Default Drift boat rentals

I would like to rent a drift boat, I checked the internet and phoned the shuttle company and they are no longer in operation. Thanks for the help if you know someone.

I'd not rent out my boat but I would rent myself out with the boat for a reasonable fee. You get me on the oars. You pay the shuttle, bring your own lunch...
I just run the boat wherever you want it to go.

If you do this then you'd be smart to have liability insurance at a minimum and potentially a business licence and permits depending on where you launch (i.e., FCP)...

Liability only insurance is 800 per season. I looked into it because I am hoping to guide on the Bow. Full commercial insurance is over 1600 a season.
For a guy to use me and my boat once or twice a year?
Nope.
Let's not be silly here. Sounds like an NDP plan in full effect. Lol
Let me rephrase it then. You can use me and the boat for free. Just leave a reasonable sum for gas.

No shuttle service either or just no boat rentals?

I met a guy at Police last Wednesday who was doing that very thing...red, black and white Clack, wouldn't be you by any chance? $300 a trip shuttle included, not bad!

Wasn't me. I've never done it.
