Montreal boat rental: how to plan your outing
Short answer: to rent a boat in Montreal with BoatsFun, choose a boat in the catalogue, select a date and a time slot, then pay the deposit by credit/debit card or Interac e-Transfer. Your booking is confirmed after the payment has been verified. Departures are from the Marina de Pointe-aux-Trembles (Montreal) and the Marina de Boucherville (South Shore), with a Repentigny option depending on the boat.
Where boats depart from in Montreal
BoatsFun outings depart from two main areas, on either side of the St. Lawrence River:
- Marina de Pointe-aux-Trembles (Montreal) — departure point for the pontoons and the Regal 42 cruiser. Sailing towards Boucherville and the Varennes islands.
- Marina de Boucherville (South Shore) — departure point for the Azimut yachts. Sailing on the South Shore and the river.
- Marina de Repentigny (option) — some boats, like the Princecraft Vectra 23, also offer departure from Repentigny.
The exact location is shown on each boat's page, and the precise marina location is confirmed after booking.
How booking works
- Choose your boat, a date and a time of day in the catalogue.

Yachts are booked for 4 to 8 hours, as weekend packages or flexible weekday departures.
