Additional Costs

Any additional costs or charges are subject to HST of 13%. Fuel and propane is the expense of the Charterer and must be paid at the end of the houseboat vacation (average $250/trip). All rentals include one 16′ Lund Fishing Boat (motor extra).

For safety reasons, we require that the fishing boat has a motor – 25HP minimum on 49′, 58′ and 68′ and 15HP minimum on 44′. The Charterer may bring his own, or rent one from us. Charterer may also tow their own personal boat and motor, if they prefer. The reason for the extra boat is that in the event of an emergency the Charterer has the ability to do something about it immediately. Having an extra boat along also makes exploring, fishing and touring more enjoyable!

** Damage Deposit – $750.00 damage deposit will be added to the houseboat rental. It is retained until the end of the trip and will be refunded to the Charterer less any fuel and propane used, and, of course assuming no damages have occurred.

** Security Deposit – Prior to boarding the houseboat, we require a Security Deposit in the amount of $1500.00. We accept a Visa or MasterCard to process the Security Deposit / pre-authorization in the amount of $1500.00 to cover and or be applied to any possible damages, which is in addition to the $750.00 damage deposit. We will process the credit card pre-authorization (with authorized signature) as a pre-authorization. The pre-authorization will be released upon the return of the houseboat and all contents and optional rental items in the original condition at the start of the houseboat rental and in an acceptable state of cleanliness. A cleaning charge will be applied to an excessively unclean houseboat or items.

Cleaning – All houseboats are supplied clean and must be returned clean. An extra charge will be applied for houseboats returned unclean. Cleaning charges:
44′ $250.00; 49′ $375.00; 58’ $450.00; 68’ $650.00.

Recycling and garbage if not separated $25 charge per garbage bag.

There is a $95.00 surcharge per pet.
