Offering extra Outdoor Rec option rentals with Vacation rental

[Dan Stewart]

On one of our vacation rentals, we offer the opportunity to also rent out our pontoon boat for an extra $400. This has worked out very well for us with 95% of our rentals paying extra for the pontoon boat as well. 

On my house hack vacation rental (different property) I am playing with the idea of adding other recreational opportunities as options for my rentals. I have some ideas but I wanted to see if there is anyone that offers other options for their vacation rentals to bring in extra income. Does anyone do anything like this?

@Dan Stewart How do you handle insuring the pontoon for rentals? Will your insurance pay if a guest rents your pontoon in a commercial setting and they run into another boat and someone is hurt?

That is what would scare me about renting a boat.

Also if they don't fill up the gas tank how do you deal with this?

Does your cleaning person also clean the boat after each use?

I saw where someone got a bad review because the boat they were renting was left dirty by previous renter.

Just curious how you handle all this.
