  • Have successfully completed a Virginia Boating Safety course (or NASBLA approved equivalent from another state)

  • Reserve the boat through the online system (below)
  • Follow state of Virginia and USCG navigation and boating regulations
  • Agree to accept financial responsibility for any damages to boat during use
  • Complete, and have all crew complete, the Waiver (required by insurance) and email to: [email protected]. Once the waiver is on file, you will not need to complete it for future boat uses.)
