"Wow, there was a lot of information shared there...I am so glad we got to drive the boat on the Big Rideau before taking it home", she said. The family felt significantly more confident having gone over the operation of the equpiment and knowing that everything works right for them...

The drive from the city was full of talk about the season ahead. Once they arrived at the marina, there was significant excitement in the air. "Today is the day we are getting our new boat", she remarked. "I can hardly wait to get out on the water". Once the car was parked it was time to head into the marine office where they were greated by a warm smile
and they felt instantly at ease....

"We did it", he beamed. The deal is done and we are now the proud owners of our dream boat..."

Spring brings the promise of a new boating season;  it is an exciting time of year to be a boater.

Boating with a pontoon boat just might be the most relaxing way to spend a day on the water! Since pontoon boats offer more space and more carrying capacity than any other boating segment, feel free to invite the whole family & friends!

Hello everybody! Joan and I had a great trip to Key Largo this week. Our dock neighbours Dean and Liz, have their daughter Jane, and her husband Sean visiting with their 2 children; Leo, 2 years and Annebelle, 3 months. Their 36' Albin Trawler cruises at 7.5 mph so we followed them to Miami staying at Miamarina, Bayside right down town. The marina is ringed with restaurants, shops and boutiques with live music playing all evening.

     Everybody must be stoked to hit the water this summer! Whether you have a new boat, or one you have been using for years, there are endless possibilities, new adventures, and unforgettable memories ahead. Perhaps you have the hopes of teaching your children how to wakeboard or waterski for the first time this summer! This is can be a "make or break" opprtunity and we want to give them every chance to suceed. Some are gung-ho and others (especially at a younger age), can be very hesitant at first. This is where the fine line of encouragement vs. enforcement comes into play. Whether you boat or cottage in the Rideau Lakes, Thousand Islands, or anywhere wlse, read on for some valuable tips.

Now that winter is here, boaters turn their attention to off-season activities, spending time at the hockey rink, a trip south to warmer climes, Christmas holidays with family and maybe a downhill ski run or two. Just because your boating season is done for the year, you shouldn’t stop thinking about the great summer you had, and the one that’s soon to come! How great a summer you’ll have next year could depend on how well your boat and engine is maintained in the meantime.

The largest boat show in Canada starts today with the returning "Charity night". This event ushers in the first signs of the next boating season around the corner. If you are already a boater, you likely are starting to get excited and are just itching to see what is new in the world of new boats, used boats, electronics, marinas, etc. If you are thinking about getting into the most amazing leisure and sports activity on the planet....then you may see the Toronto International Boat Show as a source for learning and research. Well, you'd be right!
