They can be used for exploring shallow waters, a variety of water activities & sports such as fishing, wakeboarding, scuba diving, or the transportation of guests and provisions to/from shore.

The first step is checking the tenders' availability. Once confirmed, your itinerary details and preferences will be discussed to fit your needs and determine all of the associated costs. 

Anyone can rent a tender however ONLY people who carry a USCG Merchant Marine Credential and are verified as operators on the Rental Agreement are permitted to operate the tender.

If cancelled within 72 hrs, the deposit will be held & credited towards a future rental within 1 year of the original rental period.
