not sure?

Two questions. We will lean one way.

Has anyone in your group driven a boat before?
How long would you like to be out?
