Reservation rules can make or break the fit

“Unlimited use” does not mean unrestricted access to every boat at every time.

Four questions to ask

How many active reservations can you hold? How far ahead can you book? Do morning and afternoon slots count separately? How are weekends and holidays handled?

Test your actual schedule

Ask to see availability for your usual departure window, party size and vessel type. Ask how cancellations, weather closures, waitlists and last-minute openings work. Do not assume network-wide rules match the local contract.
