The remaining balance of your deposit will then be refunded to you. If you have insurance with a deposit waiver, the insurance company will be responsible for covering the cost of the repairs.

If you have an accident with another boat while underway or in port, it is essential that the captain completes a sea report upon return from the rental. This report will serve as the basis for the insurance claim to determine the necessary actions and the responsibilities of each party.
