All renters complete the same universal waiver during checkout. You will be asked to confirm and sign your full legal name after submitting a booking — before paying the deposit.

Universal Liability Waiver & Release of Claims By booking, boarding, or participating in any activity with Bay Harbor Boat Rentals, the undersigned renter (“Renter”) and all guests agree to the following terms. Renter acknowledges that boating and water-related activities involve inherent risks, including but not limited to injury, illness, death, slips, falls, drowning, collisions, weather conditions, water hazards, and the actions of other passengers or third parties. Renter voluntarily assumes all risks, both known and unknown. Renter hereby releases, waives, and agrees to hold harmless Bay Harbor Boat Rentals, its owners, employees, captains, affiliates, and contractors from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses arising from participation in any boating activity, including but not limited to personal injury, death, property damage, or loss, to the fullest extent permitted by law, including claims arising from negligence. Renter agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bay Harbor Boat Rentals from any claims, damages, losses, or legal actions brought by any guest in renter’s party or any third party arising out of renter’s use of the vessel or conduct during the rental period. Renter accepts full responsibility for all guests on board and agrees to ensure that all individuals comply with safety instructions, rules, and applicable laws. Renter is financially responsible for any damage to the vessel, its equipment, or any third-party property caused by renter or any guest. The captain maintains full authority at all times and may terminate the trip without refund in the event of unsafe, illegal, or disruptive behavior, including excessive intoxication. The captain may also modify or change the route, duration, or destination of the trip due to weather conditions, safety concerns, or operational requirements. Alcohol consumption is permitted unless otherwise stated; however, illegal drugs are strictly prohibited. Any violation of this policy may result in immediate termination of the trip without refund. Renter agrees to be responsible for all damages, excessive cleaning fees, or losses resulting from misuse, negligence, or failure to follow instructions. Trips may be rescheduled or modified due to unsafe weather conditions at the sole discretion of Bay Harbor Boat Rentals or the captain. Light rain, cloudy conditions, or minor weather changes do not qualify for cancellation. Late arrivals may result in reduced rental time, and no-shows may result in forfeiture of the booking without refund. Bay Harbor Boat Rentals is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged personal property brought on board. Renter authorizes emergency medical treatment in the event of injury or illness and agrees to be responsible for any related medical costs. Renter agrees that a security deposit may be required and authorizes Bay Harbor Boat Rentals to charge the card on file for any damages, losses, excessive cleaning, overtime, or violations of this agreement. Renter further authorizes charges for any unpaid balances, incidentals, or additional fees incurred during or after the rental period. All bookings are subject to a cancellation policy. Deposits and payments may be non-refundable unless otherwise stated. Rescheduling may be offered at the discretion of Bay Harbor Boat Rentals based on availability and circumstances. Failure to comply with cancellation terms may result in forfeiture of all payments made. Renter agrees that any disputes arising from this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida and applicable United States maritime law. Any legal action must be brought exclusively in the appropriate courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. By completing a booking, the renter confirms they are at least 18 years of age, have read and fully understand this agreement, and voluntarily agree to all terms on behalf of themselves and all guests in their party. This agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties and cannot be modified except in writing by Bay Harbor Boat Rentals.
