Echo Bay Marina

We are located only a few hundred yards from the only water front restaurant on Candlewood Lake, Down the Hatch! They have docks available for boat pull up and great food to take out on the water!
Chicken rock is also up the lake on Green Island and is great fun for the kids! It has a rope swing and a thrilling jump into the water!
We also have our very own deck that has picnic tables and grills, ready to be fired up to make a great lake front lunch!

In order to be allowed to rent a boat you must be over 21 as evidenced by a valid driver’s license, passport or other official government ID. You must be physically able to perform the tasks involved in the safe operation of a boat and our staff must be able to communicate with you enough to insure that you understand the rental agreement and safe operation of the boat. The operator of the boat may not be consuming alcohol or drugs. We reserve the right to refuse to rent to anyone when our staff feels that you are not capable of safely operating our boats or of understanding the terms of the rental agreement. Customers must also have an operational cellular phone on board and must leave it on so that the Marina can contact them for emergencies or to report weather information.
Lessee acknowledges that he/she has carefully examined the craft and finds it suitable for the purpose for which it is leased, and that the other accessory equipment is in suitable and acceptable condition: that he/she will maintain both craft and equipment in a safe, dependable condition while in his/her custody.
It is agreed and understood by lessee that lessor shall not be held liable for damages, inconvenience or time lost caused by accident, breakdown or malfunction of the rental craft. Lessee further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the lessor from, and against any and all claims for loss of or damage to property or injury to persons (including death) resulting through the use, operation or possession of said rental craft. Lessee further agrees to hold lessor harmless should loss or damages occur to any of the lessee’s personal property while carried in, or on, the rental craft, including loss or damage caused by fire, water, theft or any other cause whatsoever.
Boats are intended for use by the certified number and weight of passengers and gear. Do not overload boats; you will be fined. When loading people and gear on boats, try to evenly distribute weight both side-to-side and front to back. This will make for safer operation and insure that the bow does not plow through large waves that you may encounter.
All safe boating regulations must be followed including no wake zones, life preservers for children and all others. CT Law mandates that all boaters 12 years old and younger are required to where a life jacket at all times. MWR Rental and Sales strongly recommends that all people in boat where a life jacket at all times, particularly when swimming in deep water. As an added precaution it is suggested that the throw cushion is placed in a readily accessible location in the boat so that it may quickly tossed to a swimmer in distress. You are personally responsible for any damage to our boats, other boats or other property caused by your violation of safe boating regulations or MWR Rental and Sales Corp rental boat conditions of use.
It is illegal for boat operators to consume alcohol or drugs of any kind regardless of the degree of impairment.
Renters who are known to be drinking alcohol will be refused the use of a boat. If you have a reservation but are obviously intoxicated, you will be refused a boat and charged for the cancellation.
Any and all damage to the equipment that is caused as a result of the lessee’s operation or oversight is the sole responsibility of the lessee. Do not leave boats unattended.
Boats are to be returned relatively clean and in the same condition as they were when you took them out. $50 cleaning fees will be charged if the boat is returned excessively dirty or covered in dog hair. Inspect the boat carefully before taking it out because you will be charged for any new damage upon your return to the dock.
You are not allowed to let anyone other than the primary renter use or operate the boat.
Anyone who may be serving as an operator needs to be identified and to sign this agreement. If you do allow anyone else to use the boat you are entirely personally responsible for any damage that they cause to our boat or to other persons or properties.
Lessee expressly agrees to indemnify and hold lessor harmless of, from, and against any and all loss, costs, damages, attorney fees and/or liability in connection with the enforcing of the foregoing rental contract by lessor, including expenses incurred in collection or attempting to collect delinquent rent and in the event of suit by lessor to recover possession of said rented property and/or to enforce any of the terms, conditions and/or provisions hereof. It is understood and agreed that the venue of any action hereunder shall be in the county of lessor.
In the event of malfunction, breakdown, or if any defect is discovered after acceptance of the rental craft that lessee will immediately report same to lessor.

Lessor’s ability to provide a rental craft , if reserved, is contingent upon and subject to the return of the unit by the previous lessee, or any other cause beyond lessor’s control.
Lessor reserves the right the cancel this rental agreement due to inclement or impending bad weather. Rental fees will be prorated based on the time used.
