Our rental boats provide a variety of sizes, power and styles to meet everyones needs. We offer smaller, less expensive boats for small groups, to fancy Bayliner Bow Riders. So depending on what you are looking for, we can provide it! If you are looking for a small boat for a harbour cruise or a sporty speed boat for the day, we are your company! Why buy a boat and pay for moorage, insurance and maintenance when you can rent one from us for a fraction of the price?

FAQ:
1. Do I need a Boating License?
No. We are able to provide you with a license for the duration of your rental by completing an easy safety checklist.
2. Can anyone rent a boat?
As much as we would like to say yes, the answer is no.
Not everyone is able to meet our qualifications in order to rent a boat. For safety reasons only, all potential customers must be able to speak, read, and understand English. If someone is unable to understand the rules and guidelines of renting a boat due to a language barrier, then we reserve the right to refuse service due to safety concerns.
If we feel that a person is not understanding the rules or the lesson for the operation of the boat, then we reserve the right to refuse service.
If we feel like a person is under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, then we reserve the right to refuse service

5. Can we reserve a boat? And if so, how far in advance? Is there a deposit required?
Yes you can reserve a boat and we encourage you to do so. However, we can only hold a boat till 10 am on weekends and 11 am on weekdays. After that it is first come, first serve. However, it is our main goal to get everyone out on the water, so we do everything in our power to get you out. This is best done by getting your name on a wait list and keeping in contact throughout the day.
Although reservations are recommended at anytime, they are especially useful on weekends due to high demand. It is recommended that reservations are made a few days in advance, especially for weekend rentals.

The same rules to drinking and driving apply on the water. If the driver is caught under the influence then they will lose their drivers license. We will use our discretion on the dock.

Due to insurance restrictions we are not able to allow our boats to be used for those purposes. We do, however, offer guided waterski charters. Call for more info.

There is a one time $10 insurance charge for the boat, fuel and tax. Fuel costs depend on how far and how fast you are going. The faster you go the more fuel you use. Depending on the boat rented, fuel may range from $10 - $30 per hour.
