You will pay for the gas you used then prior to leaving the dock.​

​

  • What is the weather policy?

    • Weather cancellations/reschedules will be decided solely by the owner of Paris Landing Pontoon Rental, normally the morning of the rentals. If it is deemed truly unsafe to be out on the water, PLPR will work with Renters to either reschedule reservations or give prorated refunds. ​
