We have group rates and volume discounts on rentals. Call or e-mail us for quotes.

We deliver and pick up boats to all points between Kingston and Ottawa. Our company has supplied boats to groups that have travelled every part of the Rideau, and have received many letters of thanks.

Cottage renters and occasional visitors use our boats to add to their enjoyment of the Rideau. If you're a first time renter, call us for a quote to have us supply, deliver and pick up a boat for your vacation.

Safety

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.
