The boat is pet friendly (non shedding) Smoking is allowed on top deck. There is large washer dryer combo on the boat. Fishing poles are provided.
The anchor is a 30 pound (with 10 feet of chain) Danforth, it must be manual deployed and retrieved. I will allow boaters to take the boat out on their own after they have demonstrated competency
