A full-service marina on the Ottawa River in Ottawa renting pontoon and aluminum fishing boats, with repair service and a boat launch. Renters praise the clear instructions, clean boats and fair prices.
Port of Call Marina is a working marina on the Ottawa River, with docks, slips, a launch, storage and a service shop. One returning visitor who grew up there says the docks are newer and the slips bigger than they remember, with more motorboats than sailboats these days.
Most reviews come from people renting boats. The 21-foot pontoon is the popular choice for groups and families, and renters describe it as clean, ready to go and reasonably priced. Staff in the office and on the dock walk you through operating the boat and where the safety gear is, and one family was pointed toward good fishing spots. Aluminum fishing boats are also available, and anglers describe an easy process in and out.
Boat owners speak well of the service side. One owner of an older boat with a hard-to-find stern drive said the mechanics sourced the parts patiently and charged fairly. A sailboat crew who ran aground on a nearby shoal were pulled off by marina staff and praised their courtesy.
Complaints are few. The main one is the 5 pm return time on rentals, which one visitor found early for long summer evenings. Plan your day around it.
