Our boats capacity varies according to the boat type : the maximum capaicty for the catamaran-pedalo is 4 people, for the Bbq donut it's 10 people, and for the Fantail it's from 8 to 10 people. For safety rules, each person would get a life vest to waer, hence children over 2 years old count as a person, not babies.

If fou are more than 7 on the Fantail and want to be comfortable to enjoy your meals, we recommend menus to share or finger food, to avoid feeling tight.

No, less than 10 people can board our boats. The rental price varies according to the number of people and the duration of the ride. A minimum rate is set for up to 7 people, and each additional person will be charged a supplement based on the chosen duration formula. We recommend you to be as many as possible in order to minimize the individual cost.

Example: for an hour boat ride, the minimum price is $ 149.95 for up to 7 people, and each additional person will pay $ 20. So, if you are 7, the price per person would be $ 21.42, if you 5 it would be $ 29.99, and if you are 10 it would be $ 14.99. The quote "The more we are, the better" will never be so meaningful.

Yes. Our boats accommodate babies from birth as there is no age limit to board. However, Babies / children must be under the responsibility of their parents or any adult accompanying them. For safety measures, every passenger on board will be supplied with a lifejacket approved by Transport Canada. Seats and baby carriers are not allowed on board. We recommend carrying the baby on you.

A designated driver will captain the craft*, to whom navigation and safety instructions will be given as well as a driving training before the outing on the water. We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes before the start of your rental as not to eat up on your rental time. The boats are easy to maneuver, as simple as a golf cart. Even for novices, the grip will not be difficult. AquaPiknik therefore offers you an excellent opportunity to introduce you to pleasure boating; however, a captain service is also available if you prefer, at a cost of $ 50 per hour.
The captain or designated driver must be at least 21 years old. If it turns out that this condition is not met during the check on rental day, the reservation will be canceled by AquaPiknik without refund.
