Can I pay cash for the rental?

Customers are required to pay for their rental via CC now, in full, at time of booking.

*All credit cards must match the ID of the person responsible for the reservation.

Can we split the payment between multiple people?

We ask that only one person be responsible for the rental itself. 

What is the cancellation policy?

All bookings are non-refundable. The only exceptions are inclement weather which would cause the cancellation of all rentals during the period of inclement weather. In this case your rental payment will be refunded in full minus the booking fee collected at the time of booking. Inclement weather will be determined by the Beavers Bend Marina staff. As an example, it could be raining in the morning but clearing up by noon. All bookings starting after noon would not be cancelled and it is your responsibility to show up for the rental. We therefore encourage you to check the weather and contact us at the marina via e-mail or phone to determine the status of your rental.

Is a security deposit required?

The security deposit has been replaced by the $49 Damage Waiver.

What if I haven't received my email confirmation?

Please check your spam/junk folder.  If you haven’t received your confirmation, please email us at marina@beaversbendmarina.com.

Are there full day or half day rates for boat/Sea-Doo rentals?

We offer NO discounts for full or half day rentals. Each rental is charged by the hour.

Are we allowed to switch people out on the dock?

No, due to safety. There is a lot of traffic around our dock. We recommend renting enough capacity for your party. If you are wanting to switch Sea-Doo drivers we recommend renting a boat along with the Sea-Doo so that you can go back to the boat and switch out there.

Do you offer military Discounts?

Yes. A 10% military discount is given if someone in the party shows a military ID.

How early should I arrive for my rental?

We ask you to be here 30 minutes ahead of your scheduled time.

Life jackets are provided with the rental. You are also allowed to bring your own if you wish, and they must be Coast Guard approved. View their regulations on their website by clicking here.

Children 12 and under are required to wear their life jackets the entire time that they are on the boat.

Is fuel included in the boat/Sea-Doo reservation?

All watercraft are full of fuel when you depart on your rental. You will be charged only for the fuel you use.  We put a hold on your account for estimated fuel charges and then charge your card at the end of your visit once we refuel the tank.

On average, how much fuel does the boat/Sea-Doo use?

It is nearly impossible to give an accurate quote on fuel consumption. There are many variables to consider (weight, water conditions, wind speed, speed, etc.).

How many people can I have on my boat?

Each boat has a specific maximum capacity. This may not be exceeded at any time. Oklahoma Lake Patrol counts heads. Even an infant counts as 1 person. Safety first! If you violate the law, you could be ticketed.

Is it possible to extend time on a rental?
Yes, if the rental does not have another reservation behind it. The sooner we know, the better. If you happen to be on the lake, call us to check and see if anyone else has the boat reserved behind you. We will do our best!
What if the weather is bad?

We do not charge a cancellation fee for bad weather. If you return early because of weather, we will pro-rate. If the weather is bad and you willingly go out in it, we will not pro-rate.

Do you provide a captain to drive the boat or offer guided tours?

No, you will captain your own boat, and we do not offer guided tours.
