Here are a few important things to know before reserving your Weeki Reserve boat rental.
Each rental includes 48 hours on the water. Standard delivery is at 9 a.m., with pickup at 9 a.m. two days later. Exceptions may be available when arranged with the manager in advance.
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.
The renter assumes responsibility for the boat from the time it is delivered until it is picked up. The renter is responsible for damage that occurs during the rental period, as outlined in the rental agreement.
Yes, but the rental must still conclude by 5 p.m. If you keep the boat for the complete rental period, pickup will occur at the scheduled time.
Cancellation fees may apply depending on how close the cancellation is to the reservation date. Please review the rental agreement or contact us for complete cancellation terms.
