The LESSEE shall utilize the Rental Craft under the terms of this agreement and all applicable maritime rules, policies and laws as regulated by the United States Coast Guard, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or any other regulatory body. I Agree The United States Coast Guard is responsible for regulating and enforcing standards on Bareboat Chartered vessels. No more than 12 people are allowed onboard our boats (including a captain if LESSEE chooses to hire one per the below and crew). Our double decker pontoon boats can carry up to 14 people provided one of such persons serves as the Captain of such boat and another passenger serves as the crew. If LESSEE is renting a double decker pontoon boat, LESSEE hereby agrees to designate one person on board to serve as the Captain of such boat and another passenger to serve as the Crew. Such Captain and Crew will advise the Coast Guard, FWC, or other law enforcement agency of their positions if asked. The LESSEE is responsible for all food, fuel and mores. No person under 18 years of age may sign a contract for rental of, or charter, Rental Craft. The Charter must take place during daylight hours only.

LESSEE may select and hire a Captain or Crew to operate the Rental Craft and shall pay such captain and crew directly. In order to ensure a minimum level of competency, any hired Captain must have completed an annual competency training that includes proper vessel operation, safety, training and area familiarization. As a courtesy, Crab Island Watersports provides training that meets these requirements and will provide you a list of at least three Captains who are competent to operate a vessel. It is important to understand that any Captain listed is not associated or employed by LESSOR at time of Charter. It is recognized that at any time, for cause, the LESSEE may discharge the Captain and any crew member. I Agree 24 Hr.
