What Is A Boat Rental Agreement?
A boat rental agreement is a document which covers the rental of a boat. Whenever you are renting out your own boat, or renting a boat from someone else, it is extremely important that a contract is written up covering not just the basic rental details, but also specifics in regard to the boat, and rules and regulations.
