Answers to the Frequently Asked Questions:
Top Questions:
Can I go swimming off of
the pontoon boats?
No.
Do I need a special
licence to drive a boat?
Nope. All you need is a
valid drivers licence for your country.
Are dogs allowed on the pontoon
boats?
Yes, if they are
friendly and have a leash, but they are
absolutely not allowed on the seats or upholstery and they are counted
as one of the passengers. Also you are responsible for any messes they
may make on the boat.
What is the age limit?
On the pontoon boats?
There are no age restrictions for riders.
On kayaks or
stand-up paddleboards? Users must be 6 years old or older
to leave the shore.
Can I drink on the boat?
Everyone can drink
except the driver or underage passengers. We also don't allow any glass
bottles.
Can I stop by the dock at our
hotel/cabin to pick up friends?
Unfortunately, no.
Drop-offs and pick-ups can only be arranged at our rental
dock.
Can I tow this (wakeboard, tube,
kneeboard, etc)?
No, but if you are
interested in doing a watersport you should check out Big
Bear Watersports; for almost the same price as a regular boat
rental, you get a captain, a dedicated tow boat, tips or lessons, and
still get to be out on the lake.
What are the Lake
rules?
Check
out the Big Bear Lake Mountain Dispatch Rules and Regulations Here
Pontoon Boats
What
is the damage deposit on
pontoon or fishing boats?
$350.00. An imprint of your card or cash is held when you arrive and
returned upon the damage-free return of the boat. If there is no damage
or cleaning needed, the deposit won't even show up on your credit card
so there is no holding/release period.
Can I park the pontoon
boat on a beach?
No.
Can
I bring a cooler or food
on board?
Absolutely. Please don't leave a mess though.
Do I have to wear a
lifejacket on a pontoon boat?
California Law requires
that children aged 12 and under must wear a personal flotation device.
Adult are welcome to wear a lifejacket if they would like however it is
not required. Every boat has more than enough lifejackets under the
seats.
Can I bring my barbecue?
Fire + gasoline boat +
insurance companies and lawyers ... we cannot allow
barbecues.
What
counts as a
passenger?
The lake patrol defines a passenger as anyone with a heartbeat
including dogs.
Fishing Boats
What does it mean "400lbs"?
(We actually get asked
this all the
time) It means the total weight of all the passengers should
not
exceed 400lbs. This usually means 2 adults and a child or maybe an
adult and 3 kids. Or you and 4 dogs. Whatever ends up under
400lbs
works.
Kayaks and Stand-up Paddleboards
What
is the damage deposit on
kayaks or stand-up paddleboards?
$100.00.
An imprint of your card or cash is held when you arrive and returned
upon the damage-free return of the boat. If there is no damage or
cleaning needed, the deposit won't even show up on your credit card so
there is no holding/release period.
Do I have to wear a
lifejacket on a kayak or stand-up
paddleboard?
Big Bear Lake Patrol
requires that everyone wear a personal flotation device while on a
kayak or paddleboard
How
far can I go?
So
long as you stay between the 5mph buoys and the shore, you can paddle
as far as you want. Just don't forget that you have to paddle back!
