Outing Highlights

THE FLEET

22‑foot pontoons, fishing boats and bowriders

Choose from compact fishing boats to 22‑ft pontoons and bowriders with 60–75 HP, configured to carry groups (up to 10 people on suitable boats) for day trips across the region.

THE ACCESS

Delivered options and temporary licensing

Hamer Bay Marine can deliver rentals to surrounding lakes in the Parry Sound–Muskoka region and will issue temporary boating licenses for renters who don’t hold a valid license, so you can get on the water without prior certification.

THE RULES

Clear safety, age and pre-authorization policies

Rentals include safety equipment and lake charts but come with strict terms: lessees must be 25 or older, a driver’s license is required, fuel is not included, boats are inspected at the start and end of each rental, and an on-water demonstration is required for all operators.

What the day feels like

What a day on the rental feels like

The experience is straightforward and gear-forward: pick a boat—whether a fishing skiff or a roomy pontoon—receive a life jacket and any lake charts required for Muskoka Lake, Rosseau or Lake Joseph, complete the brief paperwork and an on-water demonstration, and head out to explore the lakes of Parry Sound–Muskoka.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Fishing partiesA solid option: the fleet includes fishing boats and pontoons suitable for groups, with life jackets provided; note the lessee must meet the operator’s age and ID requirements.
2
Families and friend groupsPontoons that carry multiple people make for relaxed group cruising, but the primary renter/driver must be 25 or older and present a driver’s license at check‑in.
3
Novice boatersAccessible: temporary licenses can be issued and an on‑water demonstration is required for every renter, making single‑day rentals feasible for those without prior certification.
4
Watersports seekersNot a match: operator rules explicitly prohibit the use of rental boats for watersports.
