DIRTY, DAMAGED OR LOST EQUIPMENT

You are responsible for returning rented equipment in clean, working condition. A sponge is sent with each watercraft to assist with this task. If we are required to clean or repair rented equipment you will be responsible for all costs. Rates for cleaning and repair are $60 per hour with a $30 minimum, plus the cost of parts and materials. You will be charged the full retail value for lost, stolen or destroyed rental equipment.

Clean, Drain, Dry Campaign

CLEAN off all plant parts, animals, and mud from boat and equipment (e.g. boots, waders, fishing gear). Use a power wash station if available.

DRAIN onto land all items that can hold water (e.g. buckets, wells, bilge, and ballast).

DRY all items completely before launching into another body of water.

Clean Drain Dry encourages recreationists to clean, drain, and dry all boats and equipment to help reduce the spread of invasive plants and organisms into and between BC’s lakes and rivers. Invasive plants and animals can be moved between water bodies by “hitchhiking” on boats, trailers, SUP’s, kayaks, fishing gear, and bait buckets. Using proper technique to remove aquatic animal and plant material from your gear before moving your it to a new water body helps to prevent the spread of invasives. Learn more here.

LATE RETURNS

Mitchell's is counting on you to return every piece of equipment at the originally scheduled time. If you don't, it puts significant inconvenience and stress on us and ruins the next renters adventure. This includes paddles, PFDs, etc.


Late returns (of any piece of equipment) will be charged $150 per watercraft for each day late plus 20% of the rental invoice total.

TO CHANGE RESERVATION DATES

Clients are permitted to alter their reserved dates once for a $35 fee. Date changes must be requested a minimum of 7 day prior to departure date. The new dates must fall within the same season and all of the previously reserved boats (chosen layup) must be available during the new dates. The rental length has to be the same (or longer).

If the new reservation date is further away than the original reservation dates, the cancellation policy applies to the original booked date.
