Frequently asked questions For all boats

Should we bring our own sheets?
Is petrol included in the price?

How old do you have to be to sail?

We require pontoon captains to be at least 25 years old, and 30 for the houseboat. This policy is designed to ensure that only qualified and responsible persons are authorized to sail. Our teams will evaluate each application to determine the suitability of each individual.
Do I need a license to rent a motorboat?

To rent a motorboat without a recreational driver’s license, a safety checklist must be completed with the rental company representative. Onboard safety training will be carried out to demonstrate competence, and a temporary permit will be provided.
Although a Pleasure Craft Operator Card is not legally required, it is recommended. A valid driver’s license or passport is required.
For houseboats, a license is required. Online training lasts just 3 hours, costs $59, and the license is valid for life.

For hourly rentals (pontoon, electric boat, etc.), a $1500 security deposit will be deducted from your credit card before departure. For the houseboat, the deposit is $2,500.
This amount can be used to cover unpaid charges, late returns, lost or damaged items, extra cleaning and damage resulting from negligent use or activity on board.

Is alcohol allowed on board?

Quebec: In Quebec, there are fines and penalties for driving a boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These are the same as those applicable to driving a motor vehicle under the influence.

Quebec boaters are allowed to carry open alcohol on boats while underway.

In addition, the boat operator may consume alcohol if his or her alcohol content does not exceed the legal limit of 80 mg or 0.08% BAC.

Ontario: Ontario boaters convicted of operating a boat under the influence can have their driver’s license suspended for at least a year.

In addition, Ontario’s ignition interlock program applies to people convicted of drinking and driving.

In Ontario, if your boat is equipped with permanent toilet, cooking and sleeping facilities, boat passengers can legally consume alcohol. However, the boat must be anchored or moored.

Parking is available on the street as well as in front of 410 Victoria Street, where our commercial building is located. For guests staying on the houseboat, a reserved on-site parking space is available (free of charge) exclusively for Vacances Sunset Dreams customers.
