Boat Launch 2024 - Open Now!! 

Please read all notes below and if you have questions about the process watch this video before proceeding. Our launch calendar is available every year as of March 31st.

Launching
and Haulout Explained

Read the following notes before clicking on the links to schedule your boat at the bottom.

  1. After that, if you have any questions or concerns, please ask anytime. 
  2. The best piece of advice we can give you is to book your launch during the week before the first weekend that you actually want to use your boat. If there is nothing available that week, pick a week before that.

IMPORTANT:

Complete a Booking

Complete a booking for EACH BOAT you have at Len's Cove individually (do not note or email about multiple boats).

Schedule a Date Now

Even if you have "mentioned a date" to us before, please confirm it with the calendar links below.

Agree to These Terms

Len's Cove Marina will ensure all mandatory engine(s) and safety systems are operational (engine starting/shifting, bilge pump, navigation lights). We reserve the right to make minor repairs to those functions in order to leave the boat ready for you upon arrival. That may include new battery(s), bulb(s), pump(s), etc. as required. These items will be invoiced to your account. All repairs will be communicated to you and anything non-essential/optional will be sent to you for approval first. By scheduling your launch here, you are agreeing to these terms.

Proper Punctuation

Please use proper capitalization in names like John Smith (not JOHN SMITH or john smith) and use the email address you received the launch email from. Both these things keep our database clean and accurate.

What does Len's Cove do?

At Len's Cove, every time we launch a boat, we can't help but think of how much you would enjoy using it.

  • For runabouts, pontoons, and inboard towboats, they are fueled (charged to your account), quick clean to get off the winter dust, mechanically inspected, and lake tested to ensure proper operation. Keys are left in Service unless you request otherwise in the form.

  • For cruisers, they are started, engine(s) tested, main systems turned on and the water system filled and ready for use. Keys are left in Service.

When is it safe to Launch?

Every year is different! These are some general guidelines:

  • Outboards are safe in the water anytime (at ice out).

  • Inboard and I/Os (sterndrives) are best launched after the risk of frost has decreased significantly (approx. April 15th).

  • Cruisers are not advised till April 20th or later (frost risk and heavy equipment/soft yard).

Is there anything else you need to do?

If your boat does not reside here at Len's Cove for the summer months, please make sure you select a launch date for a time when you know for sure that you can come to pick it up. Space is at a premium in the spring (picture the 417 or 401 at rush hour). We really appreciate the timely pick-up of your boat. Thank you!

The Wash and Wax Program is selected in the launch form below. Pricing and program details are available at this link here.

How it works

SELECT ONE TIME PERIOD FOR EACH BOAT HERE AT LEN'S COVE.

  1. You need to click on an actual time (hour) to book and your boat will be ready by the end of that business day.

  2. If you select the wrong calendar for your boat type it will be canceled.

  3. Need it delivered? Click here for our transportation rates and mention the date you want it delivered when you book it

Note, this is a dynamic system, "first come, first serve", and has only a limited number of spaces for each boat type, each week.

We are a third-generation family marine business on the Big Rideau Lake. Located in Portland Ontario, on the Rideau Canal system.  Learn more about the history and early years of our dealership here.

We believe that boating should bring you happiness, joy, and peace of mind. It should move you closer to family, friends, and/or nature, and should be an escape from life’s stresses; where your time is truly yours. You deserve more fun on the water, and a better return for your hard-earned money.

Len’s Cove is committed to delivering the best boating by competing with ourselves, not other boat dealers. We are better today than we were yesterday, and will be better tomorrow than we are today.
