Weather-Related Events: Pontoon Rentals at Bay St. Louis Municipal Marina, LLC will have the discretion to determine weather conditions for refund purposes. If bad weather is expected for the entire day or determined to be unsafe for rentals, Pontoon Rentals may cancel your reservation (rain or wind). If the weather turns bad during the day and is expected to remain bad, the rental will be pro-rated for the hours the boat was used. Mississippi is known for afternoon thunderstorms that last a short period and no refund will be given if the weather condition is short. NO refunds or pro-rated rates will be given due to bad weather after 3pm on full day rentals.

No Refunds for Early Return: Once you leave the dock, no refunds will be provided if you return early for reasons unrelated to weather conditions.

Safety Considerations
Boater Awareness & Risk Assessment
-
Knowledgeable boaters understand the importance of assessing risks, including their skill level and the comfort of their group.
-
Weather on the water involves more than just sunshine or rain; wind, waves, and thunderstorms can pose significant dangers.
-
Afternoon storms with gusty winds and lightning are common in summer months and can escalate rapidly, presenting multiple hazards simultaneously.
Your safety is our priority, and we appreciate your understanding of the challenges that weather can present on the water.
