Summit and Shore Alliance Boat Rental Agreement — MasterCraft Series & Nautique G21
This Boat Rental Agreement (the “Agreement”), along with the attached Participant Assumption of Risk, Liability Waiver, Release, and Indemnification Agreement (“Release Form”), is made between Summit and Shore Alliance (“SSA”) and the individual submitting this form (“Customer”).
1. Lease Terms
By signing this Agreement, the Customer:
Confirms payment of the Rental Fee and $1500 Security Deposit.
Acknowledges and agrees to the terms in the attached Release Form.
Accepts full responsibility for the Vessel and any damages that occur during the rental period.
Accepts responsibility for all individuals in their party who board, operate, or otherwise use the Vessel, and agrees to ensure that all such persons follow applicable safety instructions, rules, and laws.
2. Condition of Vessel
The Customer affirms they have inspected the Vessel and accepted it in good working condition. It must be returned in the same condition, normal wear and tear excepted.
3. Security Deposit
The $1500 Security Deposit will be refunded upon return of the Vessel in acceptable condition. Deductions may apply for cleaning, damage, replacement, fuel charges, or late fees.
4. Damage & Liability
The Customer assumes full financial liability for any and all damage to the Vessel, regardless of cause, up to the actual cost of repair or replacement.
In cases of theft, gross negligence, or total loss, the Customer is responsible for the Vessel’s full fair market value.
5. Lost Rental Income
The Customer understands and agrees that if the Vessel is damaged due to operator error, negligence, or improper use, and that damage renders the Vessel unavailable for rental, SSA reserves the right to charge the Customer for lost rental days while the Vessel is being repaired or is otherwise out of service. Lost rental days will be charged at the Vessel’s standard daily rental rate for each day the Vessel is unavailable for rental. This charge is in addition to, and separate from, the cost of repairs or replacement.
6. Failure to Return
Late returns will incur hourly fees up to the replacement value of the Vessel and will be deducted from the Security Deposit.
7. Use of Vessel
The Customer agrees to:
Operate only in accordance with safe boating practices and applicable law.
Not permit unlicensed, impaired, or unqualified operators.
Monitor conduct of all persons on board and ensure safety equipment is used.
8. Navigation, Rock Hazards, and Operator Responsibility
The Customer understands and acknowledges that Lake Powell contains rock hazards, submerged objects, shoals, sandbars, and other obstructions — both marked and unmarked. Water levels fluctuate, and hazards that are visible one day may be submerged the next. Navigational markers and buoys may be missing, moved, or absent entirely.
It is the boat operator’s sole responsibility to operate the Vessel safely, maintain a proper lookout, control speed, and avoid all hazards, whether marked or unmarked. The Customer assumes full responsibility for any damage to the Vessel, persons, or property resulting from contact with any rock, submerged object, shoreline, or other hazard.
9. No Beaching — Surf Boats
Beaching the Vessel is strictly prohibited. The MasterCraft and Nautique G21 are inboard surf boats with fiberglass hulls and exposed propellers and running gear that are highly susceptible to damage. Unlike traditional sandy beaches, Lake Powell’s shorelines are inherently rocky, and beaching, grounding, or operating in shallow water near shore presents a significant risk of fiberglass hull damage, propeller and drivetrain damage, and other costly repairs.
The Vessel must remain in deep water, away from shorelines, beaches, and shallow areas at all times. Any damage resulting from beaching, grounding, or shallow-water operation near shore is the full responsibility of the operator, and may include charges for repair, replacement, and lost rental income as described in this Agreement.
10. Ownership and Access
The Vessel remains property of SSA. It may not be transferred, subleased, or modified. SSA may access the Vessel at any time for inspection or recovery.
11. Indemnification
The Customer agrees to indemnify SSA from any claims, damages, or losses arising from use of the Vessel or conduct of any person in their party.
12. No Warranties
SSA makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the Vessel’s condition, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
13. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed under the laws of the applicable state. Disputes shall be resolved in that state’s courts.
14. Entire Agreement
This document and exhibits are the full agreement. Any invalid part does not affect the remainder. Amendments must be in writing and signed.
