- Always make sure that any passenger under the age of 13 is wearing a coast-guard approved life vest while the boat is in motion. We also recommend any passenger who can not swim wear a life vest at all times.
- Always wear a life vest when swimming from the boat
- Always leave buoys outside the boat

GAS/SECURITY DEPOSIT: There is a $150 gas deposit required for all rentals. Boats that are returned with a full tank and undamaged will be refunded the full $150. For those boats returned with a below full tank, missing equipment, or any damage – renters will forfeit their deposit.
OVERNIGHT & MULTI-DAY FEES: Renters who wish to keep the boat at their dock for multiple days or overnight will be charged the daily rate plus $100 for the first night and plus $50 for each additional night. Noah’s landing offers an evening rental at $300/evening. When keeping the boat overnight, we are unable to rent it for that block of time – thus the $50-$100 discounted evening cost to our multi-day renters.
LATE RETURNS: $25 Fee for every 15 minutes you arrive past your designated time. In order to provide the best customer service, we work hard to stay on schedule. Late returns cause delays for other renters and often create issues at the boat ramps.
DAILY RENTAL: Pick up times are scheduled in 15 minute intervals from 7 AM – 9 AM and returned 8 hours from pick up.

All boaters 13 and younger are required to have a life vest on while the boat is in motion. All boaters must wear a life vest when swimming from the boat. Wearing a life jacket when swimming and boating is always the safest option for boaters of all ages.
