Fishing & Pontoon Boat Rentals Ontario
Loughborough Marina boat rentals are located on the Inn property offering utility, fishing, and pontoon boat rentals for your boating and fishing needs.
Whether you need to rent a boat because you don’t own one of your own, or you simply don’t feel like bringing the one you have, Loughborough Inn has you covered; our boat rentals are easy, affordable, and quick to reserve. Dockage is provided at no charge for those who bring their boats and each berth has access to electrical outlets. Launch is located adjacent to Loughborough Lake Marina (no charge for Loughborough Inn guests).
Even if you’re from out of town – Kingston or Gananoque – and want to examine the stock of our rental boats, we are a short drive away from both and always welcome new inquiries. Boat rentals are a great way to test the waters and see if it’s cut out for you. If you have any questions related to the craft or any concerns about your boat rental, the helpful staff at the marina will be glad to assist you and fill you in on everything you need to know.
Fishing Boats
About Fishing Boats
One could argue that any boat could be a fishing boat, but when we’re talking about fishing boats, we’re talking about boats that were designed specifically with fishing in mind. This is what makes them one of the most popular boat rental types. These fishing boats come equipped with bait tanks, trolling motors, 40 hp and above have swivel seats, as well as places to store rods.

Pontoon Boats
About Pontoon Boats
Pontoon boats are another popular kind of fishing and pleasure boat. These flat boats rely on pontoons to float and can carry a heavy load. As far as pontoon boats go as boat rental types, they are great for family outings where not everyone wants to fish. They are roomy enough to allow for fishing and other kinds of fun, like sun bathing, reading, diving and swimming. These boats are used in fresh and salt water.
