The State of Ohio owns and operates the park and marina. Therefore we operate by booking online and will pick you up at a dock location that is best for you and your family. This will be confirmed prior to your arrival. For example, if you are staying at the park lodge or cabins we will bring the boat to you at the lodge docks. For someone driving in we will confirm either the lodge, marina, or we can do a water pickup at the beach.

No. However if you are born after Jan 1, 1982 the State of Ohio requires you to either have taken a boating safety course or take an abbreviated exam. For those individuals you will need to either: (A) Sign the designated section of the rental agreement stating that you have a boating certificate. (We do not request proof of the certificate however if you are checked by ODNR you should be prepared to submit evidence within 72 hrs). Or (B) Take the abbreviated 10-question multiple choice exam at check-in. Found here.

We do not cancel for overcast or light scattered showers. However we do cancel for severe weather and thunderstorms. In those cases we will do our best to contact you ahead of time. We will issue a full refund if your booking has to be cancelled.

We will make every effort to reschedule or cancel your booking if weather is not going to permit your boat rental. However there may be times that pop up storms are in the forecast and you find yourself on the lake for these durations. Here is some advice for those situations: If you are tubing in the main waters. STOP. get everyone in the boat immediately and take shelter under the bimini. Keep the engine running If visibility permits create a safe space. Move your vessel to a central area void of other boats or shoreline. Turn on the navigation lights and maintain adrift (in deep water). In this area it may be too deep to anchor. You will just want to use the engine to maintain your safe space but avoid drastic movement. If you are in the swim area or already anchored down of course you will simply keep position. If lightning is present there is no safe place on the water. Move all people to the center of shelter under the bimini. Do not touch any metal framing and do not be the tallest item on the lake. In the best case you will move the boat to a dock and exit the vessel for shelter; However it is not always possible. If visiblity is not present you should not move for the risk of hitting another vessel or person. In the heat of the summer it is not uncommon for pop up storms. It can be unnerving on the water but generally they will come and go. Stay calm. stay in communication with us. When the storm curtails many vessels tend to motion towards exiting the lake. This is a dangerous time to resume water sports activity. Allow some time and maintain exclusive distance before resuming activities.

Yes you may cancel you reservation and receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. It may take 5-7 business days to see the refund due to credit card processing times. If you cancel with short notice or no-show the booking you will be charged for the rental as we have already prepared it for your time.

If you create a user name/password than you will be able to cancel or reschedule by logging in. If you did not than you will just need to contact us by phone/text/email/or chat and we will take care of that for you.

Yes. Subject to availability we can grant additional time at a flat hourly rate of $85/hour. It is typically better to book the time you need in advance as our staff is scheduling around the bookings. For this reason we cannot match package rates when requesting more time on-demand. When requesting more time you will receive a link for payment that will need to be settled prior to your departure. Thank you!

Yes. A drivers license is required at the time of booking and for anyone in the party who will either A) Operate the watercraft or B) serve as a supervisor "look-out" for watersports activities.

We require you to be 25 years of age or older due to our insurance and coverages.

No you cannot use our rentals to pull your own towables. Insurance is very strict about the liability. If you wish to tube you must choose from equipment that has been inspected and supplied by Leisure Time Marine Rentals Ltd.

You cannot exceed the maximum number of people for which the watercraft is rated for in the booking. This includes children. If you plan to tube it is best to avoid loading the boat with several people. Keep in mind each person will reduce the speed of the vessel.

If you arrive late to your rental time we cannot adjust your time slot due to others reservations. You will have shortened time to enjoy your day and we do not prorate for your late arrive. If you return the boat late we will likely have another party waiting. Therefore it is important to be on time. Please pull anchor and plan to give yourself time to arrive back to the dock safely by your end time.

Children 10 and under must wear a lifejacket at all times on watercraft under 18 feet long.

Along with automated emails that guide you through the rental we will call you 24hours in advance to confirm your booking in person.

Generally we will bring the boat to the lodge docks 15 minutes prior to your rental time and have identifying apparel where we will be looking for your party.

We do not provide a captain with any of our rentals. This would be considered a "chartered" rental and although it is something we have considered we currently cannot provide it due to insurance and liability issues.
