How do I know if a person is qualified?

We keep a history of a persons past boat rental experience. This is forwarded to you as a member facility. You may refuse a rental for any reason. You also post your requirements on your boat page. Facilities are able to “Black List” a renter. If a customer is “Blacked Listed” you will be noted in rental info email that a prior facility had a problem with this renter.
