- You must contact the office on your radio at least an hour
in advance for assistance in returning to the marina. Insurance restrictions prohibit
going into any other marinas or docks other than Emerald Point. Our houseboats cannot be
driven after dark, but there are many isolated coves where you can enjoy an evening under
the Texas stars.
- The Lakeview Yacht will be fully fueled at the origination
point before departure. You are responsible for the fuel used during your rental.
- While on the lake, communication is always available via a
VHF ship to shore radio. For added convenience, your cellular phone can be plugged in at
the helm via cigarette lighter adapter or charged anywhere onboard with a standard 110v
charger.
- 10 adult life jackets are provided for emergency use only.
If you are bringing children, we require that you bring their personal life jackets.
- 24 hour on-call assistance
Reservations: This is a very seasonal business and reservations should be made as far in
advance as possible. Reservations will only be held with a 50% downpayment of your charter
fee including tax. The balance is due thirty (30) days prior to departure. We prefer
payment by check, but M/C, Visa and AMEX are also accepted. If paying by check, the
downpayment must be received no later than seven (7) days after the reservation is made or
the reservation will be canceled.
Cancellation Policy: If you must cancel, please notify us in writing at least 45 days
prior to your boarding date. Your payment will be refunded less a $ 500 cancellation fee.
Cancellations received less than 45 days prior to departure are subject to forfeiture of
total prepayment. If you must reschedule your vacation during the same year, there is a $
100 facilitating fee up until 45 days prior to your trip. Any rescheduling requests after
that date will be treated as a cancellation. We regret that we cannot make exception for
personal emergencies as a cause for cancellation. There are no rebates for late departures
or early returns.
Security Deposit: A $ 1000 security deposit is due prior to departure and does not
apply toward rental fee. Deposit will be refunded when refueling is completed and any
damages assessed. Inventories are checked prior to departure and again at end of charter.
Any items unaccounted for will be charged against deposit. All cooking gear is part of the
boat’s inventory. A cleaning fee of $200 will be assessed if the vessel is not
returned in reasonable condition.
Supplies: Fuel is additional on all charters and must be paid for at the Ship’s
Store. Linens and towels are issued for 10 people only. The Lakeview Yachts are equipped
with all of the necessities most people require. We recommend bringing whatever you may
need in the way of consumable kitchen supplies such as paper towels, paper plates, large
garbage bags etc. We stock the boat with special marine toilet paper, Kleenex, coffee
filters and dishwasher detergent. Otherwise, bring whatever personal items including bath
soaps, shampoos, suntan lotions, insect repellents, beach towels, fishing
equipment, binoculars, videos for the kids, floats, portable boombox, etc. you may need to
make your stay enjoyable. The boat has electric power just like your home; so feel free to
bring anything you would normally plug into an electrical outlet. It has been our
experience that most customers bring far too much clothing and food. Ice, beer,
soft-drinks and other typical convenience store items are for sale in the Ship’s
Store.
Special Provisions: Renter must be a responsible adult (21 or over). Departure times
are set in advance and must be adhered to unless special arrangements have been made at
least two weeks prior to rental date. Departing vessels must be boarded with all persons
and gear on board by 5:00 PM or vessel must stay dockside until 9:00 AM the following
morning. No vessel will be allowed in or out of the marina after dark. Late returns will
be charged at a rate of $ 150.00 per hour. Please be prompt with the return of your boat
so the next group can leave on time. No pets or fireworks are allowed onboard. The
interior of all Just For Fun Yachts is strictly non-smoking. The boats are set up for
sleeping 10 people. There is a charge of $ 20 per person over 10 (15 maximum). Maximum
daytime occupancy for parties is 30. If your boat is on the lake with more than the
approved number of persons, we reserve the right to board the vessel and return it to the
marina. Remainder of rental time will be forfeited and damages, cleaning fees, etc. will
be charged against deposit.
Anchoring overnight on the main body of the lake is
prohibited. Anchor in coves only. Boats must be operated in a safe manner and for the
purpose for which they are intended. Failure to comply with safe boating procedures will
cause remainder of rental time to be forfeited and damages, cleaning fees, etc. will be
charged against deposit. Night cruising is strictly prohibited. Allow yourself ample time
to reach your anchorage at least 1 hour before night fall. Upon departure and arrival, captain’s
check out is required.
