Rented a boat for 1 1/2 hr. as a treat to relatives visiting from out of state. Packed a picnic lunch and was looking to a new experience with family. This was in February 2008, so the temperature was cool, although sunny. The ladies sat at the front of the boat and were cold due to the ocean breeze and we decided to flip just about a foot of the canopy to get some sun. As we pulled back into dock the young men working flipped the canopy back. The owner saw the situation and as we checked out we were charged an extra $50 for the infraction. He said, read ""fine print"" in the contract (the one signed for the rental), although we were not given a copy to take with you. Although we live outside of Newport Beach, there has been too many complaints from friends who also live outside of Newport Beach with this kind of treatment. This is the last draw, no more rentals at Newport Beach!!!
