For example:

- If a captain is onboard, that means up to 7 guests plus the captain.
- A boat with a maximum capacity of 12 can carry 12 total people.
- If a captain is onboard, that means up to 11 guests plus the captain.

Do not interpret the listed maximum capacity as the number of guests allowed in addition to a captain.

A valid driver's license is required.

The name on the driver's license must match the card on file.

Customers who do not want to operate the boat themselves can hire a captain.
