EC1 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Good Afternoon all, I was just wondering if anyone knows where it's still possible to rent a pontoon for a day? The preferred locations would be in the Kawartha's and maybe I'll even be willing to drive out to the Rideau Waterways. I can't do smaller boats as I need to take about 4 - 5 people total onto the same boat, as I'm the only one with a boaters license. And am I looking at fully booked rentals at this time of year, or should there be some rentals available just walking in without advanced notice? Thanks in Advance !

Plank Road Marina on Rice rents pontoons: http://www.plankroadcottages.com/ They shouldn't be booked at all. I would just give them a call a few days beforehand. Plus, I think they have two pontoons.

SBCregal Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 you don't need a boaters license to drive a rental boat from what i understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom McCutcheon Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 You could try Happy Days Houseboats. They are located just south of Bobcaygeon on the west side of Pigeon Lake. I think they rent pontoon boats as well as houseboats. www.happydayshouseboats.com Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are intrested in going on the St. Lawrence River I know Gilbert Marine (613) 342-3462 in Brockville has a 20-24 ft toon. I have used it myself a couple of times, and then I figured I better buy my own boat for the amount I was renting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC1 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the help guys. We're pretty set on it being an entire family thing, I think I should have mentioned this would be a fishing trip Might not go all the way to brockville, as I was thinking of somewhere as far as being along highway 15 and 30k's within the 401. Will look at the Rice lake spot, I'll tell you guys how it ends up going. Edited October 7, 2010 by EC1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
