"Can I rent out a speedboat?"
Please note that any boat with an engine power exceeding 30hp requires a valid speedboat license. Ensuring compliance with this regulation is essential for the safety and proper handling of high-powered boats. If you plan to rent a boat with an engine capacity above 30hp, kindly ensure that you possess the necessary speedboat license to enjoy a smooth and worry-free experience on the water. Your safety is our priority, and we appreciate your understanding and adherence to these guidelines.
"What if we have never hired a boat before?"
Before you embark on your boat rental, you’ll receive a brief yet comprehensive induction training conducted by one of our experienced staff members. This valuable session will cover essential aspects of boat operation, mooring, and safety protocols to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
We kindly urge you to pay close attention during this crucial “teaching” time. Neglecting the instructions could lead to unfortunate consequences, resulting in damage to the boat or its engine, leading to an unpleasant experience and additional repair charges that are paid on site.
Please be aware that insurance provided only covers 3rd party accidents. Any damages caused by you to our boat or engine are not covered by insurance.

"How about the fuel? How is it paid? How much should I expect to pay?"
Fuel has been a concern for many, but not with us! We’ve got you covered. At the end of your day, we’ll take the hassle out of fuel calculations. Together, we’ll measure the exact fuel consumption, and you will only pay for what you’ve used!
Please note that fuel payments are to be made in cash as we do not sell fuel to maximize our earnings. Hence, kindly remember that “Fuel is paid in cash.”
Rest assured, we offer fair pricing. The fuel cost is the same as the fuel price at the Doukades Local BP Station, plus a nominal 10 cents extra for transportation.
Over the last 3 years, based on our boat usage, the average fuel consumption has ranged from 10 to 25 litres for the entire day. This estimate applies to driving at a normal speed.
With us, you’ll have a worry-free and transparent experience when it comes to fuel expenses!
