Rent a Boat in Muskoka: 13 Day Tempest Rentals in MacTier for Fishing, Cruising & Family Days

On any clear morning in Ontario’s Muskoka–Parry Sound corridor, the water opens like a promise. 13 Day Tempest Rentals offers flexible boat rentals that put you at the center of the region’s granite islands, pine-shelf shores, and placid bays. Based in MacTier, Ontario, this outfitter delivers fishing boats, bowriders, and pontoons to Muskoka Lake, Lake Rosseau, Lake Joseph and the wider Parry Sound area for half-day, full-day or multi-day escapes. What sets 13 Day Tempest Rentals apart is practical ease: life jackets and lake charts are included for key lakes, an on-water demonstration is required so every driver leaves confident, and the company can issue a temporary boater’s license if you don’t have one. Boats are inspected before and after each rental, and staff will deliver to many launch points across Parry Sound and Muskoka so you won’t waste a minute getting on the water. Expect straightforward policies: fuel is not included, watersports are prohibited, and drivers must be at least 25 with a valid driver’s license. A pre-authorization deposit of $1,500–$4,000 applies. The landscape here is defined by exposed Canadian Shield granite, scattered conifers, and the famous 30,000 Islands of Georgian Bay. On a calm day you’ll watch loons thread the mirror-smooth shorelines, and the half-hidden channels around rocky islands reveal quiet coves for swimming and lunch. Anglers will appreciate stable fishing platforms and easy access to deep-water structure; families will love roomy pontoons for picnics and gentle exploration. For first-timers, the company’s on-water demo and clear paperwork make the day manageable. For seasoned boaters, the delivery option and variety of hulls mean you can tailor distance and comfort: a nimble bowrider for cruising and sightlines, a pontoon for lounging and cooler storage, or a small fishing craft for early-morning trolling. Plan ahead: arrive early to complete check-in and expect 20–30 minutes for demonstration and inspection. Bring fuel cash or plan a refueling stop. Respect shallow spawning zones, follow posted speed limits near shorelines, and leave no trace on islands. Whether you’re chasing a quiet bay, chasing bass lines, or simply seeking the slow geometry of islands and sky, 13 Day Tempest Rentals is a pragmatic way into Ontario’s lake country. It’s an accessible, well-run option that keeps the focus on time spent on the water and the simple pleasures that make Muskoka and Parry Sound prized summer destinations. Book early for long weekends and weekends; delivery slots can fill quickly during peak season. Rentals accommodate small groups up to five depending on boat type — confirm passenger limits at booking. Staff are familiar with local launch rules and will brief you on safety, docking, and low-water hazards so your day is secure, relaxed, and focused on the water.
