How online booking works

Book from anywhere — phone, tablet, kitchen counter.

Pick the vessel. Pick the block. Card on file holds the slot. Waiver signs itself. Show up at the marina with a confirmation in your inbox.

  1. 01

    Pick the vessel + block

    BluMana, Tiki, Pontoon, Wake Boat, or one of three Wave Runners. Half-day, full-day, or hour.

  2. 02

    Card holds it

    Stripe charges a $100–$200 deposit to lock the slot. No deposit, no booking — solves no-shows.

  3. 03

    Waiver signs itself

    Dropbox Sign emails the rental waiver instantly. Sign on your phone — done before you leave the house.

  4. 04

    Show up + ride

    Confirmation in your inbox. Vessel fueled and prepped. Captain meets you at the dock for the BluMana.

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before your block. Damage deposit refunded after the vessel returns clean. Walk-ups still welcome at the dock if there's open availability.
