Payment is required in full at the time of reservation.
Do you require a damage deposit?
We do not collect a damage deposit, but for powerboat rentals, a credit card is required for pre-authorization of $1000 in advance of your outing. No charges will be applied to the credit card unless equipment is lost or damaged during your outing.
What is your cancellation policy?

Reservations cancelled less than 7 days in advance of reservation date will result in a 100% cancellation fee. You can ONLY cancel your reservation by CALLING the office at 803-407-2929.
Can I fish from your Kayaks, and do I need a fishing license?
Yes, all of our Kayaks are fishing friendly and equipped with 2 rod holders. State law requires you to carry a fishing license. Go to http://dnr.sc.gov to get more information.
Do I need experience?
No experience is needed. We will provide you with some basic instruction and guidance prior to launching.
Do I have to wear my life jacket?
Absolutely! Each participant must sign a waiver stating that you will wear your life jacket throughout your rental. The life jacket will keep you afloat even if you are tired or cold, and is a critical piece of safety gear. It is very difficult to put on a life jacket when you're in the water, so it MUST be worn all the time.
Can I bring food in the kayak?
Of course! You are welcome to bring food and stop along the way for a picnic or just a snack.
