Frequently Asked Questions About Enjoy Boat Rentals
What are your operating hours and rental options?
Enjoy Boat Rentals is open daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, starting Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. We offer 4-hour and 8-hour rentals, as well as multi-day rentals upon request. For information about extended rental options, please contact us directly.
Who can rent a boat?
Renters must be at least 25 years old, have prior boating experience, and provide a valid credit card at the time of booking.
To operate a boat on Lake Michigan, you are required to have a NASBLA-approved boating safety certificate. Our boats are GPS-tracked, and entering Lake Michigan without the proper certification will result in forfeiture of your full deposit and may lead to additional penalties or legal action.
How do payments and deposits work?
For 4-hour rentals, we require a $150 deposit, while 8-hour rentals necessitate a $200 deposit. The remaining balance is due on the day of your rental. Deposits must be made using a credit card, not a debit card. Please be aware that we cannot hold a date without a reservation and the corresponding deposit.
Where do your rentals operate and what waterways can I explore?
Enjoy Boat Rentals operates from Coastal Zone Marina, located at 1719 Pennoyer Ave., Grand Haven, MI. We offer dedicated customer parking and convenient access to local waterways.
From our marina, you can explore Spring Lake and the Grand River. Access to Lake Michigan is also allowed, provided that weather conditions are safe (no Small Craft Advisory in effect) and the operator holds a valid NASBLA-approved boating safety certificate.
What should I bring with me for my rental?
We recommend bringing a valid photo ID and credit card for check-in and your security deposit. If you plan to operate on Lake Michigan, a NASBLA-approved boater safety certificate is required. You’ll also want to bring essentials like towels, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and appropriate clothing for the weather. Feel free to pack snacks and drinks (coolers are welcome, but please avoid glass containers). If you plan to swim or enjoy water sports, don’t forget your swimwear and an extra change of clothes. While we provide loaner life jackets, availability in all sizes isn’t guaranteed, and bringing properly fitted life jackets for young children is recommended. You’re also welcome to bring your own fishing gear, but please note that cleaning fish on the boat is not allowed.
What if I arrive/return late?
We ask that you arrive about 15 minutes early to allow time for check-in and a smooth departure.
If you arrive late, your rental time will not be adjusted, and the boat must still be returned at the originally scheduled time.
If the boat is returned late, a $25 late fee will be charged for every 10 minutes past the return time. This policy helps us stay on schedule for the rest of the day and provide a great experience for all guests.
What is the check in/out process?
Check-in and check-out take place at Coastal Zone Marina, located at 1719 Pennoyer Ave. in Grand Haven. You can plan to park right at the marina in our designated customer parking area.
Please allow about 15 minutes at both the start and end of your rental for a quick check-in and check-out process. At the beginning, we’ll walk you through safety procedures, go over boat operations, and answer any questions. At the end, we’ll help tie up the boat, inspect for any damage, and measure fuel usage.
For a smoother experience, we recommend having everyone in your group complete their waivers before arriving.
What is the weather policy?
If the weather on the day of your rental is unsafe for boating, such as during storms, high winds, or when a small craft advisory is in effect, you will be allowed to reschedule your rental for a future date with availability. When a small craft advisory is in place, boats are not allowed on Lake Michigan, but Spring Lake and the Grand River remain open and available for use.
If you choose to go out on a day when poor weather is in the forecast, that is at your own risk. Once the boat leaves the dock, the rental is considered final and you will not be eligible to reschedule or receive a refund.
What is the fuel policy?
Each boat goes out with a full tank of fuel. You will be charged for the fuel you use during your rental, plus a $10 refueling service fee. When you return, our team will measure how much fuel was burned and charge the cost to a card.
If you prefer to refuel the boat yourself, you may do so, but you must provide a same-day fuel receipt showing a full fill-up.
What are the operating hours and rental options at Enjoy Boat Rentals?
Enjoy Boat Rentals is open daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Rental options include 4-hour, 8-hour, and multi-day rentals upon request.
