Boating Accessories You Should Have

If you’re looking to rent a boat in Montreal, then you’ve come to the right place. As a seasoned boater, I know exactly what you need to make the most out of your time on the water. In this article, I’m going to share with you the top boating accessories that every boater should have. Whether you’re renting a pontoon, a regular boat, or a BBQ Donut boat, these accessories will help you have the best boating experience possible.

First things first, let’s talk about the type of boat you’re renting. If you’re looking for a party boat, then the BBQ Donut boat is the perfect choice. With a built-in barbecue in the middle, you can grill up some delicious food while enjoying the beautiful scenery around you. If you’re looking for a more traditional boating experience, then a pontoon or regular boat might be more suitable. It all depends on your needs and objectives.


Now, let’s move on to the top boating accessories that you should have on your boat:

1. Life Jackets – Safety first! Every boater should have a properly fitting life jacket on board. This is especially important if you have children on board. Normally they already come with the boat if you rent one. In our case, we provide them to the customers when they arrive and we make sure the size fits properly to every passengers. Cause trust me, if anything happens, you don’t want to get stuck with a life jacket that can’t even fit the size of your legs haha!

2. Anchor – An anchor is a must-have for any boater. It allows you to stop and enjoy the scenery, swim, or fish. Yeah, obviously if you don’t anchor your boat and decide to go swim in the water, you might swim for a loooong period of time… So keep in mind to use it! And if you’re a newbie in this, we recommend you learning about anchoring techniques. 

3. Cooler – Keep your drinks and snacks cool with a good cooler. A Yeti or Igloo cooler will do the trick.

4. Bluetooth Speaker – Keep the tunes going with a waterproof Bluetooth speaker. JBL and Bose are two great brands to consider.

5. Binoculars – Binoculars can help you spot wildlife and other interesting things in the distance. It’s also a good safety accessory to have on board.

6. GPS – A GPS system can help you navigate and find your way back to the dock. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. Usually the Boat Rental Companies already have their own GPS system like we do.

7. Towable Tubes – If you have kids on board, towable tubes are a fun accessory to have. They can be attached to the back of the boat and provide hours of entertainment.

8. Sunscreen – Protect your skin from the harmful UV rays with a good sunscreen. Make sure to reapply every few hours.

9. Water Toys – Kayaks, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear are great water toys to have on board. They allow you to explore and enjoy the water in different ways.

10. First Aid Kit – Accidents can happen, so it’s always a good idea to have a first aid kit on board. Make sure it’s well-stocked with band-aids, antiseptic, and other basic medical supplies. Of course when you rent a boat, it should comes with it.

There you have it, folks – the top boating accessories that every boater should have. Whether you’re renting a pontoon, regular boat, or BBQ Donut boat, these accessories will help you have a safe and enjoyable time on the water.
