How deposits and damage claims work

Understand security deposits, claims, renter responses and admin review.

Some bookings may include a security deposit. When checkout booking is created, EnjoyBoat records the deposit amount and status. If the owner reports damage, missing equipment or a late return, they may submit a claim with evidence. Renters can respond from their dashboard. Admin reviews the claim, evidence and policy before marking the deposit released, claimed or disputed. Provider-level money movement may remain manual during public beta.

Clear listing details

Compare capacity, location, amenities, owner details and policies before sending a request.

Owner confirmation

Route, availability, captain options, fuel and extras should be confirmed with the owner before the trip.

Support and safety guidance

Use EnjoyBoat support and listing safety tools if something looks incomplete, inaccurate or unclear.
