Payment is collected on the day of your adventure when you arrive, not at the time of booking. We accept cash and credit/debit cards (a processing fee applies for cards).
Your rental timer starts once you're on the water, properly fitted with your PFD, and ready to paddle. Safety training, gear fitting, and launch prep are not counted against your time.
No. Alcohol consumption is not allowed on any Vermilion River Adventures vessel. Operating any watercraft while intoxicated is dangerous and illegal under Illinois law.
