Boat Rental at OKW??

[momsgoofy]

Where can I find more information about the various boat rentals available at OKW?

I know they have the water mice, and some other types of boats, but want to know the size of the crafts (i.e. how many persons per craft), the rates and mimimum age to drive.

If anyone could post the info or tell me where I can find it that would be great!

Thanks!

I'm there now, if I have sometime, I'll get the specifics. I have rented a boat here twice before. From memory, yes they have mice boats, also a boston whaler sort of boat with a canvas roof which proably seats 4 comfortably. Then 2 sizes of pontoon boats. The smaller looks to seat 6 adults comfortably, the larger would seat 10. We've rented the larger pontoon before, I seem to recall after the DVC discount the cost worked out to about $ 28 per 30 minutes.

Thanks to you both! That helps! I think DS might want to do this so now I know...I appreciate it!

DVCConvert...that would be one of the nicest things if you have the time...but, please don't go out of your way!

Thanks!

If your DS is under 16, you might want to verify the age restrictions so he is not dissappointed. There were some incidents last year involving some youths under 16 and if I remember the restrictions are now 16 or older with a valid DL to operate the SeaRacers (formerly known as WaterMice!)
