We have lots of hire options to choose from!

Getting out on the lake is a breeze. From getting fitted with the right safety gear to bringing your four-legged friend along for the ride, here is what you need to know about hiring with us.

Dogs are welcome

Well-behaved dogs are welcome on board if you clean up after them, don’t tie them to the boat, and feel comfortable having them on board.

Every boat hire includes instruction from one of our trained staff. Safety equipment such as buoyancy aids is also covered.
