ワシントン州レイクユニオンを探検しよう！📍 エンクロージャー ☔️😎✅ トイレ 💩✅⚓️✅ ⛽️ OnMyTime ✅ 29' 🛥️

By booking, taking possession of the vessel, you automatically agree to the following: Operating vessel: We will go over safety information in person. This is NOT a speed boat, it is a cruiser. Single engine vessel: this is not the boat for you if you are wanting to go fast. No towables, watersports etc. I do have a bow rider boat with watersports tower that can be rented and for experienced operators, towables, watersports could be allowed on that boat. It’s a legal NO WAKE zone/7 knots speed limit from Ballard Locks to Lake Union/Ship Canal to the 520 bridge/Webster Point (entrance to Lake Washington). Be careful so a ticket doesn’t ruin your day! If heading out to Lake Washington, when traveling through Union Bay, stay in the main channel or to the left all the way past Webster point before turning right, to the south. There are shallow places with under water pilings that can cause severe damage. Note: it takes 45 minutes to get from Union Bay to the starting point in South Lake Union. Once on Lake Washington I have a vessel speed limit of 15 knots if you only have a few passengers, otherwise, if a large load of passengers, a lower speed applies. It is easiest to follow the speed limit by RPMs, please ask what max and best cruising RPMs to run engine at depending on load. It is possible for an exception to be made depending on passenger load/skill set of renter and comfortability of owner. The engine(s) suffer much wear being a rental boat and any higher speed greatly reduces the life of the engine in addition to owner not knowing the true skill set of individual renters knowledge of planing/using trim tabs properly and the fact of speed leading to increased safety issues and dramatically higher gas consumption which comes with an uncomfortable sticker shock. I have remote boat monitoring including GPS & speed tracking so please understand this rule is to be strictly followed. If rule is blatantly and obviously broken there could be a $500 fee which goes towards future necessary mechanical work. Please provide a backup contact person/phone number for me to reach the boat in case your phone is out of reach or you are distracted. Communication is critical to ensure a great experience! Safety Equipment: The lifejackets are in the compartment on the left side of the boat. Pull the compartment doors down from the top with fingers to access. The throwable cushion is in the rear left compartment as well as more life jackets. The flare kit, a first aid kit, throw rope, other safety gear are in the safety supplies cabinet next to steps going down into cabin. The orange swimmer flag and a boat hook are readily accessible. The horn is operational at the helm via a switch. A backup horn is in the safety supplies cabinet. The fire extinguisher locations: to the right rear of captain seat, mounted on the wall above safety supplies cabinet and more in the safety supplies cabinet. For rentals in evening hours: please turn on by pressing the top of switch forward, at dusk the NAVIGATION light switch on the far left side of helm, to the left of the steering wheel. DO NOT turn on any other switches on accident as it could burn out the bilge pumps or accidentally trim the engine into trailer mode etc. Other equipment: There are two tables stowed down in the cabin. There is an inflator for blow up inflatables. There is a multi-type charging cable to the right of the captain chair. The entire seating area of the boat has a full zip-in windowed enclosure for cooler/rainy days. Insurance: The rental does not come with any insurance provided by the site, if you booked on any platform. Insurance is accessible by the Owner only which has a renter endorsement. Renter agrees by taking possession of the vessel to be immediately liable for the first $3,000 in damages before pursuing any such insurance claim to prevent an inundation of insurance claims caused by renters which would in turn would cause higher premiums and potentially being dropped by insurance carriers. If an insurance claim is filed and in the event insurance will not cover an incident for whatever hypothetical reason, the renter is completely liable for any and all damages to the vessel, other vessels and structures, contents of vessel, damages to other’s property, injuries, death that occurs do to any incident while under the control, possession of the renter even if the renter is away from the vessel, during the rental period. Renter understands by taking possession of vessel, renter waives all rights for any suit against and all liabilities to vessel owner and understands renter is solely liable for the complete cost of damages to vessel caused by renter or anyone else including other vessels causing damage to the vessel, vessels contents, damage to any other’s property, the health and safety of renter’s self, any of renters passengers and anyone renter may encounter during the duration of the rental. If an insurance claim is filed and denied, or the costs exceed insurance limits, and in the event of any injuries to any parties, renter understands all medical costs are the renters responsibility and liability and the owner is not to be liable in any way whatsoever. The owner of the vessel may choose completely and solely at owner’s discretion to offer to limit damages sustained to vessel to the full amount of owner’s insurance policy’s deductible and any other incidental costs associated with making a claim. However, if damage affects future rentals or for any reason at owner’s discretion, complete costs of damages, medical bills, or any incident caused by renter or renter’s guests will be solely and completely renter’s financial responsibility and fully liable for any incidents and costs of loss of usage for future canceled rentals due to damage caused during the rental. Pickup location/process: We will be meeting at the public dock/walkway at the GPS location sent via text message. In an extenuating circumstance we might have to meet at Lake Union Piers, Lake Union Park or the Sunnyside Ave N Boat ramp/dock in northeast Lake Union or another possible location. Owner will communicate if a backup location is needed in advance of rental. Please note the pickup location may have to be changed from these locations depending on circumstances. Most likely, I or my assistant will shove the boat away from the dock after going over everything you need to know about the boat and possibly after doing a demonstration docking of how to slowly approach the dock at the end of the rental. PLEASE DO NOT APPROACH the dock until we communicate and that I or my assistant is waiting for you at the dock.  