Before reserving a Boat Rental, please carefully review the following information:
Boat Rental Skipper Agreement: By securing a Boat Rental with DC Sail, you will agree to the terms and conditions of our Boat Rental Skipper Agreement. Please click here to review.
Skipper & Crew (Guest): Make sure you have someone to sail with - they need not be a member of DC Sail, but should feel very comfortable on the water.
District of Columbia Boating Safety Certification: Please have your District of Columbia Boating Safety Certification card with you. You may be requested to present this document upon arrival.
Mandatory Face Coverings/Masks: All members and guests are strongly encouraged to wear face coverings/masks on the docks. Once underway, you may remove them until returning to the docks.
Life Jackets: Privately-owned Life Jackets will be required by the Member and their guest. We will be unable to share our Life Jackets in Rental situations. Please be advised that if you or your guest do not arrive with Life Jackets, which are required to be worn at all times while on the boat, your Rental will be automatically cancelled.
COVID-19 Contact Tracing: Rentals will require full contact information for your guest. Rentals without guest contact information will not be accepted.
Weather: Check the weather forecast. If you're not seeing conditions that you are comfortable sailing in, such as light air, or heat, please refrain from reserving the boat to leave it available for a fellow DC Sail member to secure.
Weather Cancellation: Please note that we will cancel and close the docks in the event of threatening weather or high winds. You will be notified by the Dock Manager as far in advance as possible the day of your Rental.
Payment: For Basic Members securing the Rental, payment is due at the time of registration. Please have your credit/debit card information on hand as unpaid registrations will be automatically cancelled by the system in 15 minutes from the time of registration.
Enjoy, be safe and aware while underway!
