30 ft Rinker Captiva - Power Speed Boat Rental for 8 People in Montreal, Canada
We had a wonderful time with Ziv, he was fun and knowledgeable. We brought our 3 kids with us all of whom had a blast boating, swimming, and tubing. With summer days not long enough this is the best way to spend it.

We had an unforgettable experience on this amazing Riva boat! We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday on board, and it was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere, the view, the vibe—everything was just right. We had so much fun, and the owner of the boat was super cool, friendly, and easygoing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special and fun day on the water!

47 feet Silverton Express Motor Yacht
We rented this boat for a bachelor party for 12 and had a great time. It fit all of us comfortably. The hosts were super friendly and accommodating. They even grilled for us which we really appreciated. I think it’s fair to point out that the boat is being renovated so the down stairs was mostly for storage and the washroom wasn’t 100% operational. But that was mostly fine as we were up on top and had a great time out on the water. I would highly recommend renting this boat for a group of friends.
