If a storm forms return to slip, lightning and swells can form rapidly.  Storms often pass quickly and possibly allow you time to return to your fun.  If you decide to remain out with the above weather conditions you are at your own risk and responsible for your own safety, security, risk and liabilities and those of the passengers on board..

Be sure to distribute weight evenly in the boat particularly with large groups.  In rough water distribute more weight in back to keep the bow “front” of boat elevated.  Approach large swells/waves from a 45 degree angle and not head on.  In a head on approach boat can “nosedive” into the water.

RETURN TIME: Reminder, Boat (s) must be returned on or before scheduled arrival time. Any late returns are charged at $200 per hour extra and we do not prorate.  Example:   15 minutes late = $200. 1PM means on or before 1PM, late fees start 5 minute past arrival time, please be courteous to the next renter, as your vessel may be scheduled for an upcoming guest.  You can always call and see if the boat is available for an extended period.

FUEL: Gas tank is full upon departure.  A representative of Frisky will refill any used gas to a full tank and the credit card on file will be charged. Good rule of thumb, 1/3 out 1/3 back 1/3 for emergencies.



Do not go outside of the areas discussed, these areas are noted in your binder as a reference.  Do NOT go into the Gulf of Mexico. If you venture out of the required areas, you will be at your own risk and if you need assistance, please contact the US Coast Guard. Your boat is equipped with a GPS, use it and do not get into water that is less than 3 feet, be aware of depths many areas are shallow.   If you go under the Bob Sikes Bridge go under the middle, this is the pass through for boats and this will prevent you getting tangled in fishing lines or bridge structure.



DAMAGES: Replacement cost $500.00 plus time and charges. Check for damage to prop, hull, motor and ladder, etc... damage will be billed based on repair and loss of business while being repaired.  Repair costs are billed at $125.00 per hour plus parts/materials/tax.
