Important Boat Rental Policies:

• Boat renters must be 25 years old and have a valid driver's license to operate boats.
• Anyone wishing to rent a boat who is born on or after January 1, 1998 must have an official boating license regardless of age.
• Rates do not include gas and tax.
• A physical damage waiver is available for $20 and buys your deductible down to $500.
  (Without waiver the renter is responsible for the entire value of the boat.)
• A $1,000 deposit (credit card only) is required with all rentals that choose not to purchase the physical damage waiver and a $500 deposit is required for all rentals that do purchase the waiver.
• No grills permitted on boats.
• In some cases a clean-up fee may apply.
• Holidays and the days around them are subject to holiday pricing which may be higher than normal.
• A cancellation fee of 25% (max $500) will apply to all cancellations with a minimum of 72 hours advance notice.
• All cancellations require at least 72 hours notice.  No refund will be given without 72 hours notice.
• Marina reserves the right to deny boat rental to any person and may restrict rental due to weather.

Cancellation Policies

• A cancellation received with greater than a 72-hour notice including for personal emergencies, will result in a 25% cancellation fee (maximum of $500). The cancellation fee will be deducted from the reservation fee. A refund of the balance will be issued to the credit card used to secure the reservation.
• A cancellation received with less than a 72-hour notice or a "no show" including for personal emergencies, will forfeit the entire reservation fee.
• Cancellation fees will be waived only if the following conditions exist on Lake Hartwell at the time of the rental: heavy rain lasting more than 45 minutes; lightning; tornado warnings; high wind advisories or any condition that Harbor Light Marina considers unsafe boating conditions.
