We require a $1500 damage deposit authorization hold via credit card with proof of valid drivers license.
We also require that the driver/renter must be 30 years of age or older with boating experience.
We ask that all of our renters get the California boater’s card, as it provides vital information on boating.
On top of us requiring the California boater’s card, we also go through a detailed walkthrough process to ensure you and your group have a safe and successful rental.
As of the dates shown below, these boaters will be required to carry a boater card issued by DBW, unless they meet certain exemptions.
