Regulations

Hot Tub Boats (44 of 49) (1)

Our primary goal at Lake Union Hot Tub Boats is for you to have a unique, enjoyable, and one-of a kind experience! That being said, we ask persons to please be respectful of the wonderful waterways, other boaters, and the live aboard houseboat communities.

At any time during your rental experience, you may call the Hot Tub Boat staff, available with a speed boat for emergencies and towing.

RULES & REGULATIONS:

  1. All persons using Hot Tub Boats do so at their own risk and must sign Assumption of Risk and Liability Release prior to use. Therefore, no extra persons may join a hot tub boat if they did not leave from the Lake Union Hot Tub Boats facility.

  16. Persons are advised to read all printed restrictions and the liability waiver, before agreeing to a Lake Union Hot Tub Boat Rental.

CANCELATION POLICY:

Feel free to book your Hot Tub Boats as soon as 15 hours prior online and up to 1 year in advance. You will NOT be charged at the time of booking - but we do require a credit card to put on file. 10 days out from your reservation, we will remind you of your booking via e-mail. We will charge that card a $150 deposit 7 days prior to your reservation. Rentals booked within this time period will be charged the $150 deposit the day after the booking is made. Rentals cancelled after this deposit are not subject to refund. Rentals cancelled within the last 48 hours of their scheduled rental time will be charged the full amount of the scheduled rental. At Lake Union Hot Tub Boats, we understand that, sometimes, life can get in the way. Therefore, we understand that extenuating circumstances are unavoidable and we try to be as accommodating and understanding as possible. Don’t be afraid to reach out to us with an email.

CHECK-IN:

Please show up to your reservation 10-15 minutes early! We have a restroom, changing room, and storage space for anything you do not want to take out onto the boat at our facility. Everybody will need to fill out a waiver before departure.

WEATHER:

Hot Tub Boats has one, limiting factor; weather. We can control quite a bit (including the 104 degree water in the Hot Tub Boat!) but, we can not control Mother Nature. We continually monitor the weather and if the wind is predicted to blow more than a force 4, greater than 16 kts, Hot Tub Boating becomes less fun.

Our main goal is to get you out in a Hot Tub Boat for a memorable, fun and, most importantly, safe experience. When winds are forecast to exceed safe/comfortable operating levels, we will email you the morning of your rental to keep you informed. We will push the limits and wait as long as possible, in hopes the wind lessens, before cancelling your rental. Therefore, we must reserve the right to cancel reservations within two hours because of inclement weather conditions (high winds, lightning, hail, etc.)

PLEASE NOTE

Failure to abide by these regulations may result in forfeiture of your rental and its associated costs... That wouldn’t be fun for anyone.
