• Mass quantities of alcohol, open flames, grill, or cooking equipment of any type is prohibited on all rental boats.
• Each rental boat leaves the dock with a full tank of fuel. Once the boat is returned and refueled the renter is responsible for the amount of fuel consumed during the rental time.

• If the following conditions exist on the lake; heavy rain lasting more than 45 minutes; lightning; tornado warnings; high wind advisories or any condition that North Shore Marina considers unsafe boating conditions, then the reservation fees will be credited. Weather credits or rain checks can only be given in person on the day of the rental and are based on actual weather conditions on the lake at the time of the rental, not future weather forecasts.

Heads up: If you born after December 31st, 1985, it is required that all operators have a Nebraska Boating Safety Certificate, or a NASBLA approved boaters license from another state (see below.)  

Wondering if your current certificate or license will make the cut?

The State of Nebraska will accept NASBLA approved certificates:

• A certificate issued by another State agency and NASBLA approved
• A valid boating license issued by the State of Nebraska
