The Virginia General Assembly passed a bill in 2007 that requires all boaters to complete a state approved boaters education course. If you meet this requirement, please bring proof of completion. If you have not completed an approved course, in compliance with this bill as a rental operator, our agreement between the renter and Sea Rocket Ticketing Services, LLC allows us to provide a brief safety overview & questionnaire upon arrival that will cover this requirement for the duration of your rental.

Gratuity is not included with the cost of your trip. We ask everyone to please remember that our crew is in the service industry and rely heavily on gratuity. We recommend a gratuity of 20% or more. If our crew helped you to have a great trip, be sure to thank them!
