Room for Eleven

The 22' pontoon is configured with seating for up to 11 people, making it a fit for groups, families, or small parties for single- or multi‑day rentals.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

From check‑in at the marina to a day of open‑water cruising, the rental is organized around simple logistics: a fully fueled pontoon (to be returned full), mandatory safety gear on board, and clear operator requirements—so your focus stays on navigation, anchoring, and the company aboard.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should think twice.

1
Licensed DriversWell suited for anyone 18 or older who holds both a Driver’s License and a Canadian Pleasure Craft Operators Card and is comfortable piloting a motorboat.
2
Groups & FamiliesA practical choice for groups of friends or families up to 11 people seeking a relaxed day or multi‑day boat outing, provided an appropriately licensed operator is on board.
3
Safety‑Minded BoatersA good fit for those who value regulated safety: life jackets are provided and strict rules prohibit operating under the influence, with mandatory waivers and equipment included.
4
Budget‑Conscious RentersLess ideal for those unwilling to post a substantial damage deposit or accept a 25% non‑refundable reservation fee—renters must leave a $2,500 damage deposit and are financially liable for any damages.
