You will receive a refund for inclement weather only, and is determined by Retro Boat Rentals. We recognize it's no fun to be on a boat in the rain. If it’s just cool or cloudy, we recommend sweatshirts or blankets, it’s still an enjoyable experience. There are no refunds for cancellations that are not due to rain, but we're willing to work with you to re-book an appointment or provide a gift certificate for your next boat outing. There are no refunds for no shows, or for cancelling for reasons other than weather.

Allow pets : YES

Note : We have several boats that are pet friendly, usually Jane or Beverly.  Our boats change from season to season, so check with us ahead of time and we’ll book you on the right boat for you and your pup.  We love Boat Dogs!

Note : No.  Again, these are not speed boats and are not meant for tubing or skiing. Alcohol must be purchased at The Old Boat House, Retro Boat Rentals.  All state of Michigan laws related to the consumption of alcohol on a boat apply. It depends on the boat.  Some of our boats are easier to get in and out of than others. Talk to us ahead of time and we can steer you in the right direction depending on your plans for the boat outing.  Generally speaking, 3 hour boat rides are better for anchoring and swimming.  We don’t allow customers to anchor our boat Lola, she’s very rare and special. Because our Retro Boats are rare, we ask that you do not dock at the Red Dock.  Unfortunately, their docks don’t have the proper protection for our boats.  If you have rented a pontoon from us, feel free to dock at the Red Dock.  The Donut Boats are up to Tony at the Red Dock, sometimes he’s okay with it, sometimes he’s not.
