The company offers tailored programs for cottage owners and groups, delivering two primary experiences: the Your Ride Your Way Concierge Service, which provides personalized boating lessons at a guest's cottage with certified instructors using either client equipment or Simcoe Wake Sports' top-tier gear; and the Wakeboard/Wake Surf Charter Keswick, an hourly rental charter available up to 12 hours with two captains on board and capacity for up to eight passengers.
Safety and convenience are central to the operation. Certified instructors conduct the concierge lessons, while charters include two captains to manage navigation and on-water operations.
