Safety Measures

Safety has always been our number one priority at Deer Lake Boat Rentals.  Since 1972, we have reduced the risk of the hazards of boating by supplying PFD's and equipment approved by Transport Canada, we have N.L. certified lifeguards on staff and we have provided instruction and rescue equipment at Deer Lake.

If you would like to bring your own equipment such as lifejackets and paddles, that is not a problem.  Lifejackets must be Transport Canada approved. 

We strictly have a no tolerance policy for anyone showing any signs or symptoms of Covid 19.  Our staff are not permitted to come to work if they show any signs or symptoms of Covid 19.  They will be immediately sent home and all areas immediately disinfected.  Our staff have been trained to identify the signs of symptoms of Covid 19.  Customers will be denied service if they arrive showing any signs or symptoms of Covid 19.  As such, all reservations are fully refundable.

To assist us in providing the safest service possible please:

Prior to Arrival:

• We strongly encourage you to reserve and pay online ahead of time.
• We strongly encourage you to complete waiver forms ahead of time.
• We strongly recommend that you pay by contactless debit or credit card.
• We will sanitize lifejackets and paddles after each use...but you are welcome to bring your own lifejackets and paddles if you have them.

We thank you for your patience and your understanding at this time as we all do the right thing.  Please also understand that despite doing our best....service will be slower than under more favourable circumstances.
