Safety expectations for boat rentals

Basic safety expectations for owners, captains and renters.

Owners and captains are responsible for safe operation, local maritime rules, required equipment and legal compliance. Renters should follow captain instructions, respect capacity limits, avoid unsafe behavior and confirm weather/route details. EnjoyBoat provides marketplace tools but does not replace professional legal, safety or maritime advice.
