A day out on a pontoon boat is an unforgettable experience, but it requires good preparation to ensure safety and enjoyment for everyone. At Location des Quatre Lacs, we prioritize safety and environmental responsibility. Here is a complete guide to help you prepare your pontoon day in Quebec.

Essentials to Bring On Board

To fully enjoy your pontoon day, here is what you need to bring: comfortable clothes, sunscreen, a hat or cap, sunglasses, towels, water, and snacks. Our boats come equipped with a table, a bimini top, a Bluetooth radio, and life jackets, but it is important to come prepared. Consult our rates section to plan your budget.

Pontoon Safety Rules

Safety is our top priority. The minimum age to rent a pontoon is 25, and a Pleasure Craft Operator Card is required (or a one-day permit). Our boats can accommodate up to 10 passengers, children included. It is forbidden to bring pets on board, make a fire on the boat, or tow equipment behind the boat. A $250 deposit by credit card is required, non-refundable but valid for one year. Respect the navigation zones and speed limits for your safety and that of other users.

Eco Tips to Preserve the Lakes

Quebec’s nature is a treasure to protect. During your pontoon rental, adopt eco-friendly practices: avoid throwing waste into the water, do not disturb local wildlife and flora, and use biodegradable sunscreen and hygiene products. These small gestures help preserve lake quality for future generations. Discover our tips for an environmentally respectful outing.
