A boat and watercraft rental outfit in Bobcaygeon, Kawartha Lakes, with pontoons, fishing boats, jet skis and kayaks on Pigeon Lake and the Trent-Severn Waterway. Friendly, organized and well equipped.
Buckeye Rentals rents pontoons, fishing boats, jet skis and kayaks in the Kawartha Lakes, and nearly every review is five stars. Customers describe modern, clean, well-kept equipment, with one 21-foot pontoon coming with a fish finder, GPS and Bluetooth speakers.
Service is the standout. Reviewers describe a family team that is professional and friendly, fits kids with life jackets, and gives clear operating instructions and a lake map marking rocks to avoid. Inexperienced renters say staff helped them several times during a week-long rental. Jet skis can be delivered to your dock and picked up afterward.
The rentals suit everything from a day on Pigeon Lake to a longer cottage trip. One angler caught a first muskie using fishing spots staff pointed out on the map. A family arranged a one-way pontoon rental to travel four locks from the Kirkfield Lift Lock in a day. Kayaks are rented from the shop, which sits downstairs in a surf clothing store across from paid public parking. Pets are welcome.
Complaints are rare. Book ahead for summer weekends and longer rentals, as repeat customers often reserve the next year's dates before they leave.
