How marina inquiries work

Held by the date. Confirmed by the team.

Pick the vessel. Pick the date. Inside 90 days we hold it 48 hours while our marina team confirms availability and fits you to the right block; further out we take it as a request. No card until you say yes.

  1. 01

    Pick a boat + a day

    BluMana, Pontoon. Tell us a date and how long.

  2. 02

    We hold the date

    Inside 90 days, the moment you submit that boat is held for the whole day — up to 48 hours — while we review. Further out we take it as a request and confirm by hand. The form shows dates already requested so you don't pick a busy one.

  3. 03

    Team confirms within 48 hrs

    Marina office checks fleet + weather, then emails you a secure payment link that locks your time block.

  4. 04

    Pay online + show up

    Pay through the link to confirm your booking and sign the rental waiver from your phone. Captain meets you at the dock for the BluMana.

Rentals start at 10am; boats are back by the 8pm dock close. Every boat goes out fueled — fuel's included, no surcharge when you return. Self-drive rentals: full refund 7+ days ahead · 50% refund 48 hrs – 7 days · no refund inside 48 hours. The BluMana charter runs on its own tiers — full refund 14+ days ahead, 50% 7–14 days, none inside 7. Damage deposit refunded after the vessel returns clean. Walk-ups still welcome at the dock if there's open availability.

Dock Services

Pull up to the dock.

Top off the tank, or tie off and come inside for a cold drink and a bite. Open to anyone on the water.

Dockside Fueling

Pull right up and we fuel you up — no hauling gas cans down to the water.

Tie Off & Come In

Grab a slip, walk up to The Hillside, and settle in for a cold drink and something off the kitchen.
