Roomy, purposeful, and ready for a day on the water
The Princecraft Vectra 23' TriToon RL joins the rental fleet with a 115 HP Mercury outboard, full furniture and a rear lounge area that encourages social cruising for groups up to 12. Built for comfort, it also includes a bimini top and onboard GPS.
A floating observatory on the Ottawa River
The tri‑toon's layout and seating create wide sightlines for river scenery, making it an ideal platform for long, leisurely days of watching shoreline woodlands and river traffic from a different perspective.
Simple systems, clear rules
Rentals come with required safety equipment and one adult lifejacket per adult; there are limits on children's lifejackets so bringing properly fitted, Transport Canada‑approved jackets is advised. Operators enforce rules: renters must be 21 or older, and no alcohol or BBQs are permitted aboard.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
A full‑day rental on the Tritoon unfolds as a paced, social cruise: launch from the marina, set a comfortable throttle for the Ottawa River, stop for swims and shoreline breaks, and spend the afternoon anchored or drifting while the boat's rear lounge and bimini top shelter the group. The onboard GPS helps with navigation while the layout keeps the boat convivial for groups.

Details to review before reserving
Rentals operate on a full‑day schedule (operating hours). Be aware that early‑May reservations may be subject to postponement due to high water.
Bring properly fitted, Transport Canada‑approved lifejackets for children whenever possible; the operator provides one adult lifejacket per adult but has a limited supply of children's jackets.
Renters are strongly recommended to have a pleasure craft operator card. Without the card you must complete a Rental Boat Safety Checklist at pickup and carry the co‑signed copy during the rental.
