Renting a boat with Happy Cape is straightforward. Simply send us an inquiry through our website or by email and we will get back to you promptly with availability and an individual offer.
Please note that online booking is not available for boats, as each rental requires personal coordination. A few things to keep in mind:
The minimum rental period is 3 days. Boat rentals are available to guests aged 21 and over. A security deposit is required and will be refunded after the boat has been returned and inspected. Before your trip, you will receive a comprehensive safety and handling briefing from a licensed captain, including a test drive and practice docking at the boat lift. On the return day, the captain will check that the tank has been refueled and inspect the boat for any damage.
