Stand Up Paddleboard Rentals
We are so excited to help you enjoy Toronto’s Waterfront and beautiful Toronto Islands. Please check out our Covid-19 Q&A for information on our safety protocols and frequently asked questions.
We ask that guests coming to rent a boat bring the following: a personal mask, hand sanitizer, and waterproof bag for your personal belongings to take in your boat, as day-use lockers will not be available. Although all safety equipment is included in the rental price, feel free to bring a personal lifejacket if desired.
We also ask that guests continue to practice social distancing of at least 2 metres (6′) when visiting our site and wear your mask when this is not possible.
Stay safe and have fun!
The beautiful 13 Toronto Islands are on our doorstep, with secluded beaches, bird sanctuaries, washrooms, picnic areas, a cottage-country feel, and many waterways to paddle and explore. Stay healthy and experience the wilderness in the city.
For safety reasons, all stand up paddleboard rental guests will be shuttled over to the island on our pontoon boat at no extra charge to start and end their rental from our island dock.

What about Weather & Winds?
On windy days we work with the renter and their abilities and pontoon boat shuttle people and their rental equipment to start and end within the islands where the winds are broken. Canoes and Paddleboards are always rented by us this way even on less windy days since they are more susceptible to getting blown around. There is no extra fee for this, maybe just a bit more patience on your part as we shuttle folk back and forth. We thank you for your understanding as we try to keep everyone safe.
As for thunderstorms and heavy rain or extreme winds, we try to give you as much notice as possible when we cancel rentals. We give you the choice of a full refund or to move your reservation to another date. We ask everybody who has a rental reservation to check our homepage of our website before they leave home to check on any updates.
