Boat Goat FAQs

Your questions, our answers straight from the goat.

  • How many passengers can we have on the boat?
    Almost all boat charters are limited to 13 passengers. Some boat rental companies have a lower maximum. For larger parties we can arrange multiple Captains and boats. The Captain is NOT part of the total.
  • Does my child count as a passenger?
    YES!
  • What should we bring on our boat day?
    Coolers, drinks, snacks, sunscreen, towels if desired. PLEASE NO GLASS CONTAINERS!
  • Can we be picked up from our dock?
    Most of the time, YES, depending on location.
  • Can I get help finding a boat?
    YES! We will help find a boat rental for you.
  • Will your Captains drive our personal boat?
    YES!
  • Is it always 2 separate payments for Captain and boat rental?
    YES! If renting a boat, and hiring a captain, it legally has to be 2 separate transactions.
  • Is it customary to tip?
    YES. It is customary and appreciated to tip your Captain. Also please bring small bills to tip dock hands at restaurants and gas docks (normally $5 or $10 per dock hand, and 10% to 15% at gas docks).
  • What happens if the weather is bad the day of our trip?
    If it is lightning and storming the day of your trip, we will try our best to reschedule the time and/or day of your trip. If that cannot be accomplished, we will refund the Captains deposit. If it is only raining, with no lightning, we will still go out.