Boat rules: Be respectful of other boats and noise levels especially in marina/dock area. No pets. Please remove shoes and keep under rear seat on single engine vessel or in rear exterior cabin on dual engine vessel. No sitting/leaning/jumping off bow deck railing or sitting on bow deck hatch. Do not allow any passengers to stand on the bow deck while the boat is in motion or while stopped to protect the structural integrity of the bow deck. The only time people should stand is moving to and from the area.  For safety and to prevent damage, no standing on swim platform while the engine is on and please never sit on top backrest of rear seating. Follow legal requirements for children wearing life jackets where applicable. When engine is off, maximum of 3 people standing on swim deck as a weight limit exists. No smoking, vaping and no drugs. Be aware that waterways are patrolled by the Coast Guard and possessing marijuana is still a federal crime. No tying up to other boats and absolutely no docking unless asking for and granted permission first as the risk of damage is greatest in these two situations which has happened in the past. Please inform me if you plan to anchor so I can let you know the two spots you can anchor the boat. I’ve had renters lose money due to losing the anchor and line by anchoring in the wrong location. Be careful to stay in the main channel and away from the south shore towards the 520 bridge and only maneuver boat under main tall passageways. I’ve had a renter break the propeller disabling the boat completely by going in shallow waters next to a dock. Absolutely no docking at the Madison Beach Dock. Boat may not go on the Puget Sound through the locks due to much greater risks and future rental time constraints.  Gas/Extra time: Gas is paid in cash or electronically at the end of the rental. The minimum (depending on usage, could be higher): $64 per rental hour on single engine vessel. Gas can be more than the minimum especially on half day trips if the engine is run the full 4 hours and the trip includes circling Mercer Island for example which usually means the engine is run at a higher RPMs. It currently costs about $800 for a full tank. I have minimums as it takes quite a bit of work and extra time to keep refilling the boat which I or my assistant does instead of other rental companies which make the renter spend too much of their rental time on refilling the gas. My process leads to happier customers and less damage to the boats since constant docking isn’t required. If payment for fuel or extra time is not sent same day as rental an additional charge of 20% of owed balance will be added. Cleaning: Entire boat must be returned in same clean condition as provided. You must use a provided boat towel located in cabinet to the left of bathroom door, slightly dampen and scrub all decking and seats upon return and best to do after most have stepped off boat. Cleaning wipes, cleaners, rags, paper towels, vacuum are all provided. Keep wet clothes and feet out of cabin to keep carpet and upholstery dry. Please keep any dark liquids outside and not in the cabin. No red wines as when spilt is difficult to impossible to remove. No open containers in cabin so spills won’t get on carpet or upholstery. No pets allowed. Please again, no smoking. If the boat is left dirty, carpets soaking wet, or smoking occurs there will be $100 minimum cleaning fee. If any bodily fluids need to be cleaned, minimum $200 cleaning fee. Any stains to upholstery will incur a $750 fee for reupholstering. Music: The boat has Bluetooth. Press the top left button on music unit to turn on the device. The Bluetooth name is “Dual BT”. The passcode is 1234. Toilet: The bathroom toilet has a holding tank on the boat which can fill fast, make sure to follow these instructions to flush. There is a handle that you pull and press up and down to flush. To flush pee, there is a lever behind the handle, move lever to the right to flush pee. Move lever to the left to flush poop and to add some water to bowl. Don’t use lever on left to flush pee. The toilet can easily over flow this way leaving a mess all over the bathroom. Always return the lever to the right for safety. There is extra toilet paper in upper cabinet. The light switch is on the wall. Make sure not to press the red switch which is the shower drain pump. Water pumps should never run without flowing water through them. To turn on the water pump to wash hands in sinks, press red switch above kitchenette counter left side. Late fees: 10-29 minutes late $200. 30 minutes or more up to $1,000 if another booking is affected/canceled. Cancellations: Please note my cancellation policy is the same whether on the platforms or directly booked through me: -Free cancellations until 30 days before the booking start date. -50% refund for cancellations between 14-30 days before the booking start date. -Cancellations within 14 days of the booking start date are non-refundable.  Rescheduling and Weather: I do not offer the ability to reschedule to another date. The boat has a full zip-in enclosure and goes out in Seattle’s unpredictable weather. Seattle has variable weather and clouds and rain are a constant part of life here so unfortunately I can’t accommodate rescheduling or refunds for cancellations due to rain and clouds.
