The 48-hour rental is $1,000, about $21 per hour. Longer rental periods may be available in eight-hour increments.

Free delivery is available to rental homes located along the Weeki Wachee River. Delivery within approximately 10 miles of the river may also be available for an additional fee.

The renter must be at least 25 years old and complete the required FWC renter course. Only the person who signs the rental agreement may operate the boat.

The boat will arrive with a full tank of fuel. At the end of the rental, the tank will be refilled and the renter will be charged $5 per gallon for the fuel used.

The boat is equipped with safety equipment, AM/FM radio, and Coast Guard-approved equipment. Renters should review all provided safety materials before leaving the dock.
