Do I have to have a boating license to rent a boat?

We require a valid driver's license from all drivers, regardless of what state you rent in.

Iowa does not require a boating license to rent a boat.

Wisconsin requires a boating license to rent a boat for any drivers born on or after 1/1/1989. Anyone who does not have a boating license
or boat safety certificate must take the Boat Renter's Safety Certificate test, which can be found here. Proof of certification must be shown
at pickup.

Are there life jackets on board? Anchors? Fire extinguishers?

Yes – each boat is equipped with all items required by law to be legal on the river, including life jackets for the capacity of the boat. There is
an anchor and line on each boat as well.

Do children have to wear life jackets, and do I need to bring them?

Children under age 13 must wear a vest at all times while on the water, whether the boat is docked, anchored, or in motion. We have a
small stock of children’s vests, but we recommend bringing jackets/vests for your children if they have them. This will ensure a proper fit.

Are children counted as 1 person on boat capacity?

Yes – the listed boat capacity is for all people, regardless of age.

Can I bring my pets?

No, pets are not allowed on our rentals. Please let us know at the time of reservation if you will need to bring a service animal onboard the
rental.

Are there bathrooms on board?

Our boats do not have either bathrooms or porta-potties, but there are many places to stop along the river.

Can I bring a grill?

Unfortunately we do not allow grills on our rentals due to the potential for fire damage.

Can we have alcohol on board?

Yes – alcohol is allowed on the boat and may be consumed while underway but you must follow state & national alcohol consumption
guidelines. You can get ticketed and/or arrested on the water for OWI (operating while intoxicated) with a BAC of .08 or higher.

Is there fuel on the boat?

Each boat rental includes a full tank of fuel, and the boat will be full at the time of rental. You do not need to refill the fuel prior to dropoff,
but if you run out of fuel you are responsible for any additional fuel costs incurred while you are out.

Are your boats wheelchair-accessible?

Sometimes – the layouts for our boats do make them wheelchair accessible, but it depends on the width and weight of your individual
chair, and will affect the total boat capacity due to the chair weight. We also have the ability to move the pickup location in our marina to
an easier access point. Please let us know at the time of reservation if you are looking for an accessible boat and we will work with you to
determine the best boat.

Do you offer a captain for your boat rentals?

Unfortunately, we do not offer captain services for our rentals.
