Fancy PWC, LLC is a watercraft rental company. We do not sell fuel. All watercrafts are delivered with a full tank of gas and oil tanks topped off. Renters have two options for fuel: Return the jet ski with a full tank of gas, or prepay for one full tank of gas at current pump prices. If neither of these conditions is met renter will be billed for a full tank of gas plus $25. Oil tanks must also be returned full. Failure to do so results in a $25 charge.
Fancy PWC LLC offers NO insurance for damage to the machines. You may be covered under your homeowner’s insurance policy. Please check with your insurance agent about adding a rental damage rider to your homeowner’s policy if you are not already covered.

Basic Guidelines for a Safe and Fun Boating Experience
AT DELIVERY
- Have driver’s license ready and cash or credit card for damage deposit
- Complete watercraft inspection list
- Three life jackets will be provided with each rental-make sure to get correct sizes
- Sign and complete our rental agreement
BEFORE DEPARTING
- Give watercraft another quick inspection as you are responsible for any damage that is incurred during the duration of your rental
- Make sure you have a copy of the rental agreement (which includes the liability waiver) and boater’s safety (if applicable)
- If also renting a trailer make sure everything is secured (hitch, and watercraft)
RETURNING
- Return all items rented, including: watercraft, life jackets, key or lanyard, and all safety equipment. Renter is responsible for all lost item and will be charged accordingly
- Report any damage that occurred while the watercraft was in your possession
- Conduct inspection of watercraft with Fancy PWC representative and signoff on final damage report
RULES FOR THE WATER
- Jet skis and boats must not be started or running in less than two feet of water. The propulsion systems draw water from the lake and force it out the back, creating a vacuum like action under the watercraft capable of sucking up rocks, shells, and vegetation. These items can cause damage to the propulsion system and are leave the renter with a costly repair bill
- No matter what watercraft you are on, keep an eye on all water traffic. Jet skis are the most agile, so if operating one remember to yield to all other watercrafts
- Do not run watercrafts with people standing near
- A good rule to practice is staying 200 feet from all other watercrafts
- If leaving the watercraft unattended remember to remove the key and lanyard and keep it on your person
- Please be aware of all boating laws and safety information regarding the operation of your watercraft. You can be kept up to date by reading the Michigan Boater’s Safety Handbook
