Float tubes for groups floating down a river, any experience?

[Kelly B.]

We have a STR on a river that would be great for float tubing. Was hoping to hear about others' experience, rates, additional deposit, etc.

The potential for liability is tremendous. A minor staying at your STR under the influence drowning on your float tube...imagine the repercussions of that.

If it was me, I would let them acquire their own tube and proceed at their own will and their own risk. You are in the STR business. You are not in the float tube business.

One of my STRs has a bunch of Quentin Tarrantino movie memorabilia as decorations. To paraphrase Quentin, When people pull up to your STR, do they see a sign that says "Float Tube Trips?". No. You know why they don't see a sign that says "Float Tube Trips"? It's because Float Tube Trips isn't any of your business.
