MacTier’s Two-Day Boat Rentals: Tailor a Parry Sound–Muskoka fishing escape.
The Parry Sound–Muskoka region unfolds as a lattice of islands and sheltered bays, and Two Day Fishing Boat Rentals out of MacTier puts you on that water with the kit you need: everything from small fishing skiffs to pontoons, life jackets and lake charts, plus the option of a temporary licence so you can be underway even without a permanent boater’s card.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A range of boats from fishing skiffs to pontoons
Rentals cover small fishing boats up through bowriders and pontoons, so you can choose a craft that fits four people or less and the kind of day you want on the lake.
Basic safety gear and local charts are included
Each rental includes life jackets and a lake chart when renting on Muskoka Lake, Rosseau or Lake Joseph, so navigation and flotation are provided as part of the package.
Temporary licences and delivery to nearby lakes
Operators can deliver boats to surrounding Parry Sound–Muskoka lakes and can issue a temporary licence for the duration of the rental, removing a common barrier for first-time boaters.
What the day feels like
What it feels like to rent a boat in MacTier
The rental experience is straightforward: pick the boat that suits your group, complete check-in and a brief on-water demonstration, then spend the day exploring lakes and inlets with charts and life jackets on board; when you return the operator conducts another inspection to close out the rental.

Practical planner
Details to review before reserving
Bring a valid driver’s licence (required at rental), and plan for fuel costs because fuel is not included; arrive early and allow 20–30 minutes for paperwork and the required demonstration.
Life jackets are provided and lake charts are included when renting on Muskoka Lake, Rosseau or Lake Joseph; temporary licences can be issued for the rental period if you don’t have a boaters licence.
Rentals require a pre-authorization for a damages deposit on a valid card; the range listed is $1,500–$4,000 and fuel is billed separately.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
