BOATING WHILE INTOXICATED IS A CRIME. BE SOBER—BE SAFE 

• We take safety seriously. Reckless or unsafe operation of the rented vessel will terminate your rental. 

Reckless Operation of a boat is operating a boat carelessly in willful disregard of the rights, safety, or property of others. Some examples of reckless operation are: Boating in restricted areas without regard for other boaters or persons, posted speeds and wake restrictions, diver-down flags, etc. Exceeding maximum capacity, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Jumping the wake of another boat unnecessarily close to that boat. 

Unsafe Operation of a boat is operating in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger others or their property. An example of unsafe operation is causing danger or damage from the wake of your boat. Jumping a wake with a motorized vessel within 100 feet of another vessel, jumping the wake of any vessel that is towing a person on water skis, inner tube, wakeboard, or other similar device, operating a vessel within any area marked off or set aside as a prohibited area or a swim area, weaving your vessel through congested waterway traffic, operating a vessel in a manner that creates hazardous wave or wake conditions while approaching or passing another vessel, steering toward another object or person in the water and swerving at the last possible moment in order to avoid collision, chasing, harassing, or disturbing wildlife with your vessel.

• Obey Speed Limits (in all areas)

• Maximum 45 MPH: 6 AM to 9 PM
• Maximum 25 MPH: 9 PM to 6 AM
• Maximum 5 MPH: No Wake Zones, within 100 feet of docks, moorings, anchored vessels, etc.

• You should be 100 feet away from the shore at all times on a boat.

• You'll see green and red buoys - remember "Red Right Returning", so when heading NORTH, the red buoys are on your left and vice versa when heading south.

• Remember to be prepared for sudden weather changes. Lake George is 32 miles long and 3 miles wide at its widest, making it oblong and narrow and ripe for fast winds and rough waters.

• Vessels cannot be anchored, moored, or recreated from within 200 feet of private property shoreline without the express permission of the property owner or lessee.

• Waterskiing

All persons waterskiing, tubing, wake boarding, etc. must wear an approved Type III personal flotation device (PFD).  An observer at least 10 years old is required. It takes 3 to ski! 

HAVE FUN, BUT BE SAFE!
