Damage Waiver
provided by Dolphin Cove Marina
Covers Rental Boat Only

Renters Insurance
provided by Buoy Insurance

Learn about Buoy Renter Insurance

ALL INSURANCE & WAIVERS ARE OPTIONAL

The renter is responsible for any damage to the rented boat during the rental period. The damage waiver covers the first $1,000 in damages to the rented vessel caused by the renter. The renter is still responsible for any damage over $1,000. This does not cover any other boat damage, property damage, or death/personal injury. Failure to comply with waterway rules, Dolphin Cove Marina rules, and/or negligence is not covered by this waiver. This is not an insurance policy; it is only an agreement between the renter and Dolphin Cove Marina.

Renters insurance can be purchased upon check-in. You will be offered Renter's Insurance through Buoy upon check-in per Florida's law SB606. Insurance is highly recommended.

Ungrounding Coverage
provided by Dolphin Cove Marina

Normal ungrounding rates can range from $300-$800 plus gas, depending on location & hours.

Ungrounding examples may include being stuck on a sand bar or stuck on a beach due to shifting tides.

Ungrounding Coverage waives the fee as long as the renter is not out past dusk, does not violate marina rules, and is not negligent.

Trip Protection

Full refunds are given with a 48 hour (2 day) notice of cancellation prior to the departure date. Less than 48 hour notice (including weather-related) will receive a 25% refund OR you can reschedule at no extra charge. No-shows are non-refundable. Trip protection is available for purchase, allowing cancellation up to 8:30 a.m. on the departure day for a full refund less the trip protection. Trip protection can be purchased up to 48 hours before the rental period begins.

Cancellations must be done via text or email. Text to 239-289-8654 or email to dolphincovemarina@outlook.com. A refund is given if your reservation is canceled by Dolphin Cove Marina. We highly recommend trip protection.

Can I use my boater safety card from a different state?

If your boater safety card has the logo NASBLA on it or says it is approved by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF STATE BOATING LAW ADMINISTRATORS, it may be used in Florida.

Do your boats have GPS?

Yes, all of our boats have GPS and handmade charts. Please see the rental boats tab above to see the details and components in each boat.

How do we pay for fuel?

The boat leaves full. Upon return, we will top off the gas. You are responsible for whatever is used and will be charged on your card at return.

Do your boats have depth finders?

No, our boats purposefully do not have depth finders. Our experience has found that depth finders give renters a false sense of safety. Our depths go from deep to shallow in a hot second. Staying on our lined route & between the channel markers is your best depth finder to keep you off the sand bars and to avoid a tow. Tip - Use Navigation charts first, boat GPS second, and your phone GPS if you get turned around.

Do you furnish navigational charts?

Yes, we have detailed custom made charts with top destinations on them. Our experienced Dock Attendants will review our charts, safety equipment, boat operation & orientation checklists with you.

Can I stop at a beach?

Satilite Boating Map

Yes, you are allowed to go to the beaches designated with beach balls on the maps/charts. Do not go to any other beaches.

Can I tube or ski behind your boat?

No, boating in the Gulf is not like boating in a lake. It is too dangerous to ski or tube. No tubing or skiing is allowed at any rental company.

Do you offer renter's insurance?

Yes, you can purchase Renter's Insurance at check-in. Buoy offers renters insurance on our fleet.
