Renting Boats

• All rates are in Canadian funds.  Taxes are extra.

• Boat rentals are reserved for guests staying at Adventure Bay Cottages

• You must purchase fuel from Adventure Bay Cottages. The price is $25 for a tank for the aluminum boats and $35 for a tank for the Pontoon boat. Price quoted for the daily boat rental already includes fuel.

• Life-jacket included in boat rental.

• Please note: Boat Pleasure Craft Operator Cards (license) are mandatory in Ontario in order to operate a powered watercraft.

• No alcohol is permitted on board.

• Boats must be returned 1/2 hours before dark.

• Weekly Boat rentals end 8:00 pm Fridays (or the day before check out days)

• No one under 16 yrs will be permitted to operate a boat & motor.

• Persons under 18 yrs must be accompanied by an adult.

• Gasoline must be stored away from cottages. Please store in the locker (near the dock) or store in your vehicle or on your boat.

• Absolutely  Use ONLY OUR GAS for our boats! Gas is NO ETHANOL and oil is needed for some motors

• If we are required to come get you on the water for non boat malfunctioning issues (ie. ran out of gas) there will be a $100 charge added to the credit card on file for the time and gas required to bring you back to the dock.

• We ask you to return the boats in the same condition they were rented to you as. That includes ensuring they are not excessively dirty. We reserve the right to deduct a $50 cleaning fee from your damage deposit if the boat is returned dirty.

• We do not sell fishing licenses on site. You can purchase them online at BJ Tackle in Bewdley. A fishing license is required by law to fish in Canada.

• We do sell worms in the office. The closest bait show is BJ Tackle in Bewdley.

• We understand if you need to change the date of your booking or cancel due to thunder or lightning. However if it is just a bit of rain and you do not cancel the day before, we will charge you for the full day rental.

• If you cancel without a day's notice we will charge the credit card on file the full amount of the rental. Please respect the cancellation policy. If the credit card on file is not sufficient to cover the rental we reserve the right to take the customer to small claims court and include the cost of our time to do so and court costs in the suit.
