We offer set time slots throughout the day to allow multiple groups to enjoy the lake. For the most flexibility, you may also book a full-day rental.
Most rentals are booked in 4-hour blocks, though longer rentals are available depending on availability.
Good news–if your boat isn’t booked after your charter, you can often extend your time on the water for an additional hourly rate. Just let your captain know!
