Canoe rental on the water with the Stawamus Chief behind, Squamish

The easiest boat rental in Squamish — we bring it to you.

You don't need to own a truck, a roof rack, or a boat licence to get on the water in Squamish. We rent human-powered boats — canoes, stand-up paddleboards and rafts — and deliver them free to whatever launch you pick. Paddles, PFDs, bailers and whistles are all included.

Tell us where and when. We set the boat out on the shore, you paddle, and we collect it at the end — whether it's an afternoon at Cat Lake, a weekend at Alice Lake, or a Howe Sound morning under the Chief.

Renting a boat in Squamish, made simple.

Because every boat we rent is human-powered, you don't need a Pleasure Craft Operator Card or any boat licence to head out — just wear the PFD and pick a launch that matches your experience. Calm lakes like Cat Lake and Brohm Lake are perfect for first-timers; the Squamish River and open Howe Sound are for paddlers with a trip or two under their belt.
