Used Boats

We are frequently asked if we sell our rental boats. Yes, we do, at any time of the year. Depending upon condition, they sell for well below retail, and because of the durability of rotomolded polyethylene, our used boats will last a very long time. They will have scratches, however, but they will not have broken parts or be unseaworthy.

We will not sell you a boat without you having tried it out, and we will credit your rental towards the purchase price of a boat, up to 15% of the pre-tax price.

 

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.
