Safe Trips Start With Clear Agreements.
BBR uses digital waivers to protect renters, passengers, boat owners and business owners on every trip.
Why BBR Uses Digital Waivers
When you rent a boat through BBR, the boat owner is trusting you with one of their most valuable assets. BBR's digital waiver system protects all parties — the renter, passengers, and the boat owner and charter operator business owners — by establishing clear responsibilities before any trip begins. All waivers are completed digitally through the BBR platform.
Types of Waivers
Captain's Waiver & Equipment Checklist
Completed upon pick-up during boat inspection. Lists all passengers and confirms the equipment condition. Signing this waiver starts the rental period and places a deposit hold on the renter's credit card.
Adult Passenger Waiver
Every adult passenger must complete a digital adult passenger waiver before boarding.
Minor Passenger Waiver
Minors under the age of 18 need to have a parent or legal parental guardian complete a minor passenger waiver on their behalf.
Renter Responsibilities
- The Captain and all passengers must sign their respective digital waivers before the trip begins.
- The renter (captain) may drive the boat. No other passengers are permitted to drive the boat.
- If more than one captain needs to drive, each must complete their own waiver and be listed on the Captain's equipment checklist.
- It is the responsibility of the boat renter and captain to enforce passenger waiver compliance.
- The Captain will receive the keys when all digital waivers are signed and the trip has officially started.
