How do I surf behind a boat?
With the Nautique G23 it couldn't be easier. Are you a beginner? Just press the "beginner" preset button on the console and the boat automatically fills the tanks to the right level, sets the trim and sets the cruise control. The boat has settings for intermediate, advanced and other water-sports as well. Just press the appropriate button, and surf the endless wave.

What time does our rental start?
ToyBoxCda offers the longest day rental available on the lake. Your rental starts on the water at 9AM and the boat must be returned by 5PM, and we will do our best to accommodate your schedule if you need to make changes.
How much gas does the boat burn?
Consumption varies considerably depending upon usage, but a typical day can burn from 30 to 60 gallons, with the average around 45. How much weight, speed, surf time, sight-seeing, and downtime just sun-bathing on the swim deck-- these all play a role in the amount of gas consumed. The G23 has a 65 gallon tank.
What if the weather turns bad the day we have scheduled to go?
The boat has a heater to keep warm on those cooler days, but you are welcome to reschedule for a different date if the weather is bad. We don't want you (or our boat) out in inclement weather.
Do you take cash, card or check?
Your $100 deposit must be paid online with a credit card or paypal, but the remaining balance that is paid the day of the rental can be paid with cash, card, or check.
Do you allow pets?
Pets are not allowed on any of the upholstery, but small pets are allowed in your lap or on the floor for a $50 nonrefundable deposit. If there is evidence of an undisclosed pet onboard after your rental period, there will be a $100 fee assessed.
Are there any special restrictions?
There is absolutely NO beaching the boat, it must be tied to a buoy or secured to a dock. If you keep the boat overnight, you must have a safe, secure place to moor. Coeur d'Alene Lake has many shallow areas (Cougar bay, south side of the Spokane river, entrance to the CdA river, etc.) so you must watch your depth gauge; And there can always be floating debris, be watching. We keep our equipment in immaculate condition, and we would ask you to treat it as if it was your own.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Of course! The boat is stocked with ice and a selection of beverages, but the icebox is big and you are welcome to bring your favorite food and beverages.
Is there a beach?
There are many nice public beaches with docks offering free moorage so you can park for a bit and swim, eat lunch or play. We will give you an overview and a map of the lake (with all the best spots) on the day of your rental.
