Authorized Equipment Usage

Gear rentals are available to charter guests, boat renters, or third parties desiring to land fish near the Clearwater Marina. Renters may only use rental hardware when on a scheduled AFL charter or boat rental, or within 5 miles of the Clearwater Marina if used for land fishing. Any other activity utilizing rental gear — including personal use, commercial fishing use, or trading/bartering use — is unauthorized and prohibited. Unauthorized activity is punishable by a fine of up to $150 and/or 30 days in jail.

What To Expect & Liability Waiver

If you choose to rent gear during your charter or boat rental, we will make sure that everything you've requested (package or à la carte) is inspected and ready for your use upon arrival. You will pay the $50 security deposit online in conjunction with the other security deposits. No extra work is required on your part. If you are renting with the intent to land fish, you will need to pay the security deposit and collect your gear at the marina at the time of your reservation.
