A marina and outfitter on Lac Saint-Pierre at Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola, QC, renting fishing boats, pontoons, kayaks, cabins, yurts and houseboats, with friendly staff but some equipment and upkeep complaints.
Outfitter Lac Saint-Pierre (Pourvoirie du Lac Saint-Pierre) sits on the islands of Lac Saint-Pierre, part of the St. Lawrence, and offers fishing boat and pontoon rentals, kayaks and canoes, guided fishing, cabins, a yurt, houseboats and campsites. Visitors describe beautiful surroundings for boating and birdwatching, with boardwalk trails nearby.
The front-desk team is the most praised part of the operation, with several staff named for being warm, patient and helpful. First-time boat renters say staff explained everything and walked them through the paperwork and rules. Prices are generally seen as reasonable, and boats come in many sizes.
Fishing visitors mention good days on the water, and guided trips get positive reviews. Campers and cabin guests enjoyed the getaway feel, with the campsite offering a full bathroom, picnic table and fire pit, and one couple found the yurt clean and air-conditioned.
Complaints tend to involve equipment and logistics. A recent family's boat stalled soon after leaving with no replacement or pickup, one group found a cabin not ready and a houseboat without running water, and others mention a missing anchor, dated grounds and buildings, a single washroom at reception, and a damage dispute over a pontoon. Photograph your boat before leaving the dock and check that everything is on board.
