Big Kahuna Policies

• A confirmed reservation will hold your vessel for up to 30 minutes after your scheduled departure time, after which it will be considered a "No Show" and the entire reservation fee will be forfeited.

• Mass quantities of alchohol, open flames, grill, or cooking equipment of any type is prohibited on all rental boats.
• Each rental boat leaves the dock with a full tank of fuel. Once the boat is returned and refueled the renter is responsible for the amount of fuel consumed during the rental time.

• If the following conditions exist on the lake; heavy rain lasting more than 45 minutes; lightening; tornado warnings; high wind advisories or any condition that State PArk Marina considers unsafe boating conditions, then the reservation fees will be credited. Weather credits or rain checks can only be given in person on the day of the rental and are based on actual weather conditions on the lake at the time of the rental not future weather forecasts.

Heads up: If you born after January 1st, 1984, it is required that all operators have a Missouri Boating Safety Certificate, or a NASBLA approved boaters license from another state (see below.)  

Don’t have one? We’ve got you covered -  guests can order and pay for their temporary boating safety identification card online for a 7-day temporary license.

Wondering if your current certificate or license will make the cut?

The State of Missouri will accept the following state agency and NASBLA approved certificates:

• A certificate issued by another State agency and NASBLA approved
• A certificate issued by the US Power Squadron
• A certificate issued by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary
• A valid commercial license issued by the US Coast Guard
