Water Sport FAQ
FAQ's
IS GAS INCLUDED IN THE RENTAL?
No, gas is an additional $10/hr based on your rental duration.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BOAT RENTAL AND A CHARTERED RENTAL?
Enjoy the fun of boating without the hassle of driving! Sunnyside Marina works with a third party company – Tahoe Boat Drivers – that help assign drivers and instructors to our boat rentals. Due to Coast Guard regulations, payment for the driver must be paid directly to the driver for $50/hr. Book online or call for more information.
WHAT IS THE SUNNYSIDE WATER SPORTS CANCELLATION POLICY?
Sunnyside takes a 50% deposit (payment) at the time of booking. Cancellations can be made up to 3 days (72 hours) before your booking for a full refund. If you cancel within the 72 hour period, the 50% deposit will be forfeited. * Exceptions: Weather conditions can be very unpredictable in Tahoe. Full refunds or rebookings (dependent on availability) will be given if we decide it is not safe to be on the water*
WHAT TIME AND WHERE DO I CHECK-IN ON THE DAY OF MY RENTAL?
We ask that you arrive at least 30min prior to your rental time with your whole group present. You will check in at our rental tent down by the water. If you are looking at Sunnyside Restaurant from the street we are located on the right hand side (walk all the way down to the dock).
WHERE CAN I PARK?
There is a parking lot across the street from the lake and rental tent in the marina storage building. You must leave your keys with the marina office if you decide to park there. There is also a smaller lot on the lake side however it does fill up quickly.
HOW OLD DO I NEED TO BE TO RENT A BOAT OR JET SKI?
Boats: 25 or older to rent/operate a boat. 21 or older to rent a boat with a driver. Jet Skis: 18 or older to rent/ operate a jet ski. Passengers must be 5 years of age or older to ride on the back.
WHAT ITEMS ARE REQUIRED AT THE TIME OF CHECK-IN?
Please bring a government issued ID and the credit card used for booking. Please have your whole group present to check-in.
CAN WE BRING OUR OWN FOOD/DRINKS ON THE BOAT?
Yes, you are more than welcome to bring coolers, drinks, food, etc. We just ask that you keep all of your trash and dispose of it once you return to the marina, not in the boat, lake, or marina. Let’s Keep Tahoe Blue!
CAN WE STOP AT A LAKESIDE RESTAURANT FOR LUNCH?
Yes, but Sunnyside requires our renters to use the lakefront tender services. NO tying off on piers or other boats.
CAN WE ANCHOR OR BEACH OUR RENTAL BOAT?
There are anchors on the boat for safety purposes ONLY! Renters are not permitted to use the anchors unless for emergencies. Beaching rental boats is not allowed as well.
ARE DOGS ALLOWED ON BOATS?
Unfortunately we do not allow dogs on our rental boats.
