Operating Dates

Our rental season runs from late April to the middle of September. We start the season when the water is not hard, and stop it just before the hunters mistake kayaks for geese.
On the other hand, the season for boat sales is 12 months long. We sell boats in December as Christmas gifts, so if you want to surprise a special person, we'll be glad to help.

Safety & Comfort
Wear your PFD!
Our boats are safe when used properly, but will tip if you're careless. We advise you not to go out in high wind, use your intuition and be cautious, and paddle with a buddy. We advise you not to rent our boats if you are not a competent swimmer.
Lock your cell phone and valuables in your car, and use a water-tight camera case. We do supply dry-bags on request. Bring your own PFD and/or paddle if you feel more comfortable with them. Bring sunscreen, a hat, water and snacks. Whatever you forget is sold in Merrickville.
Don't be afraid to cancel and reschedule if the weather is not suitable - we want happy outcomes, and cancellations are always part of this business.
