How the Shuttle Works

Have exact cash (or check) ready in your vehicle. Call early — especially mornings before 9 am — to lock in your spot.

1

Call Ahead

Phone us before you head out. Have your vehicle description, license plate, and key location ready to share — both where we'll find the keys at the put-in and where we should leave them at the take-out.

2

Drop In & Stash the Keys

Park at your put-in and hit the water. Leave the keys where you told us — magnetic box under the bumper, hide-a-key, or tucked in the gas cap are all common. Leave the agreed payment inside the vehicle for your driver.

3

We Drive Your Rig

Our driver safely moves your vehicle and trailer to your chosen take-out. Keys go exactly where you asked — in the center console, back in the hide-a-key, under the visor, wherever you'll find them post-float.

4

Finish Strong

Float, fish, and enjoy every mile. Your vehicle — and your keys — are waiting when you pull out at the other end.
