Is my payment secure?＋

Yes. All payments run through Stripe with bank-level encryption. Your card details never touch our servers.

What's the service fee?＋

Renters pay a small service fee at checkout that covers secure payments and support. It's shown before you confirm — no surprises.

Can I cancel?＋

Most boats offer flexible cancellation. The exact policy is shown on every listing before you book.

Do I need a boating license?＋

Arizona doesn't require a license for most rentals, but hosts may require a short safety briefing or an add-on captain. Details are on each listing.

How do hosts get paid?＋

Hosts connect a bank account via Stripe and receive automatic payouts after each completed trip, minus the platform fee.
