Maine’s coastal waters are littered with hazards to navigation, and prone to fog, shifting winds, changing tides and currents, all of which can be challenging to even experienced boaters. The renter must provide evidence satisfactory to DBR of their knowledge and ability to operate and navigate the selected boat properly, safely, and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including the “rules of the road,” and may be subject to a “check out” trip with one or more DBR representatives aboard. Should we choose not to continue the rental, a full refund will be issued immediately. DBR’s acceptance of the renter does not absolve the renter of their full responsibilities as master of the vessel. 

DBR reserves the right to refuse rental in the event of prevailing or anticipated bad weather or reduced visibility, or if the renter or any member of their party appears intoxicated or otherwise in-capable of, ill-equipped or ill-prepared for, boating. 

**The security deposit will be refunded in full if the boat is returned on time and in the same condition as it was checked out (see note about fuel charges below). Return of the deposit may be pro-rated if the boat is not returned on time, if the boat is damaged or equipment is missing, or if fuel is needed. In case of a partial refund, amounts returned would be by check mailed to the supplied mailing address. In some circumstances, return of the deposit may take up to 72 hours to process. 

The boats are supplied with a full tank of fuel. The renter is responsible for refueling. DBR will refuel at a rate of $7.00 per gallon. The fuel tank holds 27 gallons. 

Renter agrees to adhere to the navigation limits indicated on the supplied chartlet. In general, DBR boats are rented for use on Damariscotta Lake only. 

Boating in DBR rental boats is restricted to daylight hours only, and rentals are expected to be returned by 5:00 PM on the last day of the rental period. 

Maine State Law requires that children under the age of 11 must wear an appropriately fitted lifejacket at all times when boating; we strongly encourage all members of the renter’s party to wear lifejackets. 

The renter acknowledges that DBR is not responsible for the security or safety of any personal effects during the rental period. 

The renter acknowledges that boating, swimming, and other waterfront activities have an inherent risk of damage and injury, including the possibility of permanent disability, paralysis, or death. Renters and visitors using the dock, boats, swimming or exploring the shore do so entirely at their own risk. Dam Boat Rental, LLC, and their lessors, contractors, employees, and officers, will not be responsible for injury, including death, to any person, nor for damages to any person’s property, sustained as a result of use of these boats or waterfront facilities. 

The renter agrees on behalf of all members of the renter’s party and any visitors or guests of the renter’s party, to release, hold harmless, and indemnify Dam Boat Rental, LLC, its lessors, contractors, employees, and officers from any and all liability or claims, including those of third parties, arising out of or in any way a result of renter’s or any guest’s use of our boats, waterfront facilities, equipment, or grounds to the fullest extent allowable by law.
