MacTier Boat Rentals: Explore Muskoka Lakes with Six Day Tempest Rentals

Six Day Tempest Rentals puts you at the helm of Georgian Bay’s inland sea from MacTier, Ontario, serving Muskoka and Parry Sound with flexible boat rentals that let you make your own route across lakes, islands and pine-scarred granite. Based in the village of MacTier on the northern edge of Muskoka, this outfitter delivers fishing boats, bowriders and roomy pontoons to Muskoka Lake, Lake Rosseau, Lake Joseph and the Parry Sound archipelago for day or weekend trips.

What makes Six Day Tempest Rentals stand out is practical simplicity: full safety kit and life jackets, lake charts on main lakes, an on-water demonstration for every renter, and the option to issue a temporary boater’s license if you don’t have one. Rentals can be delivered to surrounding lakes, and the fleet is inspected before and after each outing. Drivers must be 25+, show a driver’s license, and be prepared for a pre-authorization hold for damages. Boats are not cleared for watersports, and fuel is not included—details that let you plan without surprises.

On the water the landscape is unmistakably Canadian Shield: bare pink granite, wind-scoured jack pine, narrow channels and pocket coves that hide fishing spots and quiet anchoring. Expect to cruise past small maple-studded islands, bob among the dots of the Parry Sound archipelago, and watch loons and bald eagles claim the shoreline. The area’s boating culture grew as rail access and camps arrived in the late 1800s, and today these lakes combine cottage history with rugged shoreline ecology.

Practical tips make rentals smooth: arrive early to allow 20–30 minutes for paperwork and demonstration, bring fuel or plan a refuel stop, and factor the refundable damage pre-authorization into your payment method. The company’s delivery option means you can start from a favorite bay and leave the logistics to the crew.

Six Day Tempest Rentals is an excellent choice for families seeking easy pontoons, anglers after quiet coves, or couples looking to explore islands at their own pace. It’s not a party boat or tow-sports operator, and that focus on responsible, guided access helps preserve the fragile shoreline while giving visitors confident control over their trip. If you want to move at your own speed between Muskoka’s famous lakes and Parry Sound’s hidden inlets, this rental outfit gives you a tidy, reliable way to do it—one boat, one chart, and a day of water under your keel.

Reserve through their FareHarbor page to view available models and confirm delivery locations; expect a security hold and paperwork at check-in. Bring a cooler, waterproof bag for valuables, and pack sunscreen and a paper map as backup. With a clear plan and conservative fuel estimates, a day on these lakes becomes uncomplicated and truly memorable.
